Perfection for a Montego Bay Student

Corinaldi Avenue Primary School in Montego Bay, Jamaica’s second city, was among the elite group of students to attain perfection in the 2015 Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT), scoring a 100 per cent in the five (5) disciplines which make up the annual high school placement examination. James Welds Jr. is the star student and will be attending Cornwall College.

“...The fact that James did not attend any additional classes, but simply spent his time studying at home, seems even more remarkable. When I get home after school, I would do my chores, then I study for two hours, and then would have dinner and go back to study until about 10 o'clock, and then go to bed," said James. "Mommy bought two test books; and every evening she made me do a test from the books."

James' teacher, Theresa Morgan-Williams, was also overjoyed by his excellent performance, and attributed his success to his dedication. "I am overjoyed and happy for all the students who did so well ... James is quiet, hard-working and is a dedicated child ... He loves to read; he takes time out to read, and is generally by himself reading. Even when the others are talking, he is reading," said Morgan-Williams.

While noting that his favourite subject is social studies, James said he did not find any subject difficult in the examinations.  "I used to find science a bit challenging because I did not know how machines work, but Daddy helped me and it's no longer a problem," said the youngster, who aspires to become a high-ranking army officer or a professional footballer.

Working with the Playwright

OK so we know that Pronoun is a good play! And getting to meet other directors we can also see that there is a real buzz about it. Evan Placed is a humble unassuming young man. He clearly had a vision for the piece but is not precious about it. He understands for it to have full impact with as many young people as possible that we need to own our interpretation. He wrote the play because he’d identified a gap in industry, that male teen trans were just not represented…at all. One message that came across loud and clear from the workshop was as long as we tell the story in the most truthful honest way we can we’ll be successful. The two directors from the national theatre were also very passionate about it. Tell the story, stay true to the story. Understand that its a romantic Comedy, some of it is very much intended to be funny. We need to realise Dean is very certain of himself, this is not a coming out story, Dean is not confused, neither is he perfect, we should not put him on a pedestal. As much it deals with big issues, what they aren’t looking for us to do is preach to our audience that discussions for the audience will come if we play the truth of each moment. Evan talked us through a few aspects of the play which obviously I’ll share when I get back to college. One thing is certain that even if we don’t make it to the National this play is going to be very worth while.

The Light Princess

Years in the making this show has not had the most favourable press, I wasn’t entirely sure I was particularly bothered about going to see it. But when NTC offered us tickets for £8 I thought ah well I can go and see The Commitments the Musical another time. I’m not opposed to the music of Tori Amos although I wouldn’t say I know it that well either. On arrival I was quite anxious as I knew there was an issue with the tubes and that getting back to shepherds bush and to Lizzie & Dewi’s place (two of the fabulous members of the Salon:Collective, who we’ll be doing some workshops with in London in January) wasn’t going to be easy…what I’m taking a long time to say is…I wasn’t in the best mood to be watching anything! The set on display as we arrived was a little Wicked-esqué although not as good. There was a Map of a fairy tale land and on the one side there was the Blue and the other was gold divided by a strip of Emerald, and likewise on either side of the stage were two balconies. The set throughout the rest of the show was almost cartoony in places with animation being used ALOT. When it began I thought Oh no! they are just going to use the animation for the bits that are difficult to show…what a cop out! It was then that we were introduced to The light princess! I didn’t buy a programme so you’ll need to look her up if you want to find out who the actress is (I’m typing this up on the tube so have no way of checking right now) We were also introduced to her “floatations team” the people dressed in black who lifted/balanced/manipulated her to make her look like she was floating. My goodness! it was incredible and the fact that she was singing at the same time,when you imagine that her body must be fairly rigid (part of the voice workshop was that it’s difficult to produce good sound if you aren’t relaxed) One block balanced her on his legs Lifting her up and down for at least 5 mins and even when she was wired for the higher floatations it was still very skilfully done (none of the clumsy harness attachment that we saw in Billy Elliot!) The puppetry was also worth a mention brilliant birds and dragons and a mouse! The performances were all good but I just didn’t get into the music unfortunately which was a really pity, some of my counterpart teachers left during the interval which on reflection I wish I had as the 2nd half didn’t offer that much more (except an incredible Dam being broken and water,or rather material, flowing beautifully over the stage) So although overall I’m not sure i liked it I would definitely recommend it for the technical devices which were pretty awesome!
