Darfield High School joined with various Canterbury Schools at Horncastle Arena on Tuesday July 31st for the new Showquest competition. Showquest is a performing arts platform for schools, consisting of a nationwide series of events to showcase music, drama and dance. Students must create, produce and perform an original theatrical production consisting of student-designed and constructed costumes and p r o p s, p r e s e n t ed i n a choreographed, themed minispectacular. These will also feature audio tracks, optional video tracks, themes, choreography, dance, and lighting. Darfield High School were competing for the overall winners award, plus a variety of category awards. They performed outstandingly emerging with the overall winner’s award, plus category awards for performance, choreography, theme, drama and design. The theme chosen by Darfield was that of Stoneman Douglas High School. This is the American school where the shooting that killed seventeen students and staff, and injured seventeen others, took place. DHS students Aeryn McMillan and Jemma Dalley who were
Jemma Dalley and Aeryn McMillan with all the awards DHS won. instrumental in suggesting and coordinating this theme spoke about their choice with passion. “We wanted to show that we supported and felt for the people affected by this shooting,” they said. The pair felt strongly about this theme as the students involved were similar in age to they th e m se lv e s. T h ey a l so commented that events such as the Stone man Doug la s Shooting affect people all over the world, not just those directly caught up in the episode. The DHS Showquest group contained sixty nine dancers
and a support crew of fifteen, from years 7 - 13. The group put in many hours of rehearsal along with a considerable amount of time and planning before their performance was stage-ready. Costumes that were effective, simple and able to be merged between characters brought more than a few headaches to the DHS Showquest team. They managed to present a simplicity of design that enabled the audience to clearly see the definition between characters, while not encumbering those on stage with difficult and unwieldy changes.
Even after their performance the group were unsure how they had placed in the categories. This was the inaugural Showquest and Aeryn and Jemma were aware that they were going into the unknown. However DHS pulled out all the stops and gave an amazing performance. “We were rapt with how it all went,” the pair said. “Everyone gave it their very best. The dancers were amazing and made the performance look professional and effortless.” Check out the Showquest Facebook page to view Darfield’s winning performance.
