Year 12 Drama and Senior Dance

The Year 12 Drama students have been busy this term preparing for their IA1 performance submissions. They entered the final stages of their rehearsal process this week, polishing their Absurd Theatre performance pieces in small groups to present on Friday morning in their double lesson. It has been encouraging to see the commitment and the effort that the Year 12’s have approached this first task of the year with and I wish them the best for their final performance on Friday.

In Dance, senior students have completed their first task for the year, a solo performance in the style of contemporary dance. They are feeling positive as they move into the next focus area of their dance studies and should be congratulated on the excellent organisation for this task, despite the challenges the beginning of the term presented.

Year 9 Drama

There is a positive buzz of energy and creativity in the air as the Year 9 drama students engage in collaborative brainstorming around the implementation of the dramatic elements in contemporary texts. The classroom atmosphere was alive with students focused on their group work under the guidance of their teacher, Mrs Stevens.  

Mrs Lis Stevens comes to us from Sydney, having moved here with her family in the holidays, and brings with her an enormous amount of expertise and energy for classroom practice in drama. We warmly welcome Mrs Stevens and look forward to working with her in the drama and cultural contexts of the College throughout the year.
