This week, The Paper Birds theatre company came in to do a devising workshop with our Year 10 GCSE Drama students. The Paper Birds are a theatre company with a social and political agenda, and are recognised as UK leaders in devised verbatim theatre; taking complex, multi-faceted subjects and making them accessible for their audiences.
In their workshop, Year 10 learnt a variety of different performance techniques for creating devised work, including using speeches, interviews and movement to create scenes. This was a really useful day for students and it helped them kickstart their exam pieces that they will be performing in a few months’ time. A big thank you to The Paper Birds for an inspirational day, and to Year 10 for working so hard in such an intense day of rehearsals!
