The theatre department were approached by Emilie Brothers, Head of Drama at Stanley Technical High School, Croydon to support her Christmas Show. This support came in the form of Year 13 theatre students working as assistant directors/workshop leaders alongside Emilie in the preparation and rehearsal of this their show.
The piece was a pantomime with a social conscience exploring ‘green’ issues within the genre and style of pantomime.
The first week of the partnership involved the student from Stanley Tech attending a workshop at The Brit School led by Simon Stephens and Imogen Brodie of the theatre department supported by a number of year 13 theatre students.
Over the next five weeks the Brit School students supported the Stanley rehearsals every Friday afternoon culminating in the performance of the show on Wednesday 13th December at St Mary Magdalene’s Church in Addiscombe.
The relationship with Stanley and the drama department particularly, will hopefully continue and develop, initially with the attendance of the Stanley students at performances and workshops during the Brit School Theatre department’s Common Ground season.
