MANmade Dance Project

The boy's only dance project has started and we will be keeping track of it over on the MANmade tab of the arts blog. We are in the process of loading some short clips of the boys in rehearsals and in their workshops so stay tuned!

 

In January 2013 our fantastic group will head over to South Hill Park Arts Centre in Bracknell to perform their innovative dance piece alongside other schools. If you want to be there to support them please click HERE for more information on tickets.

Puppet Craft Come To Yateley School!

On Saturday Puppet Craft came to Yateley School to perform their show 'Circle of Tales'.
The show was a big hit amongst the adults and children (and teachers!) who came along to see it. All the puppets are hand crafted in wood by the Artistic Director, John Roberts and the show is performed by just two puppeteers and one musician. One of the puppeteers, Libby, is an ex-student of Yateley School and greatly enjoyed coming back to the school to showcase the work she has been doing since she left us.

Puppet Craft are just one of many events and shows we are hoping to bring to the school so please keep your eyes peeled for poster and advertising for future event, it would be great to see you there!

If you have any ideas for events, performances or workshops you would like to see at Yateley School at weekends or in the evenings please contact us: artsblog@yateley.hants.sch.uk.

Lift Off Festival 2013

LABAN Study Day!

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!’
