We are so excited to share with the friends and families of the Youth
Theatre classes a physical theatre play called Perspectives.
Our high
school students have been hard at work learning the techniques used in physical
theatre, understanding the genre and bringing to life this piece.
Actors will be dressed in black; they will use broomsticks which are
transformed into a number of different props.
This play requires the optimal use of both body and voice. A challenge
our students are accepting boldly.
Physical theatre is a type of
theatrical performance which emphasises physical expression as the primary
conveyor of dramatic meaning.
It goes beyond the narrative, incorporating physical and visual
elements on a level at least equal to verbal elements. It is, however,
more than simply abstract movement – it includes some element of character,
narrative, relationships and interaction between the performers.
Perspectives will be performed by all Youth Theatre classes this year.
We hope to see you all there.
