Open-air theatre
Our performing arts students
brought theatre to life with their outdoor
promenade performance in beautiful Lily Hill Park.
Theatre lovers enjoyed selected monologues
from classic plays such as As You Like It and
Trojan Women.
The performers, a group called
‘Dare2Dream’ met their audience outside The
Running Horse, and then led them to different parts of the park for
each scene.
Ben Lewi,
Performing arts lecturer, said:
“We had great receptions from
all our audiences and many were surprised by the hidden
beauty of Bracknell. Despite the England match on Friday
night we had a good turnout, and also for the rest of the
performances. As a result we’re hoping to do something
bigger and better still next year.
“The students have now had great experience of
outdoor performance and tailoring their acting to specific sites;
something even the professionals can struggle
with.”
