PERFORMING ARTS

Welcome back to term 2. We are in for an incredibly busy term of performances and are excited to inform you of the upcoming performances throughout the faculty. 

ANZAC DAY

In the last week we have had a large number of students involved in the ANZAC day commemorations, and we thank them for their demonstration of gravitas at these events.  

 

Thank you to Isaac Albanis (Year 10), Hadyn Collier (Year 12), Francis Eather (Year 10), Luc Georges (Year 12), Lucy Green (Year 9), Obert Han (Year 10), Thomas Hosken (Year 10), Arnav Mahajan (Year 10), Marcel Minkovski (Year 12), Theo Pahl (Year 10), Alexander Pantelios (Year 12), Ignacy Swider-Figureoa (Year 10) and Stefan Tale (Year 9), who were convened by Dmitry Serebrianik, to play at the Anzac Day Ceremony on April 25 for the Bentleigh RSL. 

 

Thank you also to Jodie Silberthau (Year 12), Ruben Stein-Fooks (Year 12) and Seffra Tienstra (Year 12) for their work as the vocalists at this ceremony.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY 

Thank you to Valeria Camacho Acevedo (Year 12 student and Monash Music Captain) for performing the National Anthem, accompanied by Jesus Camacho-Morles on the quatro at the General Assembly on Friday 28 April. 

Congratulations to the Choral group from Monash who recreated their fantastic rendition of Diamonds by Rhianna, from their winning performance at the House Music Festival.

Thank you to Ignacy Swider-Figureoa (Year 10) for playing the Last Post to commemorate ANZAC day at the General Assembly. 

UPCOMING PERFORMANCES

Year 12 Theatre Studies Play 

After a dedicated preparation period by the Year 12 Theatre Studies Class, the students warmly welcome you to view their interpretation of:

 

THE SECRET IN THE WINGS by Mary Zimmerman

-  Friday 12 May at 7pm

-  Saturday 13 May at 2pm and 7pm

Tickets are on sale now BOOK HERE

 

Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love. 

 

A series of not-so-familiar fairy tales, told through beautiful, haunting and dream-like images and the imaginary play of children. A journey of the imagination, from basement to forest, through sea and sky, mountain and desert, abandonment and redemption. In the process, we are called upon to face our fears, to discover our unique gifts, to help each other and to be open to transformation.
