This term, Mrs Irene Knauseder’s Year 10 Drama students explored the power of political theatre, bringing their learning to life in a meaningful way.
In collaboration with the Sustainability Learning Centre (SLC), and supported by a grant-funded initiative, they created and performed a powerful piece titled Not. For. Sale at our recent Senior School Assembly.
Centered on the issue of fast fashion, the performance was the result of research, creative collaboration and hands-on learning.
Students researched the environmental and social impacts of fast fashion, co-wrote the script and filmed original video content, learned choreography and devised scenes, and used repurposed clothing from the tip shop for props and costumes.
A huge thank you to Tullia Chung-Tilley from the SLC for her guidance and expertise throughout the project.
Looking ahead, the class is considering a clothes swap initiative to continue spreading the message of sustainability across our College community.
