Year 6 Prepare for Romeo & Juliet Performance
Following the Entrance Exam, Year 6 girls have been working hard in preparation for their forthcoming production of Romeo and Juliet.
After researching costume designs for productions of Romeo and Juliet, the girls each designed and annotated their own costume designs for the main characters. They had to consider characterisation, style and fabric choices. Ideas were shared, which culminated in the creation of life-sized costumes for display.
Pupils also produced mood boards and designed and created unique masks for the Capulet’s Masquerade. Other work included character analysis, studying themes and symbols in the play, investigating Shakespeare’s life and exploring his use of language.
After a busy few days of auditions and preparations, our talented Year 6 now have the challenge of learning their lines, perfecting their dances whilst constructing props and scenery! In addition, a group of girls will be working with a director to produce a film documenting the process of making this special performance.
The performance and film premier will take place at MTGS Centenary Hall, Thursday 9th February, 2017 at 4.30pm.
