Project information: Our aim is to create a high quality, professional, physical theatre installation to explore contemporary forms of theatre with Year 11 to 13 NCEA Drama students. Learners will engage in storytelling from their own experiences, and practically express their unique point of view using the themes of ‘Connection and Disconnection’. Through the process of hui, workshops to introduce specialist physical theatre skills, and exploration of the creatives specialist devising process, we will develop an original performance that will then be shared with the community and filmed.
Learners will create site-specific, movement installations reflecting their environment, as well as their own unique viewpoint of being youth in Rolleston College in 2021. Learners will create and devise contemporary, image-based theatre and through engaging in this process, support and enhance their wellbeing.
