This term at RYSC, they have been 'Making a Scene!' - a fun and dynamic writing, directing and acting project for all ages. After a series of workshops covering storyboards, scene setting and plot development, they moved on to rehearsals, with each writer directing their own scene, and appearing in the scenes of others.

I think Madi has particularly benefitted from working with, and learning from, older children. RYSC is her favourite activity of the moment, and I'm not surprised as she is learning some really quite difficult concepts whilst having an awful lot of fun in a very supportive environment.

The scences performed varied greatly, starting with Laurence's hysterical performance in 'The Writers' backed up by Georgie, who made a superb straight man. There were also some very thoughtprovoking scenes about war and global warming, and some that were fun and fantasy, including 'Humpty Dumpty- What Really Happened' in which Madi performed a butterfly dance, and King Cadbury and the Alien Invasion, in which she was an Oompa Loompa! In 'Ruby Chants', she went to have her fortune told, and then she dismissed the notion of a fire brigade as a very pompous queen in 'The Fire of London'.
