A midsummer Night's Dream at Castle Bottom!

Two creative year 11 students, Joanne Archer and Emma Beetschen, collaborated on a stunning video, re-creating “Titania’s Lullaby” from Shakespeare’s mystical play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Emma worked on the music, using an array of instruments including a piano, a flute, a guitar and “any other instruments [she] could lay her hands on”. Joanne edited the final piece together, and both tried their hand at a spot of filming! The whole experience for the students was “very fun, and gave a different concept of the poem in the play.” It appears that through the wonderful mediums of filming, editing, and music the work of Shakespeare can be brilliantly performed and truly ‘teaches the soul to fly!’
