This week, industry professional Ali Clinch and Jena Prince led two one-hour workshops with the Years 11/12 Drama class. Ali and Jena are working with Canberra Theatre Centre (CTC) as part of this year’s Act Up Festival.

The class is devising a unique piece of theatre in the comedy genre as part of their final assessment. Both Ali and Jena led a variety of workshops which focused on ensemble work and bringing initial concepts to life through guided improvisation. Students were challenged when working in different groups to bring ideas to life, exploring the space to create interpretative images for the audience. Students also explored how quickly they can change roles from audience to director when working with their peers.

The class is commended on their courage and flexibility to accept all challenges and experiences offered over the two workshops. Chookas!
