Lewisham College's Level 3 Performing and Production Arts learners debuted Corporate Greed, a play based on a US energy corporation's accounting and auditing scandal as part of their end-of-year production.
In preparation for the performance the learners developed and managed the stage's lighting and sound design and had the opportunity to showcase their creative skills in lighting, projection, and scenic design and in selecting suitable soundtracks to accompany the production.
The play centred around the three characters at the heart of the financial mismanagement scandal, which saw the US energy corporation go from being worth billions to being declared bankrupt following the use of illegal loopholes in their accounting and auditing practices. These characters were brought to life by the learners, who delivered a esmerising performance.
The performance was attended by the College’s community and the learners’ family and friends who enjoyed the play and witness the learners’ talent and performing and production skills.
Jayne Morgan, Lewisham College Vice Principal, said: "At Lewisham College, we are proud to provide a platform for learners to explore their passion for drama and production arts at further education level. Our young learners in these disciplines have demonstrated exceptional skills and dedication in their course and in producing and staging this outstanding performance, paving the way for them to pursue degrees in acting or stage production at some of the most prestigious universities in the UK.
“Their expertise in the technical aspects of stage management and coordination and their artistic flair in creating stunning stage sound and lighting are truly remarkable. We're certain that these learners have the ability, knowledge and skills to contribute to the creative industries significantly, and we cannot wait to see where their careers will take them."
