Across Weeks 9 and 10 of this term, the Year 10 Drama girls have been collaborating with Prince Alfred College (PAC) Drama students in a series of workshops working with international artist, Mark Hill.

Mark Hill is an international physical theatre performer, director and teacher. He has performed with cutting edge Australian physical theatre companies Zen Zen Zo, The Danger Ensemble and De Quincey Co, and with international companies Dairakudakan (Japan) and SU-EN Butoh Company (Sweden). He has also applied his skills to the music industry, touring as a physical performer for many years with Cabaret Punk musician, Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls. Mark has trained and performed in a variety of World Traditions Methodologies for the past two decades, including Butoh, The Suzuki Method of Actor Training, The Viewpoints, Noh and Kecak.

This series of workshops with Mark, who is so skilled in physical theatre and international theatre styles, has been a highly unique experience for the girls. It has been wonderful to see how much the girls have enjoyed engaging with this style of theatre and how much they have gained as performers from working with Mark. It has also been excellent to collaborate with PAC’s Year 10 and Year 11 boys throughout the process and in the development of Friday’s showcase performance, which will be a great celebration of the students’ learning and skills as physical theatre performers.
