Easter Art collaboration Music, Visual Art and Drama students were part of a powerful and moving cross-disciplinary performance at the College’s Easter Liturgy celebrated on Holy Thursday in front of the whole school. Narrated by Year 11 student Riley Faulds, the presentation followed the story of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, with main characters represented by the voices of Matthew Patron, Lachlan Hinton and College Chaplain Fr Tony Maher. The spoken delivery was interspersed with Music students Tyler Davies on guitar, and Andrew Armstrong and Emmanuel Terzoudis-Lumsden singing a deep and mesmorising chant in the tradition of the Taizé community in France, which uses repetitive phrases drawn from the Scriptures to encourage reflection and meditation. Throughout the performance, Visual Art students Yusef Hourani and Jack Johnson painted a portrait of Christ, which was concluded with a bold slash of red paint that dripped down the finished canvas. The simple but dramatic production was the brainwave of CBC’s outgoing Liturgies and Retreats Coordinator, Mrs Darlene McGoorty, and involved a collaborative effort from Head of Arts Mr Shane Mancuso, Choir teacher Mrs Emma Tandy and Visual Art teacher Ms Zoe Francis.
