Summer Schools

Yet again, the Summer Schools were a great success with both age groups performing at the end of their week of drama training.

The younger group (8-12 yrs) spent their week learning performance, ensemble and devising theatre techniques, performing a piece about “image and the media” for parents and friends after 5 days of working together.

The older group (13-18 yrs) were coached in the performance styles of Brecht, Stanislavski and Artaud, using naturalism, political theatre and symbolism to devise and perform a piece that took the audience on a journey from birth and innocence to cynicism and death.

Both groups were very creative and mature in their approach – a good team spirit was created from the very first day which enabled the students to work well together and produce some excellent pieces of work – some of which were used for performance.
