NC Acting and Theatre Performance students present “The Pain of existence” on Wednesday 6th February 7pm in Drama Studio 1. Tickets are £2 available from Miss Brown or on the door. Seating is limited and due to the content is for ages 15+ only. As part of the mandatory unit Acting Skills (SCQF Level 6 F5KY 12) students must create and develop two contrasting characters from rehearsal to performance. Students have developed appropriate physical, vocal, emotional and intellectual characteristics in two dramatic scenes. The first is a devised piece called “The Pain of Existence” and the second is a collection of scripted scenes. We hope you can come along and support them.
