Students from the Artori Academy performed their end of term showcase at the Corn Exchange in Blandford to a packed audience.
The show, for all the community to enjoy, featured monologues, duologues, dance performances, musical numbers, soundscapes, special effects make-up catwalks and recited comedy poems.
Soloists Rosie Cherrington and Lani Bennett Seeger took the spotlight on their own, singing musical numbers.
Daisy Lewin-Gray narrated
a comedy catwalk and Olivia Baker performed a dance
solo.
Having spent the last academic year honing a selection of skills ranging from prop-making to singing, the students were proud to perform a selection of their work.
Principal Kelly Hunter said: “I am so proud of our students – they worked tirelessly on this Showcase and the work they produced was fantastic.”
Industry and West End professionals have visited the students each term and over the year the youngsters have learnt a range of techniques including gold leafing and prop ageing, stage combat and how to create special effects burns and injuries, alongside all the expected singing, acting and dancing.
Classes run every Saturday in the Corn Exchange. For more information visit www.theartoriacademy.com
