Year 9/10 Performing Arts Celebration
About
Year 9 /10 On the Stage presentsThe Suitcase Series empowers young people to tackle the greatest challenge of their generation: climate change. The Suitcase Series is Malthouse Theatre’s award-winning participatory program for Year 9 and 10 students. Combining in-class activity with in-theatre performance, this innovative program is an opportunity for students to develop and expand their theatre-making skills and share work with peers.
Students have created a self-devised play set in the dystopian future where characters struggle to survive as the great Ariko the AI has taken over. The play explores climate change, dictatorships and a re-imagined future from a teenage perspective.
Play includes: physical theatre ,explosions and zombie attacks
Year 9/10 Musical Theatre presents the opening scenes of Heathers the Musical
The play is a dark comedy based on the 1989 film. It explores high school popularity , bullying and the pressures to fit in, using satire and heightened theatricality. The opening scenes introduce the intense social hierarchy at Westerberg High and the arrival of the trio of powerful Heathers.
Bullying and social exclusion is conveyed through song lyrics, character insults. Some words or phrases are suggestive and demeaning. The material is satirical and critiques the toxic high school culture and does not endorse it. Some stage combat and stylized movement is used to form the mood and dramatic tension.
