Our Wierda Park Youth Theatre ended off the Evening with a very dramatic physical theatre piece called Perspectives

This year our older students (13-18yrs) explored the genre of Physical and Educational theatre. They really enjoyed the challenge and not only did it teach them a different genre of theatre it also made them think about daily issues that we face in South Africa

Wow - once again our Wierda Park Studio gave AMAZING performances
