HeronBridge College makes final round in Curro Create event, after first-ever participation

19 June 2024

After participating in the Curro Create National Youth Theatre Festival: One Act Play for the first time ever since joining the Curro school group, HeronBridge College learners reached the final round from a pool of 40 entries. The six learners delivered a breathtaking performance of Look Me in the Eye.

 

 

Unexpected praise

The group of learners chose to participate in this event mainly to learn from the experience. The play was written by Lindsay Price and directed by Wendy-Ann Harvey: FET Phase Head. 'We were so lucky to come on top on our first try ... and being chosen as good enough to proceed to the live performances and a camp from July 1 until July 7,' Wendy-Ann shared with Fourways Review. 'It's not just about winning. It is about developing learners holistically and Curro gives us those opportunities - and we are grateful for it.'
