On Wednesday the school enjoyed a performance of The Hobbit.
After the performance ended, the year 6's were lucky enough to attain a back stage pass to meet the cast and see the work behind the scenes.
30 seconds. Did you know that is the time it takes the cast members have to change their costumes?
The scenery was created with canvases with non-cracking paint attached to clips so that they could be rolled up and changed with ease. Their bases were also on wheels so that they could be simply turned around.
Special effects included: lightening strikes, smoke machines, pyrotechnics (flames) and reverberation (echoed speech) were just some of the techniques used within the play.
Coconut and palm had great fun pretending to be Golum, using the reverbaration microphone, to repeate some Golum phrases.... Oh look Precious at all the children.....
