Who would have thought that after only one week the young people from Bilston could create two brilliant shows? Well ... They did!
What a week! What a show!
So ... The seniors took their audience to Heart Break High to experience a day in the life of one of the pupils. What a day it was.
The young people wanted to include issues that are important to them in their piece. They wanted to explore certain problems and bring them to our attention.
In Heart Break High we were faced with underage sex resulting in pregnancy, drugs and alcohol abuse. The are all topics that the young people felt they could relate to and speak about.
Could you hack a day at Heart Break High? ...
The juniors on the other hand worked from an existing script. Techno Tina and Other Gruesome Tales.
This play is made up of grotesque tales for children all based on technology and what it can do to you.
The juniors performed the following tales in their piece:
-Techno Tina (Tina dances to Techno music so much that her arms, legs and body drop off.)
-The Terrible twins (Tammy and Tracey play playstation all day, everyday. Eventually they play so much that they end up stuck in the screen.)
-Winnie Web (Winnie loves her computer so much that she is never off it. One night whilst sleeping the web bugs take her away.)
-Ted and His Enormous Head (Teds mobile phone is quite literally glued to his ear. He uses far too much. So much so that his head becomes abnormally large.)
Both the senior and the junior did fantastically and should be very proud of themselves.
If you were lucky enough to see Bilston Live and Loud this year, please let us know what you thought of it. It would be great to hear from you!
