Learning In Action
Learning in Action: Shrek the Musical Comes to Life
In the lead-up to the opening of Shrek the Musical, our production came to life in a powerful and exciting way this week as we welcomed visiting primary and senior school students to Corpus Christi College. Guests were invited to experience the first full run-throughs of the show, complete with technical elements, costume and makeup, offering a rare glimpse into the world behind the curtain.
We were also delighted that some of our own Year 5 and 6 students were fortunate to enjoy a special look at the production in action. For many, it was their first opportunity to see a large-scale school musical at such an advanced stage of preparation, creating excitement and inspiration as they witnessed learning brought to life on stage.
These live run-through experiences are incredibly rewarding for our Cast and Crew. Performing before an audience allows students to refine their timing, performance and stagecraft while building confidence and professionalism. At the same time, welcoming other schools onto campus strengthens connections within our wider community and reinforces our role as a collaborative hub of learning.
Senior students attended the performances as part of an authentic learning opportunity, supported by a curriculum-aligned resource pack designed to deepen their understanding of production, performance and creative processes. Through this experience, students were able to link theory with practice, observe collaboration in action and gain insight into the professional standards required in live theatre.
As a hub of learning, Corpus Christi College is proud to open its doors and share opportunities like these. Experiences such as drama productions, music performances and art exhibitions allow students to learn from one another and celebrate creativity across schools.
Schools interested in future opportunities are warmly invited to register their interest. When our next performance or exhibition comes to life, we may be in touch to invite you to experience learning in action at Corpus Christi College.
Register your interest and be part of the experience.
