WICKED the Musical 

On Wednesday 20 March the Year 9 & 10 Performing Arts classes headed into the Melbourne CBD to see WICKED the Musical. They were joined by the Performing Arts Captains and our Year 12 KPOP Dance troupe.  It was terrific to witness such creative and enthusiastic theatre students enjoying a world class production.

The students had a fantastic time on the day, starting with a feast at Melbourne Central, followed by a pleasant stroll in sunny weather down Swanston Street to the Regent Theatre.

Student reflections: 

Attending the Broadway sensation ‘Wicked’ was a fantastic opportunity for this semesters' Performing Arts groups.

From the minute we stepped foot on the bus, our classmates were buzzing with excitement and anticipation for what would be, which for many their first theatre show experience. Upon arrival at the Regent Theatre, our eyes were immediately directed to the eye-catching fluorescent green set design piquing our curiosity instantly. The booming symphony of the orchestra below the stage in combination with the fabulous acting, vibrant costuming and mystifying fog effect aided in creating a roller coaster of emotions. When the show began, the surround-sound literally took our breaths away.

Overall, it was an extraordinary experience; one for us to learn a lot from. The outing was unlike any excursion we have ever been on and we look forward to continuing our Performing Arts journey over the course of the semester.  Thank you so much to Mr Jones and the Drama Team for putting on such an amazing event!

Year 10 Performing Arts Production: Stage & Screen

On Thursday 21 March the Year 10 Performing Arts class performed two engaging shows to a student audience during the day and an evening performance to the EDSC community later that night.

The student devised show explored relationships within a variety of contexts. The class all undertook acting and production roles and should be incredibly proud of their efforts.
