Magic moments on stage
The Scriptless Cup for 2016 was held on the
final day of Term 2.
Over the four years we have been running
this event, the traditions and rituals that
form part of the fun have been evolving
- the coveted plastic Chicken Trophy, the
Magic Moment Award as well as the various
bonus marks for tasks such as improvised
interpretative dance, and the supreme prize, a bucket of minties.
The audiences were so eager for the competition to start, they
arrived 15 minutes early. Each house chose a team of six students
who played a range of drama impro games.
Preceding the finals this year, the competitors had a training
session with the current Australian Theatresports Champions,
Kate Coates and Pat McGee. In the Little Theatre, Years 7 and
8, under the watchful eyes of Pat and Miss Brownrigg, were
introduced to the impro techniques that encourage lightning fast
imaginative responses in which stories, characters and situations
are created, developed and
dissolved within a matter of
minutes.
The Year 9 and 10
competition mixed
experienced drama
students with inspired
newcomers to impro.
Alec Wilde, Bradley Shadbolt
and Jesse Miteff proved to be
formidable exponents and
provided several inspired comic
moments.
In a closely fought battle, Savio
were victorious in the Year
7-8 final and Bosco raised the
squeaking chicken in triumph to
take the honours for Year 9-10.
Kate and Pat began the day with a workshop for students from
Years 5 and 6 who will compete in a Junior Theatresports
Competition to celebrate Dominic Feast day in two weeks’ time.
