Drama students quiz the experts

Worcester Editorial 19th Mar, 2015 Updated: 19th Oct, 2016   0

STUDENTS delved into the world of drama and theatre when a group of industry experts visited their school.

Bishop Perowne C of E College pupils took part in the Living History project run by Justin Hughes from the records and archives department based in The Hive.

The Year Eight performing art students improved their interview techniques by questioning Rachel Savage, artistic director of Vamos Theatre Company, Charlotte Gregory, general manager of Vamos Theatre Company and Chris Jaeger, chief executive of Worcester Live at The Swan Theatre.

They also interviewed their former art teacher Ann Hasnip as she has been involved drama and arts in the area for many years.




John Plant, assistant head and head of performing arts, said: “This has been an exciting project during which all of the students have learnt new skills and developed a deep understanding of our local heritage in theatre and the arts. It is hoped that it will also be a starting point for much bigger projects in the future.

“We offer a huge thank you to Justin Hughes for making this project possible and to all of our guests who gave up their time to visit college and to share their experiences with our students.”
