Our Secondary Drama students recently had the opportunity to work with Box House Theatre, an award-winning company from the UK currently touring Asia with their acclaimed show Twisted Tales. This talented group of six young actors brought energy, creativity and passion into every session and their impact on our students has been truly remarkable.

Throughout the week, the Box House team led exciting workshops that challenged students to think differently about theatre and storytelling. Their unique performance style, Platform Theatre, involves performing entirely on a single mat; a restriction that encourages imaginative movement and inventive stagecraft. Students quickly embraced the challenge, creating bold, expressive scenes that showcased their teamwork, communication and creativity.

It was wonderful to see how engaged and inspired our students became. They grew in confidence, supported one another, and discovered new ways to tell stories through physical theatre. The Artistic Directors, Lewis Evans and Amy Fielding were full of praise for their motivation and talent, commenting on the enthusiasm and skill they brought to every workshop.

This collaboration was not just about learning new techniques; it was about coming together to create, to express, and to experience the joy that live theatre brings. For our students, it was a week filled with laughter, learning, and inspiration, a reminder that Drama truly nourishes the soul.
