Year 10 Drama Workshop

Last week the Year 10 Drama students were lucky enough to have a guest artist, Clint Bolster from Homunculus Theatre Company, run a full-day workshop on Commedia dell’Arte. They engaged in a number of highly physical and challenging activities throughout the day with a focus on character mask work and the physical comedic techniques that accompany them. The students enjoyed this unique, valuable learning opportunity, which challenged them to play and perform through creative thinking and physical theatre, and which encouraged all to express themselves in a fun and safe environment. 

“In this age of technology live drama experiences are vital for our young people to encounter joy, vulnerability, physical discipline and freedom of expression. It is important to offer these learning experiences to assist our students in developing a more positive slant on our human condition.” (www.homunculustheatre.com.au)
