Arts Wrap Up

It’s been a busy week in The Arts, full of excitement and learning. Included in the week was our launch of the production, auditions and workshops, and a drama excursion for the Year 11 and 12 Drama and Theatre Studies class.

Drama and Theatre Studies Excursion

On Wednesday 26 March, the Year 10,11,12 Drama and Theatre Studies students went on a excursion to see the Top Class Theatre Studies and Drama Monologues from 2024, at the Melbourne Recital Centre. Overall, we watched 18 performances, including Charli Shalder’s monologue, a student from Sacred Heart College class of 2024. She did an amazing performance, and we were very happy to be able to congratulate her afterwards.

We enjoyed some very funny performances that included song and dance, as well as more serious ones that addressed some very important issues, but we found them all very interesting.

We received some tips and advice from the previous Year 12s, and watching them perform gave us some good ideas on how we can inprove our performances over the next two years.

Overall we really enjoyed the day out, and congratulate all who performed.

School Production- 'As you like it'

Recently the school launched its production for this year which will be 'As you like it' by William Shakespeare, reimagined in the early 1970s.  The SHC Production will feature a live rock band providing a soundtrack of music from the late 60s early 70’s, to Shakespeare's classic comedy. We had fantastic attendance for the auditions, with many people enthusiastic about the play, and acting in general. We also had our external director, Kellie, in attendance who gave us some tips and tricks to help improve our dialogues, which we appreciated and put into action. We are looking forward to the cast list which should be announced today.

Drama Llamas

We also started 'Drama Llamas' a couple weeks ago and there was great attendance for the first event.  We plan to continue playing improvisation games, and commence working on some ensembles which we hope to perform later in the year.
