House Drama Competition
With captivating scripts and engaging performances, 韩国AV directors and dramatists have been filming all over campus this week, delving into the timeless complexities of the human experience to create videos for the upcoming House Drama Competition.
The 2023 theme is Greek mythology, with each House allotted a myth to re-interpret for a young, modern audience. The process began in Term 4 last year, and the students continue to work tirelessly on every aspect of film production.
The learning opportunities arising from the competition are proving enormous. Not only have the students tackled creative challenges such as script writing, scene building, character development, acting, producing, and directing; but they have also thrown themselves into logistical tasks such as risk assessments, scheduling, and audition planning, along with keeping tabs on reams of emails.
All that remains is to see the results come judging day!
