Ian Potter Excursion

On the 12 of October, the Grade 5/6s went on an Ian Potter Theatre Re-opening excursion. A few students were chosen to go before the main group to learn about things that go on behind the scenes of a performance. 

There were 2 performances. One was performed by 2 ballet dancers and the other was performed by a hula hoop expert. They shared a little bit about themselves and why they chose to perform on the stage. Then a producer shared some of the jobs that happened behind the scenes of a performance like electricians and cooks. Afterwards, the small group joined the rest of the kids and then went into the main theatre. The performance was made up of songs, dances and acting performed by mimes, acrobats, singers and dancers. The performance was interactive and funny with a message of how the theatre is the place of belonging. After the show was finished, everybody left and went back to school. 

The grade 5/6s would like to thank the parent volunteers Liz, Kate, Juanne, Vanessa, Yvette and Jackie for coming along.
