VCE ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ Performance Evening – Tales from the Tower of London
An unkindness of Ravens flew into ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ College early this term to share tales from the Tower of London to an audience of family and friends. Using heightened language and poetry, our Unit 3 ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ students skilfully transformed into Ravens and used physical theatre to provide striking imagery and synchronisation as they performed a montage of historic events.
Throughout Term One ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ students learnt about a range of performance styles and associated conventions from a diverse range of contemporary and cultural performance traditions including Epic Theatre, Commedia dell'arte, Theatre of Cruelty and Physical Theatre. ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ worked collaboratively to devise, develop and present a student devised and original ensemble performance.
Essential interpersonal and intrapersonal skills were developed throughout the process as students became active listeners and motivated contributors, negotiated, problem solved, delegated and took on leadership positions, whilst working collaboratively to achieve a set goal. A rigorous process of researching, brainstorming, scripting, directing and refining work resulted in two very strong performance pieces. ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ extended themselves to transform between a range of contrasting characters and enhanced their performance skills and confidence throughout the process.
Congratulations to our VCE ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ students on their engaging and thought provoking performance work.
