Year 9 Arts Project

The annual Mulberry Year 9 Project will take place on Tuesday 24th June and Wednesday 25th June.  The Year 9 Arts Project is a well-established, annual cross curricular arts event that has been a part of the Mulberry arts curriculum for thirteen years.  This exciting grand scale event takes a term to organise and is a collaboration between students, teachers and artists in residence.  This year’s plays are inspired by international tales and the following stories will be performed: ‘Lone Bird’, ‘A Native American Tale’, ‘Weh Shen’, The Chinese Cinderella, ‘How Night Came’, A Brazilian Tale, ‘Thor’, from the Lordic Mythology.  As in previous years the emphasis of this inclusive project allows all students in Year 9 to stretch their creative skills within the arts and for each tutor group to have a sense of ownership and responsibility for their performances.
