MLC's Production 'Pride & Prejudice'

As art educators we have a responsibility to provide opportunities that may allow individuals to achieve heigtened levels of cognitive and affective development. Performanced based learning, in conjuction with other types of learning, offers the student the potential to develop wholistically.

All students have the opportunity to participate in some form of Performing Arts activity. Dance, Drama and Speech are certainly some of the most popular activities in the school.

THE STUDIO at MLC School is dedicated to creating rich artistic experiences that provide the opportunity to extend creative talents, intellectual abilities and human skills in a variety of imaginative and challenging ways. Speech and Drama lessons
are available to all girls at MLC from Pre- Kinder to Year 12 and to the wider community. All courses provide individuals with an opportunity to discover their own artistic, social, cooperative and communicative abilities through imagination and a creative process. Programs are tailored to meet the needs of each student.

Girls can be involved in:

• The Shakespeare Festival
• Speech & Drama Lessons
• Speech Correction
• Voice for the professional user
• Acting
• Performing Arts Holiday Workshops
• Speech & Drama Teacher Training
• Masterclasses
• 12 hour Theatre Weekends
• Pilates for Performers
• Performing Arts Ensembles

These events are rehearsed and staged in our Drama Theatre and Dance Studio as well as being performed at Festivals, Eisteddfod and showcases at a regional and national level.

Join the Crew

Skills, not only in performance, but also in directing, producing, sound, lighting and set design are developed. For many students at MLC crewing for our productions and those of neighbouring schools is a huge responsibility and a great reward. At MLC crewing is just as important as cast work as our girls crew all our productions.
