THE KS3 DRAMA FESTIVAL
THEATRE TRIPS
Another year of exciting and innovative productions was offered
by Mrs Jenner in 2016.
The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time was a highly
sensitive mix of bold choreography, dazzling lighting and projection,
and imaginative staging as we journeyed with central protagonist
Christopher as he ventured out of his home town of Swindon in order
to try and find his mother.
On the other end of the entertainment scale was Mischief Theatre’s
A Comedy About A Bank Robbery, which was exactly as the title
suggests and chock full of raging stereotypes, farce, slapstick, and
repeated visual gags.
Perhaps most unique was Ockham’s
Razor’s piece Tipping Point where fours
actors pushed themselves to the limit in a
terrific show that wielded lethal-looking
poles to blend circus acrobatics, playground
games and trust exercises.
These wonderful highlights were
supplemented by a healthy dose of
Chekhov, local trips to Bromley and an
entire show without words. Never a dull
moment (except perhaps Songs Of Riot which just tried too hard to
please!)
This year’s theme was colour – each form had to
create an idea based on their house colour.
Amidst the dazzling array of costumes, cardboard
and cake were some stunning performances across all
year groups along with several staff cameos.
