PERFORMING ARTS TECHNOLOGY

This year we had the wonderful opportunity of being asked to provide the set and props for a local school holiday programme provider. This gave the Performing Arts Technology class a truly authentic assessment and client to work for.

Every term the class is given a new brief with a theme for the upcoming holidays and the students are tasked with having to create a world for the young children to immerse themselves in when they walk through those doors. The students have a budget to work to, physical and logistical requirements that must be met. It has been wonderful to see them discover these hurdles and find a way around them so that the final product is always outstanding. This year we have completed Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz themes. We are currently putting the finishing touches on our Toy Story themed items ready for the summer holidays.
