Barbreck Drama 2022

This year has been a wonderful opportunity for our Barbreck girls to explore their drama skills.

Our large co-curricular groups were both very excited to present their works in our new performing arts space, The Jamie and Rebecca Gray Theatre. The Year 4 Perform Program staged their self-devised Spooky Musical at the end of Term 2, which highlighted the power of friendship to overcome ‘monsters’ in your life. In Term 3, the Year 3 Stage Skills performers presented the tale of Peter Rabbit to an appreciative audience, complete with virtual backgrounds, costumes and narrators.

Speech and Drama students in Years 5 & 6 relished the opportunity to compete in both the Eisteddfod by the Bay and the SDTAV Eisteddfod this year, with some exceptional results.

Speech and Drama lessons are a weekly co-curricular offering that follow the Trinity College London Syllabus to prepare for graded exams at the end of each year. Performing in these Eisteddfods assisted students with their confidence and expressive skills by engaging with a variety of forms including poetry, prose and play extracts in a range of styles from different periods.

There have been some wonderful performances this year, and we look forward to staging our Years 5 & 6 Musical in 2023.
