This week a range of students from years 1 to 8 were allowed to go and watch an interactive performance created and performed by Calliope Theatre Company.
These performances are English-based, and students get to jump onto the stage and be a part of the show.
Year 7 and 8s were very engaged with the performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and loved interacting with the actors on stage. They had to fully understand the key parts of the play and how each of the characters felt towards each other. The texts were easy to follow and also combined Shakespearean with modern-day English language.
It was so funny and I couldn’t believe I was on stage playing a character without any practice
– Ffion Batten, Year 7
Thank you to Calliope Theatre company for entertaining, educating and engaging these students with your performance.
