We are thrilled to announce that our Year 9 and 10 Drama students are embarking on an exciting journey with Queensland Theatre's 2024 Scene Project! This collaborative endeavour promises an enriching experience that will not only hone their theatrical skills but also nurture their creativity and confidence.

Throughout this project, students will have the unique opportunity to work with an original script, Flowers in Antarctica, written by Wendy Mocke, a Papua New Guinean inter-disciplinary storyteller. Drawing inspiration from this script, they will explore their creativity, devising their own unique interpretation for a captivating performance.

This week, students worked with professionals from Queensland Theatre to delve into the intricacies of script analysis, character development, and stagecraft, gaining invaluable insights into the world of professional theatre.

One of the highlights of this project is the upcoming Outcome Day, where our students will showcase their hard work and talent at UniSQ in Toowoomba. Not only will they have the chance to perform their interpretations of the script, but they will also have the privilege of watching professional actors from Queensland Theatre bring the script to life on stage. This immersive experience will not only inspire our students but also provide them with a glimpse into the world of professional theatre production.

Participating in the Queensland Theatre's 2024 Scene Project offers a multitude of benefits for our students. It provides them with a platform to express themselves creatively, encourages collaboration and teamwork, and instils a sense of discipline and dedication. Moreover, it fosters a deep appreciation for the performing arts and cultivates essential skills such as communication, confidence, and resilience.

As we embark on this exciting journey, we are confident that our Year 9 and 10 Drama students will emerge as confident and empowered individuals, equipped with the skills and experiences that will serve them well in their future endeavours. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Queensland Theatre for this invaluable opportunity and look forward to witnessing the magic unfold on stage!
