Theatre Study Visits

The last few weeks have been a busy time for Performing Arts, as students on our Level 2 and Level 3 courses in Drama, Performing Arts and Dance have been visiting performances directly linked to their courses of study.

For Performing Arts, students attended a performance of ‘Mean Girls’ the musical, written by Tina Fey, which forms part of the skills development course in both year 10 and year 12.

GCSE Drama students were treated to an incredible stage production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ from the RSC at the Barbican Theatre. With Matthew Baynton (Ghosts / Horrible Histories) as Bottom, this was a superb performance giving the students plenty to write about as part of their ‘Theatre makers in practice’ unit.

Finally, our Dance students in Year 10 and 12 will be visiting Sadler’s Wells to see ‘Swan Lake – The New Generation’. Choreographed by Matthew Bourne, this has become a firm favourite amongst educators and the general public alike!

Christmas Performances

Members of our Senior and Junior Choirs will once again be performing for the residents of Lea Springs as part of their Christmas festivities. What is now an annual event sees over 40 students perform a selection of well-loved Christmas carols and songs at the end of their Christmas meal.

Our senior choir will also be performing at the annual Mayor’s Christmas Concert at St Nicholas Church this coming Tuesday at 6pm. (Please note the revised time.)
