Students have been working hard on exam pieces in our Drama & Performing Arts Department throughout the last term.

In A’ Level Drama and Theatre, Chloe B and Georgia A, pictured here, spectacularly deconstructed Ken Kasey’s novel ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoos’ Nest’ in what was one of the most powerful pieces the department has ever produced. They were challenged with creating a performance that lasted only six minutes, but in that time they managed to question sanity, gender stereotypes, crime and punishment and look at how reality can be manipulated through words.

Miss Howard, Director of Learning for the department said, â€�“This successful performance was grade A in standard and the work ethic of the group was second to none. It has been an honour to work with such amazing, dedicated students.”

In Performing Arts the class have been putting together a dynamic performance based on the film, ‘Labyrinth’, and have used physical theatre in combination with Drama to create contemporary, dynamic performance pieces. The ideas in the class are outstanding and we are excited to see what the final result will be.
