Theatre Performances
HIGH SCHOOL
Ms Daphne Said - Art Department
It is undeniable that the most stressful moment for any Drama student and Drama teacher is the moment the audience are all seated, the house lights go off and suddenly the whole space is black. At that point everyone takes a deep breath and hopes for the best!
Will I remember all my lines? Will the student stand in the right space for the spotlight to get them? Where is my very important prop? Will they remember to move the chair for me? These are all the questions that pass through our minds at 200miles per hour. Then the music goes on, the lights fill the space and before we all know it - the performance that the students had been working on for 8 weeks go by like a flash.
A big round of applause and then we all breathe again! As a Drama teacher, this is also the moment when I feel so proud of all my students.
Every single one of them, gives their very best to present a performance that truly reflects all the work they have been doing.
