From 2000-2005 Gina & I were living in the UK working for the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-Upon-Avon. We had a great time during our years there and I had the opportunity to photograph many amazing events & wonderful people.
Today I thought I'd post a couple of galleries of pictures that were created for an exhibition of work for the RSC's education Department. The following is the company's description:
The
RSC’s education department worked over a 6 week period with young people from Twickenham Primary School
and the College High
School in the Kingstanding area of Birmingham. The schools form part of the
Kingstanding Excellence in Cities Action Zone initiative. Some of the students worked on Macbeth
and some on Romeo and Juliet. All the students came to Stratford to see the current productions of
the shows and they then created their own performance pieces, which they
performed in their schools for peers and parents.
These photographs are an illustration of the
commitment, enthusiasm and raw talent that the students brought to the project.
And just a reminder that the pictures are best viewed in the 'Gallery' format. Just click on the one below and then use your keyboard arrows. Hit f11 for full screen.
