Year 11 Drama Performances

Last week the Year 11 Drama cohort completed their first performance SAC of the year, and it really was a great success. Their challenge was to write and perform a solo piece to tell a story from their own cultures or experiences, and the class have been working since the beginning of term on drafting and professionally scripting their work. Performers helped each-other by operating the theatre lighting, staging and sound for their peers in a great display of our STARR value ‘teamwork’.

After dress-rehearsals were finished it was time to take the stage, and the audience were wowed by the diverse range of performances on offer. We laughed, cried and gasped as we enjoyed a mixture of fantastic performances spanning horror, comedy, tragedy, coming of age tales and stories from a world of fantasy.

When the performances were over the whole class breathed a sigh of relief. The next time our cohort perform we will be working as a large ensemble, and the audience will be much larger! We spent time reflecting on our progress as performers, and noticed some similarities and differences between our scripts. The Year 11 Drama class are to be commended for their excellent planning and preparation.

Well-done team!
