The Year 9 GCSE Dance and Drama students put on an excellent evening of performances last night to show off their talent and passion for the arts.
The first half of the evening showcased a selection of Dance work based on the theme of ‘opposites’. The students performed various duets/trios using different stimuli as well as three whole class pieces. The first act closed with a dance based on ‘girl power’ using the Suffragette movement as inspiration.
The second half of the evening showcased a selection of Drama work based on pictures of different faces. The work was very abstract and in a Brechtian style, highlighting features such as the use of chorus and multi-rolling. The evening closed with a piece based on Grenfell Tower- there was not a dry eye in the audience!
The students work was to an incredibly high standard and they really enjoyed creating theperformances that were seen. I am incredibly impressed with all the students focus, commitment and team work! Well done to all those involved and all those that came to support.
