YEAR 7 DRAMA SHOWCASE
Dracula Spectacula!
This year the Year 7 production was based on the 1897 classic, Dracula. Like all Year 7 productions Southwell has had in the past, each of the six Year 7 classes directed their own play with the help of their classroom teacher and our fantastic drama teacher - Mrs. Walker. Before we started to prepare for our production, we auditioned for parts in the play. Once the parts were announced, we used the script and the assistance of our teachers to give us a start.
We had to cooperate as we all had vastly different ideas, and combining them into one amazing play was hard. Each class had a completely different take on the Dracula play. Even though we were all given the same lines, it was easy to tell each class apart from the others. We added in lines so that each student would have something to say and
we also selected music and choreographed our own dances. This added to the overall theatrical experience for the audience watching. One of the components that made the experience even more valuable was that people who haven’t had main roles before got to have their time in the spotlight! In the end each class was extremely proud of the play they performed and we had a lot of fun!
