Year 10 Children's Theatre

During the course of this Semester, the Year 10 Drama students have been undertaking a unit of work on Children’s Theatre: conventions, techniques and practice.

As a culmination of their study, the girls formed groups to devise their own small plays designed specifically for the target audience of young children. Once their scripts were written, the students then worked on producing their plays for an intended audience of Year One children. The Drama class then set about blocking, rehearsing and polishing their productions ready for a real live performance!

So on Monday, May 26^th, the productions of Children’s Theatre were performed for Year One pupils from St Joseph’s Primary School (Nundah) and St Mary of the Cross (Wilston) here at Mary MacKillop College. The characters ranged from Pirates to Princesses, Lions to Elephants, each play delighting the little audience members, eliciting shrieks of laughter and joy as the young children immersed themselves in the dramatic action and the world of their imaginations.

The experience was one that the Year 10’s will never forget: creating and shaping a dramatic performance *from the page to the stage* and enjoying the pleasure of the beaming smiles on the faces of little people in the audience.
