Today the students' experienced a range of interactive workshops run by professional performers as well as yet another fantastic musical show. In the morning we left our hotel and jumped aboard a tube train and made our way to The Globe Theatre. This replica of the original which was built in 1599 provided the students' with an excellent insight into Shakespearean England. We was guided around the theatre by Margo who provided a great explanation about life during Tudor England and the perception of the performing arts in society at the time. We had the opportunity to explore inside the building and she explained everything from why the expensive seats were behind the stage, to why the set was considered to be highly decedent for its time. After the tour, the group took part in an interactive workshop run by Margo. She led the group through a range of activities which explored themes from the play Macbeth.

After a brief spot of lunch the group then made their way to Rada studios. This is where many famous actors have passed through on their way to stardom. Here the students' experienced two interactive workshops; stage combat and Samba dancing. Everyone really enjoyed this experience of working within a professional studio and the opportunity to develop their performance skills was excellent.

Into the evening, we made our way over to Victoria where we visited the Apollo theatre to watch Wicked. The students were really excited to see this show and it certainly didn't disappoint. Here are some of their reviews after the performance:

Jelena - The set was amazing - it reached from the floor to the ceiling.
Omar - Fantastic - the characters and the story kept me on the the edge of my seat throughout the show
Jaqueline - I thought that the story was really interesting and the singing was fantastic!
