Year 12 Devised PieceThrough the Tunnel

Based on Doris Lessing’s coming of age short story and inspired by the style and methodology of Complicité, the Year 12 Drama group performed their A Level devised piece, “Through the Tunnel” to students and parents at the end of June.

Using a few chairs, a straw hat, a bucket of water and a conch, along with their ensemble and physical skills, students developed an inventive shared language of movement (in addition to their multiple spoken languages) to create beautiful and playful stage pictures of rock climbing and jumping, underwater swimming, a bazaar, a train and the evocative soundscape of a summer on the coast in Yugoslavia in 1974.
