RS9 beweist beim englischen Workshop
theatralische Qualitäten
Einen ganzen Vormittag lang spielte sich die RS9 unter seiner professionellen Anleitung durch zwei von ihm adaptierte Shakespeare-Stücke. In witziger Atmosphäre zeigten einige SchülerInnen der Klasse während sie in verschiedene Rollen schlüpften ihr Talent im Sprechen der englischen Sprache sowie im schauspielerischen Darstellen.
"Macbeth"
"Pyramus and Thisbe"
Die Szenen von "Macbeth" sowie "Pyramus and Thisbe" wurden von David Taylor gefilmt und geschnitten. Als Ergenbis darf sich jeder Schüler der Klasse den fertigen Film inklusive Outtakes mit nach Hause nehmen.
