Frantarctica

Chorlton High School had difficulties getting pupils in Geography to engage with the topic of Antarctica and the Modern Languages department had similar difficulties with tenses in French.

Working with pupils and the wonderful  Royal Exchange Theatre Education team, myself, Director Amy Leach and sound artist Ade Holbrook, created a three part play about the past, present and future history of Antarctica in French and English. Working on language, set design and costume, I had the pleasure of turning the round theatre into a snowscape complete with falling flakes. The airconditioning was whacked up high for the presented performances so it was truly frosty and pupils became explorers, penguins and pioneers in an hour long production staged in May 2007.
