Dr Who!

This term in Drama and Dance at the learning centre, we have been exploring the stories and the world of Dr Who.

The students have been moving through space, learning how to move robotically like Cyborgs, talk like Daleks and create alien creatures though body, face and vocal expression.

This week, Ben Cain, the Learning and Engagement Officer, from The Coliseum, came and delivered a workshop about Dr Who.

Through props, puppetry, sounds, music and role play the students created and explored an imagined alien planet. They made decisions about the name of the planet, what aliens lived there and how they looked, moved and sounded. They met the Dr’s assistant and space slugs on the planet and travelled in the Tardis. It was a little scary but great fun. 

We will continue to explore this theme throughout their term.

Oldham Theatre Workshop have donated a full size Dalek to us ….WOW … for restoration. Please meet Derek the Dalek. 

So we will be restoring the Dalek which will be included in an exhibition we are creating in the Art gallery about our work this term.
