Lycée theatreLycée Theatre is divided into two sections: the acting/performing and technical theatre. Students who join the lycée production do not need to be experienced actors. They are required, however, to be enthusiastic and must above all be capable of co-operating and working as part of a team. Students will acquire voice and movement skills and will experiment with different theatrical techniques. An audition is generally required. The group works towards a public performance and this usually takes the form of a scripted play, either by a known writer or devised by the group members. 
The 2006 production of Medea Members of the technical team (Tech Crew) focus on lighting design and operation, set design and construction, sound, publicity, stage management, costume design and make-up. Students usually choose an area that interests them but may at times have to take on a variety of tasks. Tech Crew members work closely alongside the actors as they prepare for a show. During these busy moments, everyone will need to put in more hours. In general, students can either be part of a particular performance or technical project for a term, or carry on throughout the academic year. Tech Crew students are also involved with the Primary and Collège Performances. Therefore, Tech Crew is also open to interested and mature collège students. Students who are interested in the technical side of theater need to contact the Technical Coordinator as soon as possible at the start of each year. A great deal of commitment is required of our theatre students and a lot of enjoyment can be had as well! |
