      VERSTAND Director

      Verstand was a devised performance based piece that borrowed from styles of Physical Theatre, Theatre of Cruelty and Butoh. The piece delivered to its audience a piece of theatre that was both confronting and insightful.

      Yet again, I have had an awesome chance to work with the minds of our future to create an exceptional piece of theatre at Canberra Grammar School. The Crucible is one of those plays that is a staple for every school to stage at least once. This play was chosen to push our young creative artists; to ask them to question the ideas in the text and share their artistic direction throughout the piece. All actors were all heavily invested in crafting the many of the major moments from the text. Again, as a teacher I had the wonderful joy of guiding sublime young people through this development of Miller's masterpiece but also being supported by them throughout the production as well.#cgs #creative #confident #canberragrammarschool @canberragrammarschool Show less
