To be or not to be...

That was the question for our Te Aratai stars on the annual Shakespeare Night. Our focus for the evening was Hamlet. 

We focus on understanding the play and then performing it. We had a wonderful turnout and the audience was impressed with our performance skills. 

Year 10 has been working on bringing their Commedia Dell'Arte performances to the stage. 

This is a form of theatre that started in Italy. We create small skits called Lazzi that we perform and make half masks for. Here's a picture of the masks that learners made for the performance.
