GHS Drama

Thank you to @captheatres for our backstage tour before the summer - learning about the history of the Festival Theatre, parts of a theatre building, roles in the performing arts industry and theatre terminology.

Booking is open for @lyceumedinburgh 18-25s Young Ensemble Training Course which has been designed as an alternative training opportunity for those who are looking to continue to develop their skills buff.ly/4e4RoSl (deadline - 24 Sep 2024)

So proud of our Seniors who completed @edfringe work experience with @ThePleasance this month - they’ve grown in confidence, learned new skills, experienced a diverse range of shows and made new friends! Thank you to Candida Alderson for providing this opportunity 🙏

Thank you to @edintfest for inviting us to this afternoon’s Schools’ performance of The Outrun as part of their Discover Theatre programme. The post-show Q&A with the Creative Team was also highly interesting.

#VL at @Summerhallery @painesplough was brilliant - hilarious but also thought-provoking and there will be lots for us to discuss around themes of teenage pressures and ideas of masculinity. Added bonus: pupils experiencing theatre in the round staging 👍

Enjoyed the Ghost Bus Tour! Edinburgh’s history told in an animated (and gruesome) way! #edfringe 👻

Waiting on the Ghost Bus Tour to start…👻 #edfringe

S3 Drama began in June with #edfringe project. The class learned about the origins and values of the festival. We also researched the shows, learning how to navigate the website. Everyone had to select their favourite Fringe event and create a presentation to win the class vote.

Highly recommend #edfringe show #EverybodysTalkingAboutJamie 👠 by @FCTCompany starring our former pupil, Sam. Entertaining and emotional production by a talented young cast and live band - I pretty much sobbed throughout Act 2 😭 Sam is phenomenal - proud day ☺️

So grateful for my school teachers coming along and supporting me after I left🥹💙👠

Well done to our N5 Drama students for completing their performance assessments this week! 👏

Thank you to @ScreenEdinburgh for our HETV Inspire presentation and workshop today - very informative, particularly about the wide variety of different job roles and pathways in the High-End TV Drama production industry #DYW

What a wonderful group of pupil volunteers we had supporting Expressive Arts Faculty at tonight’s P5/6/7 Open Evening. Thank you for giving up your time and being such excellent ambassadors for the school ⭐️

Best of luck to former pupil, Charlie Lusted, who begins her PGDE Drama today. Charlie will make a fantastic teacher! Very proud ☺️

Our third @edfringe trip was @gurududu - which is now becoming an annual highlight for @GracemountHigh ! Everyone had the best time and wants to do it again next year! 🕺 #edfringe @EdFringeSociety

Our third @edfringe trip was today. But the group did a bit of celeb-spotting first… #tiktokstar

First time at the theatre for one of our pupils today: “I enjoyed it, I liked the live performance and being part of an audience and it was funny. I’d go to the theatre again, definitely for a comedy!” 😍🎭 @edfringe #edfringe @traversetheatre #SeanandDaro

Fringe Sponsored Schools Project starts today for @GracemountHigh! First show for us was #SeanandDaro at @traversetheatre - “I really liked the Scottish humour and Scottish voices onstage”, “The actors were funny”, “A nice set”, “Entertaining!” @edfringe #edfringe

S3 Drama class have been learning about @edfringe and are a selected group to participate in the Fringe Sponsored Schools programme this August. They’ve been researching shows and have delivered presentations today to pitch their trip suggestion to the class. Voting tomorrow!
