@GISDepSocial Would have loved to see this Nourhan! Bravo!

After 3 months of volunteering on a weekly basis to support the evening shows, I was ecstatic to be given the opportunity to perform tonight!! Found out an hour before the show started...a truly improvised performance in front a live audience. #theatre #improv #PursueYourDreams

Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures! #Quarantine #MYPDrama

Grade 5 ended the year with a bang! Congratulations to all performers who displayed incredible teamwork skills as they performed 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' with such enthusiasm and passion. Online learning did not stop them! #PYPDrama #WeRGIS

Our MYP Grade 7 students performing 'Scenes from a Quarantine', exploring a very relatable topic right now. It was a lot of fun performing these monologues and duologues online and the roles were portrayed so well! #MYPdrama #WeRGIS

@GollyOlsen Cheers Grant! Always a pleasure teaching Zinzan. I hope you, Justine and the boys are keeping well!

I was blown away by my G9 drama students today as they performed their first ever online production. You should all be extremely proud of yourselves. You demonstrated what it means to be truly courageous and open-minded learners. Congratulations! #proudteacher #MYPDrama #WeRGIS

@nnourhan_fouad It was my absolute pleasure working on this project with such a fantastic group!

Thank you so much Ms. Emma for guiding us through this journey and making this performance possible! Performing ‘Hoodie’ online was so much fun; and is definitely one of the highlights of this year I also wanna give a special thanks to our audience for coming and supporting us!

@JRafaelAngelM @GIS_Gems Thank you for being part of our audience!

Ms @EmmaTaaffe4 and her MYP actors demonstrated the power of relationships and trust. Their virtual performance of Hoodie confirmed my love for the MYP. ¡Felicitaciones! #WeRGIS @GIS_Gems

@LHole81 @GIS_Gems Thank you for attending and being part of our audience!

I have just witnessed something special!! @EmmaTaaffe4 what you produced with @GIS_Gems grade 9 drama class during remote learning is first class. A dramatic performance presented completely on google meet and it captured my attention completely. #ProudPrincipal #WeRGIS

@GISDepHeadAcad @JRafaelAngelM Wow Akshita! I am thrilled to finally watch this... and intrigued to see how the plot develops in the next chapters. I love your director's notes at the end - a nice touch. Keep up the good work.

Couldn't have done it any better than the help of my supportive G10 Personal Project supervisor Ms @EmmaTaaffe4 and Mr @JRafaelAngelM 😄😊Thank you for always guiding me 😅👍

@Missoowl Love this!

#Gr2C created kindness art to help us through tough times. Kalyani goes above & beyond - she argues, that it's BRAVERY we need to fight this pandemic, not kindness. Check our her persuasive speech! #WeRGIS

That moment when two 'Grandmas' from the script show up unannounced to your Grade 6 class!! Such a fun impromptu improv session to begin the lesson! #fullofsurprises #remotelearning #WeRGIS

Remote learning in Drama is so much fun! In G9, we have decided to try performing our play remotely. No stage? No problem! This is your spotlight! Cameras on... 3, 2, 1...ACTION! #WeRGIS #remotelearning #MYPDrama

Padlet is a wonderful tool to use as a means for reflection and sharing ideas... and it's all in one place! My G9 students have reflected on their recent performances and I have especially enjoyed reading their ideas of how we could move forward with this unit. #WeRGIS #MYPDrama

HAT DAY in Grade 7 putting a smile on all of our faces #WeRGIS #HATDAY

My Gr.9 students have really impressed me this week. Remote learning has given them more freedom of creative expression (without pressure of a live audience). As a result I have seen students exceed expectations and bring their creativity to the next level. #proudteacher #WeRGIS

Check out our awesome new t-shirts! #AliceinWonderlandatGIS #WeRGIS

@Carolinerenaud8 Thank you Caroline. Hope you are doing great!

@EmmaTaaffe4 Amazing! Awesome participation! Way to go teach!

Wonderful to see these #MimeArtists perform in Grade 7C today. #creativethinking #MYPDrama #IBDrama #WeRGIS

Grade 7 students being mime artists and learning the importance of the finer details like the size, shape and weight of imaginary objects to ensure the message is conveyed clearly to an audience. Great work! #mime #MYPDrama #WeRGIS
