EASTER BREAK!!

Hi All,

Hope you are enjoying your freedom!

Well done again for the great shows - we are ploughing through your grades and feedback for the practical element, don't forget to think about what themes you will address in the infographic which we will be making once you come back for the summer term - and make sure that you reference the assessment criteria on the brief for this!

You will also need to get your unit 2b essays ready to hand in on Blackboard for Friday the 17th April, no later than 1600h.

We are looking forward to all the great new work you'll be making for your unit 6 projects, and of course there is the second year Fringe performance ( as well as all the other great stuff on in Brighton) to eagerly anticipate!

Keep an eye on Worthing theatre's programme which has some good stuff coming - particularly from Vamos, and Rhum & Clay in April.

All the best,

Lisa & Vanessa

Show reviews from audience members

From the matinee performance, this comment from the Head of Department:

Great devising, fantastic costumes and make-up and set and lighting .

Thanks to all the students please.

From the first evening performance, this comment from an audience member:

If I tried to sum up this production in a single word it would have to be Metamorphosis. 

The theatre space is transformed into the sky and trees, then an office, then a nightclub in Ibiza and back again with an inventive use of set, lighting and props. 

The cast are people, made it be birds, observing people and people observing birds. Who start as squawking running and dancing and slowly changing to more conventional means of communication both verbal and written text. Reflecting on the circle of life, the natural and man made constraints that restrict our freedoms and those of the caged birds. The make up was stunning and the costumes were inventive with layered like plumage. 

Theatre gives you this freedom to be someone or something else to invent and reinvent your character and the views and emotions of those watching.

Rara Avis was in fact a rare bird in itself Rare, beautiful, original and made me stop and stare.

Well done

Well done all, really enjoyed tonight's show. I'm really sorry can't watch the other two performances, would have loved to. Some lovely work and that ending still ringing in my ears.

Have a brilliant time tomorrow
