We've been back to classes over a month now and it's shaping up to be a very busy and exciting year already!
On Monday we had the wonderful opportunity of doing
a Hairspray Workshop with the Oakland's Primary School year 6 classes. This
special workshop was led by myself (CristÃn Curtin Principal and Singing
Teacher) & Matthew Rowland (actor & choreographer). A very special
guest also joined us!! We had the pleasure of being joined by actor Piers Bate
who has just finished playing Corny Collins in the Hairspray UK Tour!
The children had lots of fun learning the original
choreography from Piers of "Nicest Kids in Town", playing drama games
as well learning the upbeat tongue twister that is "You Can't Stop the
Beat". It's fair to say the children were really put through their paces,
but there were big smiles all round through out! A special thank you to Oakland's Primary School, Matthew Rowland and Piers Bate for making the workshop possible!
