Last weekend our Drama Scholars from UIV to UVI gathered as an ensemble, to create a piece of physical theatre. On the evening of Friday 26th November, Dance and Drama Specialist, Miss Robyn Caldwell, led them through a teambuilding workshop, working on developing a physical language as a group and considering the stimulus: Don't Ask Jack, a short story by Neil Gaiman.
The UVI Drama students were finally able to perform their postponed devised play last Tuesday, 23rd November. This was an examined piece, based on stimuli set by the department, which told the story of a tragic Northern comedian (played by Rosie) confronting his demons, in the form of a disappearing daughter.
This year’s Senior Musical, Betty Blue Eyes, was finally able to be staged to an audience with a terrific performance in front of a near full house of family and staff on the evening of Friday 5th November.
Friday evening saw the first proper drama presentations to parents in over 18 months; a carefully orchestrated double-bill allowed MIV (Year 8) and UIV (Year 9) parents to attend to watch two very contrasting productions.
