Drama pupils put a stage in a box

Year 10 Performing Arts students were excited to get their hands on the Drama department's new resource. 

The department has just invested in a 'stage in a box' to help with understanding the aesthetics of theatre. This is an invaluable resource for our students and will allow them to investigate their potential creative visions, enabling them to see theatre in greater depth. 

Mr Richard Catmore, founder of 'Stage-in-a-Box', came in to Priory to demonstrate just how useful this resource will be. Stage-in-a-Box is a portable metal box which transforms into a stage or performance area. Its contents are more than 60 pieces which replicate rostra blocks of various sizes, ramps, cylinders and steps, each with an embedded magnet which allows them to be securely and easily positioned. A beautifully made working lighting rig provides further authenticity. In fact, it has all that is needed to build stage sets from the simple to the complex.
