Our Level three, Year Two, Performing Arts students have been working very hard for the past few weeks and can finally unveil their latest endeavour, "A Mind-Expanding Journey: Exploring the Depths of Human Behaviour."
Through their masterful performances, our talented students bring to life poignant situations that touch the deepest parts of our hearts. The students showcased characters navigating the complexities of "first love" and explore the heart-wrenching disintegration of relationships. This brilliant performance is full of surprising twists and turns that defy expectations and leave us pondering the multifaceted nature of human existence.
One audience member commented, "I was completely drawn into the performance. The students' portrayal of complex emotions was truly remarkable. It was as if I was watching seasoned professionals on stage."
The performance really captured the importance of human connection as our students peeled back the layers of siblings caught in a dystopian world. Witnessing the claustrophobic lives they lead and questioning the impact of personal values when confronted with bureaucracy and challenging colleagues as well as the limitations of the individual within a collective society. Our Young Actors astonished audiences with their presentation of ten fast paced Duologues, which saw every member of the company demonstrating both talent and ability. During the last term the company have been researching and rehearsing the Duologues, looking at staging techniques and character interpretation.
Our students breathe life into the fragments of renowned writers such as Jonathan Harvey, Willy Russell, Sue Townsend, Philip Ridley, and April de Angelis.
The play's Director/ Teacher Andy Smith, was immensely proud of the students' accomplishments. "The polished work on stage is only the tip of the iceberg. What the audience don’t see is the hours of planning, reflection, rehearsal and discussion which underpins every performance. Hard work and talent and more hard work is the key to success.
