Take Over

Come to GPAC and let your students Take Over the Blakiston Drama Theatre. Let us help along the way as students create a piece of theatre, produce it and perform to a live audience. Students from years 9 to 12 learn about all areas of production including performance, sound, lighting and stage management.
Take Over includes:

Wise Up Day
These practical demonstrations are designed to build awareness of and skills in the areas of sound, lighting, performance and stage management. Participants also take part in a workshop to help develop their own performance piece.

Skills Day
Technical crew learn stage management, lighting design and equipment use while performers work with a drama coach to develop their performance skills, as well as participating in a workshop on self-devised work.

Rehearsals
Students take over the Blakiston Drama Theatre for a technical rehearsal and run-through of their performance.

Performances
All schools participate in a matinee performance while selected schools are invited to present an evening performance of their work.

All schools are encouraged to bring students, family and friends to watch the performances.
