Secondary school students can look forward to letting their creative juices flow with an exciting drama programme organised by Julia Gabriel Centre for Learning during the June school holidays.
Especially for students with a passion for photography, fashion, role-play, drama and literature, Romeo In A Sequined Glove: A Metamorphosis gives students from Secondary 1 to 5, the chance to take part in their very own ‘reality’ production.
Over five days, students will work in teams to create an original performance based on a selected scene from a recognised play. Students will explore the text, characters and plot to create their own interpretation, relevant to a young contemporary Singaporean audience.
As no performance is complete without costumes, the programme includes a group excursion to Arab Street*, where students will be given a limited time and budget to source and purchase  material to design and create their costumes. To help  publicise their production,  each team will  also develop promotional  material as well as coordinate a photography shoot outside the studio.
At the end of the week, students will perform to an invited audience and take home a journal  of their experiences.
