Student Achievement
Students Perform at Drama Showcase
04 December
Within Performing Arts at Damascus College, it is in the environment of live theatre that the young performer is ultimately tested and rewarded. It is the beginning or the extension of performer confidence and experience. It is for this reason that events like this week’s Drama Showcase are so important.
The College’s regular program of showcases serve the specific purpose of publicly recognising and applauding the achievements of students within the department. This kind of event is different from a School Production in that it provides greater opportunity to display a wide range of students and their talents.
The selected work within last night’s public presentation was sourced from semester two performance tasks set within the classroom and from the College’s Drama Club program which operates at lunchtimes. On viewing these the Drama team felt that some of these pieces showed great potential and deserved a wider viewing than simply their classmates.
On display was a range of scripted pieces from Year 7-9 students, a Year 10 ensemble performance based on the issue of the living conditions and displacement of Australia's indigenous people, and three original solo performance pieces by Year 11, Unit 2 students.
The appreciative audience attending provided these talented students a wonderful opportunity to gain performance experience and hone their craft. Well done to all of these amazing students
