Shakespeare Schools Festival 2022

WE DID IT!

Bigger, bolder, brighter is the way to describe the production of Romeo and Juliet  that our Westlake Primary School drama kids presented at the Shakespeare Schools Festival.

With generous sponsorship from the Fondazione Labia (third year), we were able to take 15 learners through an intense programme of auditions, casting, acting games and  exercises.  Teaching story telling techniques, voice production and dance we brought a contemporary, re-worked tale of the star-crossed lovers.

The cherry on the top was the performance on August 10th at the Baxter Theatre.  We went from a large school hall onto a  real stage.  There was a lot of  excitement in the dressing rooms,  joyful wonder at the effect of added  lighting and sound, and the joy of  performing for an audience.

Bring on 2023
