Students taste life in the arts with Travelling Light Theatre Company

City Academy’s Year 10 students recently participated in a unique work experience program with Travelling Light, an international award-winning theatre company based in Bristol.

Throughout their time with Travelling Light, students engaged in a variety of experiences related to careers in the arts industries. They were involved in hands-on projects and activities that provided them with invaluable insights into the world of theatre production and performance.

The dedication and creativity displayed by our students were highly commended by the team at Travelling Light. Their professionalism and commitment throughout the work experience program were exemplary, and they have gained a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to carry forward into their future endeavours.

Rebecca Pearce, teacher of drama at City Academy, said: “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Travelling Light for offering such an enriching experience to our students and for supporting the next generation of creative professionals.

“This opportunity not only enhanced their understanding of the arts but also allowed them to develop important skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.”
