Back on the stage at Time Like These - After a period of Isolation in Term 2 it was wonderful to have our students return to face to face classes. The return to school allowed for the Drama 3C class to create and perform their mid-year production in the last week.

This year the class used the global events of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as their own feelings of their time in isolation to devise a production rather than using an established published script. Times Like These incorporated a range of dramatic styles and techniques to represent and capture this time in our lives.

Drama students worked on scenes of the production through a combination of online learning and in person classes throughout the term, which then culminated as a major production in the Dwight brown Auditorium on the 1^st and 2^nd of July 2020. A small audience of Rosny staff and students were able to view the production, while with help from our VET Screen and Media and VET Creative Industries students we were able to stream the production to families and friends at home so they didn’t miss out.

It was a challenge to create a production in such an unknown environment, work online and get the performance on stage ready for an audience but the students collaborative effort across a range of Performing Arts areas made it a fantastic and worthwhile learning opportunity for all involved.
