Arts Centre Excursion

Students from year 11 Drama and year 9 Production joined forces on an exciting trip to the the Arts Centre Melbourne to view an exciting production titled 'Laser Beak Man'.

"Laser Beak man is a new and imaginative production, that tells its story through the amazing art of puppetry. This colourful, creative and imaginative piece was inspired by the famous work of Tim Sharpe who is an autistic artist from Australia. The story explores friendship, betrayal, justice and injustice whilst also having humour that the whole family can enjoy. This play is accompanied by the wonderful music by Sam Cromack of Ball Park Music as well as having the puppets created by Dead Puppet’s Society...

This play created an imaginative environment that presented itself with many laughs that the audience were able to connect too. From having the bogan barbie character, evil mastermind to black sheep. The play delved into the relationships between friendships and even enemies. With the help of interactive settings, props and music this play was a journey of hardships and victories as well as being filled with humour that everyone will be able to have a laugh at. To me Laser Beak Man showed us all a bit of what life can be like and the play beautifully went hand in hand with that."

Year 9 Production: "We Open tomorrow night?!"

Our year 9 Production class is currently busy preparing their production "We Open tomorrow Night?!' A farcical comedy of a disastrous dress rehearsal for a high school talent show. Starring 15 talented year 9 performers, and supported by a team of year 9 designers working on set, costumes, props, sound and light, it is sure to be a success! The performance forms a part of the 'Children's Theatre' unit of work and we are excited to welcome 140 students from Bell Primary School on the 21st of November. Go team!

Year 8 Drama

Our year 8 Drama classes are currently exploring the History of Coburg as a stimulus for their class devised performance. Students have travelled back in time to pre-colonial Coburg where they have been learning about Wurundjeri culture and dreamtime stories; exploring the characters of Coburg through the exploration of the Coburg cemetery; and are about to learn more about the history of Coburg High School. Their class performances will be shown to year 7 and 8 audiences later this term. Good luck year 8s!

Year 10 Visual Communication Design

At the end of Term 3 the Year 10 Visual Communication Design students exemplified the value of Curiosity. Students explored a series of exhibitions that showcased rare and historical books at The State Library World of Books Exhibition, Liquid Light - 500 Years of Venetian Glass at NGV, and completed their day engaging via a guided tour of over 50 design works by some of the most powerful female designers in Australian and across the world in Designing Women exhibition at NGV.

Each one of these exhibitions provided students with scope to explore the world of design through the lens of publication, product and visual communication. These incredibly inspiring exhibitions featured works that students will continue to engage with throughout this term in Year 10 VCD.
