OW Jamie Saul Visits to Deliver Drama Workshop
Year 7 to 9 Drama Scholar and Enrichment students were lucky enough to take part in a workshop in School last week, hosted by Old Woodbridgian Jamie Saul. He created a fantastic session where participants were asked to explore the process of adaptation, and tasked with writing, rehearsing, and performing short scripts based on Lord of the Flies.
Working together, it was a thoroughly enjoyable workshop during which they collaborated and supported each other, being creative and having great fun!

“Working with Jamie was an amazing opportunity. He showed us a range of warm-ups and talked through each one.
The novel we were working on was Lord of the Flies by William Golding; it was a very interesting novel to adapt and perform, because although there are many serious moments, there are also lots of very funny ones – which helped release the tension.
I really enjoyed how Jamie sent us off in pairs and gave us different genres of performance, such as radio presenting, silent performance, or using the audience as a ‘jungle’.
As a Drama student at Woodbridge, this workshop has been an amazing opportunity to advance my skills in preparation for upcoming shows.”
