Your first brief is to create a short performance piece to be shared on Open Evening which is Thursday 1st October.
The piece will be shown to visitors to the school as they show their children around and consider whether to come to The William Allitt School.
Your performance will be repeated and needs to showcase your chosen skill. As your first assessment, I expect a professional looking, well rehearsed performance. Remember you are representing the school and the Performing Arts Department in particular.
