Tanglin Trust School Art Events - Term 2 2020/21 Drama, Music, Art & Design, and Film
THE ARTS IN 2021 Local restrictions relating to COVID-19 have naturally impacted Tanglin’s usual programme of Arts events this year, however creativity is continuing to flourish across the school. In this Term 2 Arts Calendar are a number of planned events we hope will be widely enjoyed, however whether these will take place in front of a “live� audience or via virtual means is yet to be confirmed. At the time of writing, the rules that relate to live performance are still under consideration and for this reason, we advise all members of our community to regularly check the latest school communications for updates on the events featured here. The show must go on!
TERM 2 Titus Andronicus Tanglin’s Key Stage 4 and 5 students will perform an abridged version of Shakespeare’s first tragedy in modern dress and on a traverse stage, giving its audience opposing views of the action. The infamously challenging play follows the rise and fall of the eponymous, fictional Roman general and poses questions about honour, revenge and what it means to be “civilised”. Content Warning: Titus Andronicus contains themes of physical and sexual violence, and is therefore not suitable for a younger audience. Date: Wednesday, 20 January – Thursday, 21 January Time: 5pm Location: The Berrick Hall
Junior Young Musicians in Concert This inspiring event, featuring solo performers playing a variety of instruments, aims to showcase the exceptional talents of our Junior musicians. Please see the latest school communications for venue information. Date: Wednesday, 27 January Time: 6pm Location: The Berrick Hall
Senior Dance Showcase: Dancing Through the Darkness This student-led showcase will be comprised of around 50 young performers and will explore the idea of dance as a beacon of hope during challenging times. Its Year 13 organisers explain: “Many people are struggling to find their joy due to the impact of COVID-19; it has created feelings of uncertainty across the world, and forcibly separated families and communities. We hope this showcase will be a way to bring people together and showcase the incredible talent that exists at Tanglin.� Recording released: Tuesday, 2 February Location: The Berrick Hall
