QTC Physical Theatre Workshop

On Friday, July 16th, the Years 10 and 11 Drama students had the wonderful opportunity of participating in a Physical Theatre workshop held as part of the College “GO4IT “ days. This one- day intensive workshop was offered by the Queensland Theatre Company, and we were very fortunate in acquiring Jason from the Company to lead the workshop.

The physical theatre day was a drama extension activity which was both challenging and most enjoyable for the girls, who responded well to Jason’s professional approach and direction. The day began with trust, focus and movement exercises, and was followed by sessions concentrating on movement and awareness. The girls worked in three groups towards developing and devising a physical interpretation of a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, focusing on the use of movement and sound. The result was three very interesting and creative performances that the drama students can feel proud of!

All in all, the experience was rewarding and enriching, and will most certainly be invaluable as the girls continue with their studies in Drama.
