Introduction
In May, the Dance & Drama Scholars of Headington School were due to collaborate on an exciting and intensive weekend of rehearsals to produce an original piece of theatre, inspired by Frantic Assembly, the physical theatre masterminds behind 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time'.
But when faced with a restriction, such as months in lockdown, we can still find ways to be creative and demonstrate a exceptional range of skills - as well as pick up on some new ones. Below, you will find a range of Short Films based on the theme of 'Discovery'.
On Friday 26th June, we held an Awards Night, to acknowledge the students success. You can watch it on YouTube.
A list of the Awards, nominees and winners, as well as the members of the Awards Panel, can be found here.
Thank you for watching these films created by our wonderful students.
