ISTA

April saw four visiting schools from as far afield as Jakarta and Zurich, joining us to make drama for a weekend under the guidance of a team of professionals from The International School's Theatre Association.

Everyone enjoyed meeting new people, learing new skills, seeing Baku through new eyes and creating meaningful performance work. You have to take part in an ISTA festival to really understand how special it can be. Are you coming with us to the Eden Project next year?

Tha Arabian Nights

Well done to the thirty five members of our Secondary School who acted and sang their way through the Secondary School play last week. This was a true ensemble performance, where everyone had a vital role to play and all were deemed equally important. With no 'star vehicle' everyone was a star!

The Myth of Prometheus

M1A recreate the myth of Prometheus using freeze frame, or tableau. this is a dramatuc device which allows us to distill the action into a key moment so the audience can take stock of what is happening. It allows the actors to think about what is importnat in the scene they are working on and is a good tool for practicing shaping the image that we see on stage, as well as developing really good discipline as a performer. It's hard to stay still and look fierce without laughing!
