‘Tomorrow’ post show workshop

Today pupils from the Higher and Advanced Higher drama classes had a post-show discussion from Mathew Lenton, the Artistic Director of Vanishing Point Theatre Company about his play ‘Tomorrow’.  This was a very interesting and beneficial opportunity for the students which will certainly aid them in the  performance analysis element of the final exam.  S5 pupil Iona Ramsay was so inspired by Matthew’s visit that she is considering a career in direction!  Thanks again Matthew!

Comedy prize winner

On Tuesday 18th August, former Williamwood pupil Joe Gardner competed in the ‘Class Clowns’ stand-up comedy competition at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The competition, for ages 12-18, was staged at the Gilded Balloon which is Edinburgh’s top comedy venue. Joe successfully made it to the final where he faced 4 other teenagers from all across Scotland. The competition was judged by venue founder Karen Koren and comedians Kevin Day and Jo Brand!   After some deliberation, Joe was announced as the winner, making him the first ever Class Clowns winner in Edinburgh and the ‘funniest teenager in Scotland’. Joe was supported by many of his peers and staff on the night. His professional and slick style of delivering relatable, honest material was commended by the judges. The comedy baton was gladly passed from one Jo(e) to another!

 

S1/2 Drama Club

On Tuesday 28 October, the S1/S2 Drama Club performed improvised dramas based on Halloween. Over 50 pupils from S1 and S2 dressed in their spookiest costumes and performed to each other. A big thank you to the S6 pupils and Mrs Drewett for making this the largest and scariest Halloween performance to date. Happy Halloween!
