Our Year 9 students had an inspiring week with "Take the Lead," an employability program by @oldvictheatre. Although usually for Years 11–13, our younger students got to get involved too. Through theatre techniques and creative tasks, the workshop honed five crucial life and work skills: communication, self-management, self-confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving. Students were nudged to venture beyond their comfort zones, work with classmates, and assess their strengths in a lively and supportive setting. Experts from the Old Vic Theatre ran the first session in our newly updated drama studio - thirty Year 9 students spent two hours learning about directing, emotive line delivery, freeze-frame rehearsals, character analysis, and other director techniques, engaging with the play Mary Page Marlow, currently featuring Susan Sarandon at the Old Vic. Linden and Sophie praised the students' enthusiasm, focus, and joy; our students loved the experience and eagerly await the next workshop. We’re proud of our Year 9s and look forward to their continued growth in confidence and skills in future workshops. #TheOldVic #TheatreWorkshop #YouthEmpowerment #Year9 #DramaEducation #ErnestBevinAcademy #TakeTheLead #ConfidenceBuilding #FutureLeaders #CreativeLearning #ovmarypagemarlow #creativearts #drama #takethelead
