Drama Workshop for Scholar and Enrichment Students
Last week, a Drama Scholarship and Enrichment workshop took place, hosted by Annie Eddington, a familiar face in School. Year 8’s Rebecca shared her experience of the workshop, during which Annie looked at language, interpretation, movement and many other aspects of Shakespeare’s work, focusing on this year’s Shakespeare on the Lawn, Love’s Labour’s Lost.
Year 8’s Rebecca
“It was an extraordinary experience to be selected to participate. Annie was an amazing leader; she guided us through the complex, colourful and captivating world of Shakespeare, where we delved deeper into scripts and scenes, broadening our vocabulary as well as our understanding of Shakespeare’s themes and language.
Not only is the play itself sensational, but the way we investigated the language and deeper meaning beneath a myriad of metaphors, alliteration, oxymorons, hyperbole, and countless other techniques, was fascinating.
We explored different aspects and perspectives, discussing character traits, whilst creating our own portrayals of different characters.
Overall, the workshop was wonderful, enhancing our understanding of Shakespeare, as well as our Drama and English skills.
