Some of our Sydney Arts Trip students and teachers were lucky enough to experience their ten seconds of fame while they attended a filming of the popular morning show at the Channel Ten studios on the 31st of May, 2018. Find below a recap of their whirlwind trip from our Curriculm Leader for The Arts, Nancy Larosa-Elliott.</strong><br></p><div><div><p>Our Year 12 Drama, Music, Film and Visual Art students donned their woolly jumpers as the great jumping kangaroo from QANTAS flew them into the heart of a much cooler climate, in exciting Sydney. The students and teachers spent the first day touring the sights of the harbour, learning about the history and culture of the Opera House, discovering contemporary art at the MCA and tuning into the interesting and staccato tunes of the Modern Music Ensemble at The Conservatorium of Music. We finished our cultural milieu with a splash of hilarity watching the musical hit Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. What a first day!<br></p><div><p> From there on in, students settled into more industry specific workshops and experiences. For Visual Art there was the Brett Whitely Studio, the Archibald at the National Gallery of Art, and an array of art exhibited for Sydney's Biennale of Art. Film students experienced the set of Channel Ten's Studio 10 and we all got our ten seconds of fame as we were filmed in the audience and given a mention by host and compere Sarah Harris. The students also got to film with a 'red' camera which is used for big time feature films, at the Academy of Film, Television and Theatre. <img src="/news-and-events/PublishingImages/Pages/sydney-arts-trip/Students%20at%20the%20Opera%20House.JPG" alt="Students at the Opera House.JPG" class="ms-rtePosition-2 ms-rteImage-2" style="margin:5px;width:394px;height:261px;" /><br></p></div></div></div><div><div><p>Our Drama students delved into the theatre of Brecht at the Australian Theatre for Young People, and then worked on their more serious acting persona's in a screen acting workshop at NIDA. Both Drama and Music students then 'shook what their mumma gave them' in a Musical Theatre workshop, not quite ready for the likes of Priscilla but a concerted effort. Music students also spent some time learning about electronic sound production at The Con and finished their musicality with a complicated Indonesian song using instruments from Bali called Gamelan. Of course, the lights and sights of VIVID also impressed us with colour and sound and very crowded spaces. It was an action packed adventure that left us all a little weary but full of appreciation for the wonderful and creative world that breathes through the guise of art. <br></p></div></div><div><p>A big thank you to the wonderful students on the trip who were a delight and made the work of the teachers that much easier. To the teachers who spent time away from home to make this trip what it is to our students, a massive, huge thank you! Without you we wouldn't have such an amazing trip. Thank you to Ms Kathy Burton, Ms Lisa Rachow and Mr James Brownlie. Also a special thanks to Leanne, Debby and our two Sue's in admin for all the work you do in the background. And to our parents, we thank you for your support of both your children and of the Arts. Life would have no colour without art. <br></p></div><div><p><br></p><p><br><br></p><br></div> | | | | |
