GCSE and A Level Drama students both had the opportunity to listen to two experts in the industry via Zoom.

Costume Designer Katie Sykes discussed her amazing costume designs for the National Theatre's production of Peter Pan with GCSE drama groups. The conversation included how these fitted with the overall playful and ensemble style of the production. The students asked sharp questions and were rewarded with some fascinating insights into the designs - for example for Captain Hook's hook! 

Meanwhile, A Level Drama students have been studying the Young Vic's production of Yerma, an adaptation of Lorca's play and Stefan Gregor, the sound designer, spoke to the students via Zoom. In Australia during the call, Stefan kindly stayed up past midnight to provided the students with some fascinating insights into the haunting soundscapes he created for this powerful, harrowing production.
