Yesterday Division 14 took part in the Stagecoach Arts Umbrella workshop. The leader’s focus was on the 3 “C”‘s; communication, collaboration and connection. This was a drama lesson where most of our acting was using our bodies and our faces, rather than our words. All of the students were actively involved and had a great time becoming different humans, animals, objects and foods. Enjoy the pictures of our acting in action!
