It’s been a vibrant start to the year in drama, with students enthusiastically embracing a range of exciting performance opportunities.
Drama Academy is our extension programme for dedicated drama students, designed to challenge and extend their theatre skills beyond the classroom. This term, students are preparing for the regional festival of the Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand (SGCNZ), where they will perform scenes from Macbeth, as well as student-directed performances of Much Ado About Nothing and Measure for Measure. The Auckland North Festival will be held at Carmel College on the evening of Friday 27 March and the morning of Saturday 28 March.
Our Wednesday lunchtimes Theatresports club is open to all students and focuses on fun, fast-paced improvisation games that build confidence, creativity, and teamwork. Alongside this, our competitive team is training on Wednesday afternoons for upcoming interschool events, with specialist workshops scheduled to further refine their improvisation and performance skills.
