For our Arts Week staff and students from across the school and college came together to enjoy an amazing timetable of 5 workshops.
On the first day, students and staff were treated to a Yo Chi and arts workshops. Yo Chi is a specially designed form of exercise combining Yoga and Tai-chi for physical well-being.
On day 2, Reflections of the Lord Mayor Founder and Director Chris Seow and 2 professional artists ran stained glass workshops for the students.
On day 3, we welcomed drummer Matt for some inspiring and energising African drumming workshops. The workshops included call and response, experiencing different rhythms and following the dynamics and tempo of Matt’s drumming. One of our school students said that the workshop “made him feel happy and excited and that he had not been to anything like this before.”
Day 4 was spent with Maddy Hurlstone, harpist and newly qualified music therapist. Primary students enjoyed hearing a selection of classic tunes from Disney to Bach. They also had an opportunity to try playing the harp, and performing alongside Maddy using the Clarion.
On the last day, we had the pleasure of listening to film songs performed by Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra performers together with BSO Resound musicians.
