WOWFEST: HEROES AND VILLAINS
AN END OF YEAR WOWFEST EVENT
Superpower? CHECK
Cape? CHECK
Disguise? CHECK
Anything else?!?
What does it take to become a hero? And isn’t a villain just a victim whose story hasn’t been told?
We are surrounded by a cinematic universe of heroes, but if you look closely, heroes are actually all around us. A small deed can create a hero as much as a superpower. But a superpower in the wrong hands can create a villain. People are not born heroes or villains; we’re all just ordinary people making choices that result in consequences.
Using the skills accumulated over the course of the entire year, each group of students will present a short 10-minute performance as part of WOWFEST: HEROES AND VILLAINS. Guided by their tutors, students will work closely with their classmates during terms 3 and 4, to rehearse their own unique take on heroes and villains. With a focus on assembling a team of unstoppable actors, standing side by side, working together to become something more! Together, there will be no room for Thanos – er, we mean Nervous!
The Playhouse stage will become the battleground where nerves will be defeated, performance superpowers flexed and a hero made of each and every actor brave enough to get on stage!
EVERY VILLAIN IS A HERO IN THEIR OWN MIND
