Arts and Culture

The Glenwood Community Forum Proms had to be moved to the School Hall last night due to the inclement weather. This certainly did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd and of the Durban City Orchestra! The Hallwas full and the evening went of successfully. Well done to all concerned. Excellent evening's entertainment. Long may it continue.

 School Play – Twisted

 The annual School Play, Twisted ran nightly from 22 – 24 August 2012.

 VISUAL ARTS/ARTS   AND  CULTURE  REPORT

 Dramatic Arts report:

 The Matric Art Preactical Exam was written recentlyand there were a number of excellent pieces produced. We look forward to seeing results at year-end.

The annual School Play formed part of the Creativity Festival weekend and credit must be given to Mrs Hampton for producing a tight script for the young performers, and congratulations must certainly be given to the young actors and backstage crew. Special thanks to the front of house Staff and Parents.

GLENWOOD CREATIVITY FESTIVAL - 3rd /4th SEPTEMBER 2011

Please see some of our highlights listed below and our posters that are attached.

GLENWOOD CREATIVITY FESTIVAL - MT Pavillion

The Mike Turrell Pavilion will be a buzz with activity on Saturday, 3 September 2011 from 08:30.

The Matrics entertained an enthusiastic audience in the Drama Studio at lunchtime today with some interesting choral verse recitals. We look forward to more of these lunchtime productions.

The Headmaster's study had a couple of unusual characters burst in and try and take over. It was not striking workers thank goodness!

Winnie the Pooh and Tigger made a special appearance at school today just prior to the Creativity Festival that takes place this Saturday.

This must have been a 1st for the Headmaster's Study!

The planning for the 2010 History/Cultural Tour is well on track and the tour summary appears below. I think it is too late to join now!

The Rainbow Young Performers presented the hit Broadway Musical 'Hairspray' at the Sneddon Theatre this year.

I really enjoyed the performance (again) and I always sit in awe when I see the talent that KwaZulu-Natal (and South Africa) has at its disposal.

I can recommend a visit to the Sneddon as soon as possible.

I found another interesting article on the upcoming film, Spud, in a magazine earlier today.

Personally, I cannot wait to see the final product on the big screen!

Glenwood boys, J Royal and B Langley receive good reviews in the article.

Daniel Brown of Form V was recently selected to represent the KZN Youth Choir. This is a first for Daniel despite being selected for the National Youth Choir in 2009. Well done Daniel.

It was wonderful to see another SPUD casting in the Daily News earlier this week. Tyronne Bright of Form IIB heard this week that he had won an opportunity to be part of the cast of SPUD alongside the other 2 Glenwood boys already cast.

Well done.

Glenwood boys, Jamie Royal (who will play Gecko) and Byron Langley (Simon) have been cast in the upcoming film version of the best-selling books, 'Spud'.

Rehearsals will start in March and will continue for 3 months.

Well done to the boys and I look forward to enjoying the film (with John Cleese in the lead role) as much as the books!

I enjoyed looking over the Matric final artwork in the Art Room on Friday before it goes off for final marking. There is some excellent work on display. Well done to the boys and the Teacher.
