Year 11 GCSE Drama, Music and Dance students were lucky enough to experience a theatrical day of magic in London.
They visited the Royal Albert Hall, where they sat in one of the prestigious boxes, whilst Jamie’s Cullum’s band completed a sound check. They also undertook a guided tour of the Hall, finding out about the workings of a professional performance venue. The hall was breath taking in its size and beauty!
After a short coach ride taking in the sights of London, students then participated in a guided tour of The National Theatre on the South Bank. They learnt about the importance of the Olivier, Lyttleton and Dorfman theatres (3 under one roof!) in continuing to create experimental, world class theatre for all. Students also had the opportunity to go backstage, looking at how sets, props costumes and wigs are made.
A wonderful day was had by all; well done Year 11!
