Students from North Bromsgrove High School and South Bromsgrove High School took part in a Vamos mask acting workshop last week, organised by Artrix Arts Centre.

The day workshop was run by Vamos’s Kathryn Green, who introduced students from year 9 to year 12 to some of the techniques of mask performance. The group finished the day with a sharing, for which students devised scenes using skills learnt during the day. Many of the group had no previous experience of mask, and proved themselves more than up to the challenge.

Students from both schools were enthusiastic and positive, and created work with confidence and real professionalism - even in the heat of the hottest day of the year! We’d like to congratulate all the students involved and say a big thank you to all at Artrix Arts Centre, Bromsgrove for organising the day.
