HAMILTON cast visit Granville South Creative and Performing Arts High School

Members of the cast of HAMILTON the musical paid an entertaining and unforgettable visit to Granville South Creative and Performing Arts High School on Friday, 25 October. They provided our Ensemble students with a unique opportunity to learn first-hand how to develop character on stage, and to strengthen their skills in acting, dance, and song, enhancing their expressiveness and artistic growth.

The day also featured visits from very special guests, including John Kennedy, NSW Department of Education Director of Educational Leadership; Hon Jason Clare MP, Minister for Education; Julia Finn MP, State Member for Granville, Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier and for the Arts; and Ola Hamed, Cumberland Council Mayor.

   

After our Senior Executives and School Captains warmly greeted the guests outside the school gates, the day commenced with a morning meet-and-greet between the students, special guests, and seven current members of the Australian HAMILTON musical cast: Tainga Savage, Ashton Lash, Emmy Saheki, Julian Kuo, Lachlan Dearing, Iosefa Laga’aia, and Indigo Hunt. This was followed by two focused workshops, where students from Years 7 to 12 in our Ensemble program were taught invaluable performance skills by the professional cast members. The day concluded with a panel discussion, where students had the opportunity to ask questions directly to the musical cast members.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the cast of HAMILTON and our special guests for attending and generously sharing their professional skills and expertise with our students. Your presence and guidance have significantly contributed to the development of our students’ skills in the creative and performing arts, inspiring them to reach new heights in their artistic journeys.
