The Little Actors began this week by designing and decorating their very own Easter eggs. They then worked together in teams using body as prop to create shapes and objects.

After the warm up they finished the story of the wizard and the keys. Following the story around the space with props to help the imagination and also teacher in role, they then had to use some simple materials to make a time machine to get them home! They have really enjoyed following this story and being able to work together to solve the mystery. It has also allowed to them to develop their skills working in groups.

The older group began this week with pair work improvising different scenes in a restaurant, as well as adding some accents, which led to some entertaining moments!

The story of The Seal Wife then continued, where half of the group became the children and the other half the parents. With teacher in role, the children were told to ask their parents about stories of the sea, which became short improvised moments between the pairs. The children the went back to the school and told these stories back to the rest of the group, but exaggerated the details to show how myths and legends develop.

The students then went back into groups and were given a selection of materials and props, such as masks and lights, to create a dream of either the fisherman or the seal wife. They then performed these with lighting, music and projections of images, which was some fantastic work.
