‘Centre Stage’ – The Show Must Go On

The last few weeks have been very busy in the Drama Department! Our Cultural Pacific Action Group was responsible for initiating an exciting online talent competition called ‘Centre Stage’. This was a wonderful opportunity for students to submit a performance online and to showcase their talents. We had more than 50 entrants in the competition. Acts included music, both classical and contemporary, song and instrumental, speech and drama monologues and duologues, dance, film clips and even animation. We are excitedly awaiting the adjudication of the winning three performances, judged by industry professional Clint Bolster from Homunculus Theatre Company. Stay tuned for the results!

At the end of last term, Homunculus Theatre Company presented ‘The Spirit of the Mask’ to Year 8 students. Students were thoroughly entertained and engaged by Clint and Lauren, who performed using Commedia Dell ‘Arte, a tradition which extends more than 500 years.
