SPORTS!

In January we gathered for the first time and began exploring this year’s theme - identity. We thought about what identity means to us and how our understanding of identity might be different to the generations that came before us. These explorations morphed into games which created characters about whom we started to write stories. Slowly but surely a show came to life. We landed on the concept of failure and the extent to which it defines our identity. A show was born.

“The show made me feel nostalgic and proud - as it reminded me of school days when I used to compete in Sports day and I also felt proud at the performance of my little brother.”
