Art2264@MorissetPCYC Report- 15 March
On
March 15th, art2264@morissetPCYC
bought to us an event like no other. It was the hugely popular ‘Art2264 Theatre Expo’! Many talented
people came in to teach everybody how to express themselves through drama.
Drama workshops filled the evening as well as a sweet performance by Fiona’s Studio of Dance.
At
4:00pm we were very fortunate to have Sarah
Woods, a highly acclaimed actor, visit PCYC and gave a one-time only,
workshop on the fabulous Shakespeare.
Sarah was brilliant at educating the participants at the same time as having
loads fun. She got kids to step out of their comfort zone and find their inner
actors. One of the regular PCYC participants spoke very highly of Sarah Woods saying “It was great fun and
I learnt a lot at the same time!” At the end of the workshop Sarah Woods gave us a quick insight of
how she thought it went; “I thought it went very well and I was extremely happy
with the turnout”, Sarah said.
Following
Sarah Woods workshop was another drama workshop, facilitated
by Drama Karma. The Drama Karma director was Janine Sneddon. Janine (along with several of her senior
students) took the kids through a series of performances and interactive drama
activities. The participants thoroughly enjoyed watching the students perform
and there was lots of laughter erupting from their part of the room. It was
just as enjoyable watching the skits as it was joining in with the games. There
were some great, innovative and imaginative games, with the kids coming up with
some very creative ideas.
There
was a short break from the workshops when Fiona’s
Studio of Dance performed a short musical theatre piece they had been
working on from the musical “Annie”.
They performed “It’s a hard knock life”
which is a favourite of many from the musical “Annie”. They got into the piece by dressing up in rags and old
pyjamas with dirt smeared across some of their faces. They also used mops,
buckets and sponges as props to add to the choreography.
The
final workshop of the evening was run by Aleeta
Northey, a professional choreographer for the famous television show “So You Think You Can Dance?” We were
honoured to have her with us and everybody participating in the workshop came
out with a whole lot of new skills. Aleeta started with a couple of interesting
games that got the kids thinking on the spot with some amazing results.
While
all the drama workshops were in progress, to celebrate Easter Shelley Moses supplied art and craft materials for everybody to use to make
cute little Easter scenes. Some the children made some beautiful art works,
that when finished were put up on display. Some of the artworks included paper
flowers, chicken nests, trees and painted eggs.
Once
again the PCYC supplied some delicious treats to fill everybody’s hungry
stomachs. The food and drinks supplied by Busy
Baking included sausage rolls, vegetarian rolls, mini cheese quiches,
cup-cakes, cordial, tea and coffee.
The
combination of all these fantastic activities made yet another, unforgettable
night at Morisset PCYC. Next month should be really huge, with the ‘Art2264 YOUTH
WEEK Dance Expo’ and ‘Blue Light Disco’ on Friday 12 April- we can’t wait!

“We’ll
