Backwell-Dinan Exchange 8 - 15 June 2023
After three years affected by the pandemic, we are delighted to have been able to re-establish our link with the Collège F. Broussais in Dinan, and on Wednesday 8 June 31 excited students from Years 9 and 10 embarked on the overnight ferry journey to France!
Our KS3 production of Grease was a resounding success with over 850 people coming to support the show for its 3-night run. Students from years 7, 8 and 9 became T-Birds and Pink Ladies and sang and danced their way through the iconic songs of the popular show. The commitment and sense of teamwork on display was a joy to watch, resulting in 2 hours of vibrant musical theatre. The cast was given great support by a tight and focussed 10-piece band and a team of talented technicians overseeing all of the lights, sound, staging, costumes and props. This was a terrific team effort, pulled together by the vision and energy of director Jenny May, musical director Esme Caldwell and technical director Scott Stokes.
