Hosted by internationally acclaimed arts company

Students from secondary schools on the Island were given the chance to experience a physical theatre workshop. 

It was hosted by one of the UK's most innovative internationally acclaimed theatre companies - Frantic Theatre - and held in King William's College. 

They were taught blending, movement, emotion and storytelling. 

The company also hosted an evening workshop for members of the island community. 

Lead Drama Teacher at KWC, Lauren Molyneux, says having the group work directly with the students was 'a truly inspirational experience'. 

"It was wonderful to see our young performers stepping out of their comfort zones and creating original and engaging theatre together. 

"It was also fantastic to see so many students from our island schools coming together to enjoy the experience.” 

The session also allowed them to learn professional techniques used in the industry.

KWC Year 13 student Jackson described it as amazing:

"The workshop helped me understand how I can use my physicality and my body to express emotions and tell a story, as well as the importance of developing a sense of trust between you and your fellow performers.”
