Shakespeare Drama Club is by audition only. Auditions will be notified in the Weekly Note and via 5th and 6th Class teachers.
The club is run by Ms Claire Lilla, via audition for Years 5 & 6 only. Students will be required to perform a short Shakespeare Monologue (one they have already performed is fine) or a short poem from memory.
Ms Lilla will be looking for the following criteria:
- Clear diction and strong vocal projection
- Emotive expression of textual content via facial expression, gesture and intonation
- Dedication to excellence in the dramatic arts
- Positive behavioural conduct
The aim of the club is to perform at various events including: Sydney Eisteddfod; the State Shakespeare Festival; School Open Day. Students must be available on a Saturday and/or Sunday for these performances on the dates to be announced (usually 2-3 Sundays and/or Saturdays).
