On Friday 29 April, the cast for the 2016 Holy Cross College Production of ‘The Happiest Days of Your Life’ departed for Swanleigh for our first ever production camp. The camp was designed as a weekend of intensive rehearsals, workshops, character building and teamwork activities. We were also lucky to have two guest artists, Krisha and Quaid visit on the Saturday to assist our students with characterisation and stage technique. Across the weekend, the students worked particularly hard, developing their character relationships and pushing themselves to memorise some tricky lines of dialogue. Rehearsals were broken up by some entertaining conversations at meal times, a movie night on the Friday and a quiz night on the Saturday. As we enter the final stretch before show week in Week 8, the Production Camp was a fantastic and fun learning experience which gave cast, crew and staff a chance to really band together and work as a team. A huge thanks to Miss Jackie Collender, Miss Edel Maher and Miss Emma Robinson for their amazing work over the weekend. We now can’t wait to present ‘The Happiest Days of Your Life' to the College community next month.
