On Thursday 31 October, the Year 9 Drama classes performed two short comedies: Appropriate Audience Behaviour by Ian McWerthy and It’s Not You, It’s Me by Don Zolidis. As part of these productions, the students worked to apply voice and movement techniques which were taught in class to their individual characters, as well as fulfil production roles behind the scenes.

The students really enjoyed workshopping their scenes and developing the characters. Adding the technical elements of lighting and sound helped bring the productions to life, together with adding in food props. It’s amazing how real food on stage creates such a buzz amongst the cast! Well done to the Year 9 students for pulling it all together, supporting each other through the rehearsal process and entertaining their audience! The students had a ball performing to their friends and family. I wish them all the best as they finish out the year and look forward to seeing them develop their dramatic skills in Year 10.
