Ctr Alt Del

The senior class at BYT have been working on creating and performing their latest piece 'Ctrl+Alt+Del', a play that looked at some really interesting aspects of social media and how it affects the lives of young people. The piece was performed as part of a pilot certification process in conjunction with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, we are really happy to be collaborating with the RCS and hope that it is a long and fruitful relationship!

This video shows the class in rehearsals after they had devised a new movement piece know as 'The hashtag dance'. 


The play looked at many different subject matters such as cyber bullying and finding love online.
The group performed the piece in the studio theatre at Beacon on the 23rd and 24th of January alongside our 1st and 2nd year class who performed some devised scenes based on Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible' - both pieces were directed by Megan Yeomans and Michael Collins.

Next up will be our primary classes who shall be performing 'A Fairytale in Greenock' - a devised musical - in May. We are just starting rehearsals today and it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!
