Reminder: A friendly reminder to communicate with your child about their extra-curricular classes in the morning. We have had cases where students are in car line or their designated pick up spot and have needed to be located before class starts. Please ensure any absences are sent to drama@redlands.nsw.edu or your child’s class tutor prior to the lesson.

Highlight of the Week: Junior School

Year 5 Acting: Today students explored the importance of creating clean and precise characters for scene work. They developed characters for multiple scenarios that required them to expel different audience emotions, reactions and involvement. They continued to focus on the elements of focus, movement, character and role.

Higlight of the Week: Secondary School 

Senior Acting Year 9-12: Acting is reacting. Year 9-12 Acting students have been developing their observation skills through a series of exercises inspired by Sanford Meisner of the Meisner Technique. These observation skills, combined with a connection to their impulses will enhance their ability to develop
a living, present character.
