Both groups at Nantwich began new themes this week. Nantwich Little Actors became the owners of a range of buildings on a high street including a hotel and café and put together short scenes showing the shops being inspected and their reactions to this. Staying in role for a long period of time is a challenge for the Little Actors, but they all do it fantastically! Their quick thinking allows for excellent scenes and some comedy moments when they out-think the adults! Through this work they develop performance skills that are crucial for any show.

After the success of the pantomime last week, the older actors began work on 'Fame'. The first workshop allowed them to develop a character and where the character's skills came from that allowed them to become famous.
To begin, all of the students took part in a chat-show in character, where they were all asked questions such as 'what, for you is the down-side of fame?' and had to quickly develop their characters by thinking about their influences and where they came from.
The students then worked in smaller groups to create tableaux of their characters as children, and where there was the first suggestion of them becoming famous. This produced some incredibly powerful images.
