The Midnite Youth Theatre Excursion

On June 23, the Year 11 and 12 Drama students were given the amazing opportunity to go to Subiaco Arts Centre to watch The Midnite Youth Theatre Company's production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

We left school at 12.30pm and made our way to the theatre by bus. We were seated in the first three very centre and front rows, which made the experience all the more special. We were inspired by the performances of the cast, who consisted of students our own ages and they performed this Shakespearean classic extremely well. The play included live music, contemporary costumes and lots of comedy.

The Year 11 ATAR class are going to be performing selected scenes from this script this term, so it was a great insight for them to get a better understanding and be inspired by the modern twists.

Year 10 Drama Incursion

Our Year 10 Drama students were excited to start this term with a visit by actor, Nichola Renton, who taught our students new skills in fighting for the stage. The stage combat training included unarmed combat skills such as illusory slaps, punches, kicks, throwing and holding techniques. Our budding performers got stuck into learning how to strike and defend, honing their most realistic ‘attacks’ on each other. Nichola offered her expertise in acting in Shakespeare plays and had our students act out fight scenes from Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
