Following a consultation with the Junior Group where they all told us they wanted to create a performance that included Victorians, magic, aliens, space travel and dogs and that it should be set in modern day, different times in history and the future… we went away and scratched our heads and came up with the idea of creating a devised performance about Time Travel.
As with all good devising processes, the group explored many different aspects of time travel before coming together to write a poem that summed up their thoughts about Time Travel and splitting into small groups to create a small scenes to create their own time travelling scenes. We were visited by some extraordinary characters including a cyborg, space-travellers, a dragon, a fortune-teller, a cave-man. a dog, a time witch, the pop stars Brian May and Adele and more! Some scenes were comedic and hilarious, some dramatic and full of peril. What they all had in common was how well the scenes were crafted and how strong the performances were – we have been working all year on basic performance skills and it certainly paid off.
The Juniors also had two fantastic costume designers in the group that took the lead and made sure everyone looked the part for their show!
We are extremely proud of the members every single week, but even more so after they performed their hearts out for their families and friends!
