ISSEA Drama and Art - Feb 19 - 23

This past week, eleven of our Secondary students took part in the annual ISSEA Art & Drama festival at the International School of Tanganyika in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. 
This is one of the two ISSEA cultural conferences for which the focus is on learning and collaboration. 
Our visual arts students participated in workshops on digital design, henna-style painting, screen printing, beaded jewellery making and water-colors.  
Our Drama students had two days of workshops, on everything from stage presence, styles of theatre (comedy and tragedy) and voice emphasis. 
On the last day, they had six hours with their ensemble to put together a dramatic production.
Both sets of students learned from native Tanzanian or other foreign artists who were specialists in their trade. 

While the conference was very intense, all students came away with a better appreciation of  their own artistic genre, and developed their talents accordingly.
