Take Off! for the High Flyers’ Theatre Company
L-R Gerard Bentley, Iona Erskine, Przemystaw (Ruddi) Czerwonik, Kathryn Charlton, Gary Smyth, John Higgins
This year’s the drama group from AMH New Horizons Downpatrick , worked tremendously hard to put on a holiday themed show entitled ‘The Sky’s the Limit’ as part of a CCEA Performance Skills qualification.
The show comprised of 3 scenes which traced the character journeys from Cloud9 Airport to the sunny skies of Majorca!
We asked the troupe of actor’s to tell us about their experience …
Gerard – ‘It is exciting and thrilling to perform in front of an audience – I challenged myself in a way that I never thought I would be able to’
Iona – ‘It is exhilarating to see the end product of the months of hard work have such a positive audience reaction. It was a cathartic experience’
Gary – ‘The sense of achievement is amazing. It was so uplifting to have taken part in the performance’
Kathryn – ‘I feel humbled that the audience were so supportive of what we had created. Theatre has helped me to deal with anxiety. I feel I have more confidence to interact with new people’
Many congratulations to you all – inspirational! Well done!
