CREATIVE & PERFORMING ARTS – Year 11 Drama Production

Year 11 Drama students spent ten weeks studying a unit called Page to Stage where they learnt about the role of director and designer in practice to stage a full length production of ‘This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing’ by Finegan Kruckemeyer for an audience.

The class took on multiple roles throughout the production process including actor, co-director and designer. They collaborated as a creative team, learnt lines, improvised and performed, and liaised with the technical operators of lighting, sound and staging (from Year 11 VET Entertainment & the year 9 & 10 Stage Crew) to bring the show to the stage.

The play had a seating capacity of 30 tickets per show and sold out both shows. We are delighted to congratulate the students on their wonderful work this term. They have learnt an incredible amount about theatre-making from this process and will take this experience with them into the HSC and beyond. This class will now embark next term on an experiential play study of two Australian plays before commencing HSC course work in Term 4.

Any year 10 students interested in studying Drama should contact Ms Che Walsh-Kemp with questions.
