Students worked in groups to express an emotional theme through various mediums at CBA’s latest Gifted and Talented masterclass.

The students worked together to express the emotion they had been given through music, poetry, art and drama for the masterclass. It was called Project ICE, which stood for inspiration, communication and exploration.

Teacher Felicity Cornish said: “They had to present their theme in two ways. The themes included obsession, emptiness, despair, optimism and fury.

“There was a lot of fantastic work produced.

“It culminated with a big creative showcase at the end of the session in the theatre, where each group performed their theme.”

Some of the students produced painted canvases as part of their work.

Year 10 student Dylan Cottell, who was in the ‘obsession’ group, said: “I enjoyed it very much, the masterclasses are really fun.

“As well as writing a poem I worked in the recording studio making a mix which the girls in our group choreographed a dance to.”
