Paignton Community & Sports College
The Faculty of Creative & Expressive Arts is on tour...
A Whale Story
Paignton Community & Sports College’s Drama and Science Departments have collaborated to produce a touring performance based on marine life, “A Whale Story”.
The Theatre in Education piece includes a wide variety of inspiring Drama, Music and Dance, as well as live Science demonstrations and hands-on experiments, including audience participation. The piece has been directed and coordinated by Advanced Skills Teacher, Jessica Hunter, with Drama Teacher Wendy Caplan, and Science Teacher Kevin Mitchell. It is presented by Sixth Form Drama and Year 10 Science students, who are showing their Primary School audiences the links between creative expression and scientific thinking.
With vivid colours, beautiful puppets made by ROC Creative, and a tail to tell, the aim of the tour is to promote a love of the arts and science, as well as address the QCDA “Dimensions” initiative for cross-curricular and transitional creative projects, which will encourage engagement and commitment to learning. The project has been kindly funded by Torbay LA and Business Enterprise.
