Design and Drama Collaborate for ‘The Trial’ Programme Design
As rehearsals continue in Seckford Theatre throughout the week – and now at weekends – for November’s Sixth Form production of The Trial, we recently met with our Design students involved in collaborating with our Drama team on the programme design. With the designs taking shape for our bespoke programme, it was great to talk to Year 12’s Selena and Laura about their thoughts on progress so far, as well as how it feels to be working on such an exciting project.
Selena:
“This is another great opportunity working with the Drama and Design Departments. After learning more about the plot of the play, we were given the chance to think outside the box, so each design ends up with different elements included, from different people. I truly enjoy the process of producing these pieces and working on this drama collaboration again.”
Laura:
“I’m really drawn towards these Drama and Graphics collaborations, as we are always given a lot of creative freedom when given a brief, making each design unique and personal – but we are also given a lot of support from both Drama and Design. It’s a fun way to explore more styles and different ideas I wouldn’t have thought of within the Design curriculum. It is also gratifying to see your own work on the programme as a finished product alongside everyone else’s work.”
As the finishing touches are put into place, we look forward to sharing the students’ final design with you very soon; in the meantime, tickets are now available from ticketsource.co.uk/woodbridge-school-drama/the-trial/e-gpedrqo for both performances of The Trial on Wednesday 19 and Thursday 20 November.
