Newsle er This Week’s Events:
MEMORIA by Year 11 BTEC PERFORMING ARTS The Year 11 BTEC Performing Arts Group performed their Final Piece to an audience on 2 evenings, last week. The 25 minute play was called ‘Memoria’, (La n for memory) and was an original piece created by the group. It told the story of a woman looking back over her troubled life from the 50’s through to the eve of the millennium. The group had to organise the story, research, script, rehearsals, publicity, costumes, set, props, ligh ng and sound. It was a big team effort with everyone having to work together to make it successful. Those that saw it witnessed a very moving and though ul play, which included 2 dance pieces, performed and choreographed by Kerri Briggs. Well done everyone! “The hardest thing was ge ng ourselves organised, it really prepares you for later” “We had to support each other, especially when we were feeling red or unwell; to get it all finished on me was a challenge. That taught me a lot about the group and about myself” The group: Kerri Briggs, Holly Hall, Josh Perre , Estelle Sanders, Mollie Stroulger, Jade Sturgeon, Paige Whitaker and Eden Wye. Bloodhound (Fareham College) We got a 3rd place in the Kit Car Challenge – Morrigan Linnay and Natashia Simpson achieved a run of 7.3m with their balloon powered car.
