KINGSWOOD IN FOCUS 2020-21 | CREATIVE ARTS
DR AMA Cut short as it was in the Spring/ Summer of 2020, the academic year got off to a shaky start in September 2021.
Y
ear 13 had not been able to complete their devised assessments as they would normally have done in the Summer term so getting those underway was the first priority. The group chose to work in the style of newly appointed practitioner ‘The Paper Birds’ – a theatre company specialising in issue based verbatim work who have visited Kingswood a number of times previously so with whom the students were familiar.
Thankfully, Year 13 were already sick of Covid so not too keen on incorporating anything relating to the pandemic into their work and settled on the issue of phone scamming. The resulting piece, performed in an empty space due to strict bubble regulations, was brilliantly lit by budding lighting designer Sam Bernstein. Sam is off to Guildhall to study lighting design having turned down many other prestigious Drama schools and we are sure that he has a bright future ahead!
