Familiar Faces

We’ve seen some familiar faces around the Carramar campus lately, with some St Stephen’s Alumni returning to share their Drama expertise! Cameron Taylor (Duncraig Class of 2011) has spent time hosting workshops with our Years 7, 11 and 12 Drama students focussing on improvisation, clowning and performance skills. WAAPA graduate Daniel Dosek (Carramar Class of 2013) has also been working with the ATAR Drama students individually to refine their skills and guide them in their preparation for their Mock exams. Thanks for visiting!

Taking Centre Stage

Six St Stephen’s School students have been recognised as some of Western Australia’s finest young drama students by the prestigious Black Swan State Theatre Company. Carramar’s Mia Kanzaki (Year 12), Clara Searle, Jade Johannes, Jenna Lane, Joel Glick (Year 11) and Adam Snyman (Duncraig Year 10) were selected as six of only 30 students from around WA to take part in the Company’s intensive two-day Work Experience Program. Hear what the students had to say about their experience here: https://bit.ly/2s14hYJ

Antigone

Congratulations to the Year 11 and 12 Drama students on their production of Antigone by Sophocles.

The students each took on the task of directing a scene and a production role such as costume design, set design, researching the time period and/or lighting design. The students are studying the play as part of the ATAR Drama course, so this was a brilliant opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of the text.

A special mention to Elijah Thomas from Year 10 who took on a role in the production only weeks before opening night.

ANTIGONE

St Stephen’s School Carramar Year 11 and 12 Drama Students present Antigone – a tragedy written in the year 441 BCE. Based on the aftermath of a civil war, protagonist Antigone defies the law, buries her brother, and is caught. When Creon decrees she is to be punished, Antigone takes matters into her own hands.

ACT UP

Carramar Senior Drama students ventured into Perth’s cultural hub last week. They explored the Heath Ledger Exhibition: Life in Pictures at the Art Gallery of WA followed by a viewing of Mr Robot by the Barking Gecko Theatre Company. After the show, the group were lucky enough to have a private question and answer session with the show’s director Matt Edgerton and the cast and crew. What a coup!
