SFS went along to St Michael's Grammar school this week. Eaglesnest Theatre ran a Workshop on Bombshells with The Penelopiad for Yr 12 Literature students, booked by their teacher, Mrs Anna Purcell (image above). The format was a combination of readings by the three presenters and discussion with the students.

The atmosphere was relaxed and inclusive. The main facilitator, Sally, was excellent in drawing out the students and threads from their comments. 

All seemed very receptive and enjoyed the experience. Teacher, Mrs Purcell said

"..it was wonderful, particularly the interactive nature asking the students what they thought, what they remembered.. what i loved was drawing out the literary/academic quality, the theory, that for most of them would not be accessible..."

Congrats to Eaglesnest on their fine work and to Anna Purcell for giving her students further perspectives on these texts.
