TYA: The end of an era...(part 2)

This week was the end of the term showcase and a celebration of 5 years of TYA. It was also a final farewell to two leaders, Sian and, well, me! It began with a quick workshop to finalise current pieces of work for the show, and a couple of run-throughs for the musical theatre group. The students then put together an opening on the show, creating tableaux based on the theme of 'memories'.

The final show was fantastic, opening with the film below, and with a selection of work from the past 5 years and some students even wrote pieces especially for the show in smaller groups. The pieces that they'd been working on this last term were excellent, showing a complete variety of characters and even though their starting points were similar, all of the groups had come up with something completely different. Some groups had put together films to enhance their pieces and these were shown along with their work. It was a great day, even if it did become emotional towards the end!

Thanks go to the students for all their hard work over the past term!
