Burnage Media Arts College - Manchester UK

Students Works

The boys involved were fantastic on stage, All their hard work and dedication paid off on the night. The group performed an abridged version of Shakespeare's Richard III and busily cast and produced their play far over five months. In order to meet this exciting challenge, the performers benefited from an in-school drama workshop by the award-winning Drama Theatre Group. Drama provides specialised workshops for young people in a positive educational context, while developing their creativity. The workshops proved invaluable to the students' acting abilities and their self-confidence They helped guide the performers through auditions, rehearsals and the excitement of public performance This was especially important as it was the first time the students had performed outside the school. On the day, the Burnage Media Arts College group performed alongside three other schools and were supported by a professional stage crew, with the play going through the normal theatrical procedures of both full technical and dress rehearsals. Alison Boyd, Head of Drama, said: "The boys involved were fantastic on stage, All their hard work and dedication paid off on the night. "
