Trentham High School treated to NULC's version of Alice in Wonderland

On Monday 12 March a group of Year 9 and Year 10 potential stars of the stage from Trentham High School took part in a Performing Arts taster session at Newcastle-under-Lyme College.

33 students participated in the workshop with a brave few asked to perform a scene from Lewis Carols timeless classic Alice in Wonderland to NULC A Level Media Studies lecturer Natalie Weatherer and current A Level Theatre Studies students.

As part of the workshop Trentham High School pupils were able to work alongside the college students and ask questions about their course before having a guided tour of the college.

The aim of the visit was to give the pupils the opportunity to work with the current college students as they prepare for their own college production of Alice in Wonderland.

The visit was a great success with an encore request for the college students to visit the school and run more workshops!

Mrs Watkins, Drama Teacher at Trentham High School said: “The visit allowed the students to work alongside the college students and seeing them perform.”

Jude Martin, Year 10 student from Trentham High School said: “I enjoyed watching the performance about Alice in Wonderland and then getting the opportunity to perform it ourselves.”
