05.01.2022 ***Rosny Musical**** What an epic afternoon of auditions! We are so proud of everyone involved. Well done #wickedhobart2020 #rosnymusical #wow #rosnycollege #casting #somuchtalent #proudteachers

04.01.2022 Rosny College Dance - It has felt odd teaching Dance online - working apart from each other over the first four weeks of term 2, however, we have literally covered a lot of ground dance wise!. We explored choreographic ideas and safety concepts including anatomy, safety when warming- up and looking at the history of Modern Dance. We have used Kahoots, Prezis, YouTube, our mobile phones, OneNote, Microsoft Teams and PowerPoints to provide platforms for learning in Dance during our at home learning period. In line with much of the rebellious nature of Modern and Contemporary Dance (and the choreographers works we have looked at namely Trisha Brown, Twyla Tharp, William Forsythe and Akram Khan): we have danced out in the open air, and in alternate spaces using our backyards, kitchens, lounge rooms and bedrooms as performance spaces.

SUBJECTS STUDIED WHILE AT ROSNY: - Art Practice 3C - Art Production 3C - Drama 3C - English Writing 3C - Social Science 3C - Contemporary English Studies 3C - Environment Science 3C - Theatre Performance 3C - Music Theatre Godspell and Grease SINCE LEAVING ROSNY: I was privileged to be accepted into VCA and NIDA at the end of my year 12. I chose NIDA and completed my Batchelor in Performing Arts graduating 2009. Went on to act as Chadara in Spartacus Series two in New Zealand 2011, Ricky Sharpe in Home and Away (Ch.7) 2012-2016, during which time I won a Logie for Best New Talent in 2014.

And finally worked in the home state in 2019, playing Jacqueline in Rosehaven season 4. My debut short film RILEY is currently in Post Production and about to film my second short film here in Tasmania. HOW DID ROSNY HELP YOU WITH YOUR PATHWAY? I found the schools high standards (particularly for me in Performing Arts) great preparation for Drama School and the work force beyond.

03.01.2022 The Rosny College Musical Project 2020 Scenes from Wicked The Rosny College Musical is a highly regarded and anticipated event each year. As Covid 19 hit Tasmania just over half way through our rehearsal process our staff and students were devastated to be forced to halt production. Thankfully with the return to school late Term 2 we were able to regroup our cast, crew and costume team and with close work with the UTAS Conservatorium of Music Team The Rosny Musical Proje...ct was born to fill the gap and ensure our students could still gain experience and assessment in their chosen field. On Friday afternoon students worked on stage and behind the scenes to present polished musical theatre songs and scenes. This was presented in-house to a small audience for assessment purposes only due to covid restrictions. Thank you to everyone for pulling together to make this learning opportunity possible. Due to the combined effort over 70 students were able to gain assessments and TCE points across a range of UTAS, TASC and VET courses. It was also wonderful to see the students performing in our theatre again after what has been a tough year for them all as well as the Arts. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

02.01.2022 ***Drama*** Our Drama Foundations and 3C classes experienced a special (socially distanced) indigenous story telling performance by our AEW Cathy and Rosny Alumni Georgia n Friday. What a beautiful way to spend a lesson and learn more about engaging audiences through story telling in a range of ways. Thanks Cathy and Georgia.
