All the World's a (little) Stage |

Head
of Drama Mr Ian Barraclough said: "It was the
most engaging and informative presentation I
have ever seen on theatre design, and it gave
our students the sort of valuable insights that
only come through hands-on experience. The model
was a fully working proscenium arch stage, complete
with scale models of genuine theatre equipment,
such as a cyclorama, other lighting, flies and
revolving scenery."
Other
highlights of the Arts Week included a poetry
performance by Anglo-Czech poet Andrew Fusek
Peters given to Years 8, 9 and 10, followed by
a poetry workshop. Andrew, who frequently deals
with teenage topics in his poetry, has written
30 books and his poems have appeared in 35 anthologies. |

Year
11 pupils had the opportunity to show what they
could do in a drama showcase featuring two of
their own recently devised plays. There was a
Sixth Form short story competition and an art
contest. And the Arts Week concluded with a concert
for the winners of a music competition. |
Headmaster
Mr Kevin Riley said: "Bristol Cathedral School
is probably best known for excellence in music
and the arts, and our annual Arts Week is, therefore,
a real opportunity to play to our strengths." Families
considering sending a child to Bristol Cathedral
School can find out more about its arts and music
during tours of the school, which are now being
held every Tuesday and Friday morning at 9.15am
until the end of this term. Bristol Cathedral
School, which is one of the oldest schools in
the city, welcomes boys from 11-18, with girls
in the Sixth Form.
