Drama: Student teaching and a theatre trip

It has been another busy week for the Drama Department. Year 12 students, inspired by their time at the ISTA Festival, developed exciting and engaging workshops for our Year 10 Drama students. These workshops explored Laban and Le Coq techniques and Balinese masked theatre.

We also visited Bromsgrove International School who were hosting the theatre company: The Handlebards. The Handlebards are a touring company from England who perform Shakespeare plays in an accessible and fun way, the performance of Romeo and Juliet was outstanding. Afterwards we were lucky enough to participate in workshops with the company members. The students thoroughly enjoyed this event and will be using their experience to inform practical work in Year 9 and theoretical exploration in Year 12.
