Chichester zeigt viele Talente

On the 29th of July, the IP centre in Chichester was host to its second Open Stage event of the season! Our students prepared for the evening during drama, singing, dance and arts and crafts workshops offered by their IP activity team in the afternoon. Determined to be involved, even some of the students who had been on a trip to Arundel in the afternoon came along to showcase their amazing talent!

First up were the group christened the “Snails” with their dramatic adaptation of the age-old fairytale “Cinderella”. It was wonderful to see how brilliantly imaginative our students were! They modernised the story, presenting a trainer as Cinderella’s glass slipper and playing James Blunt’s “Beautiful” when the prince met Cinderella at the ball “You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, it’s true!” – “Ooooh, she’s so beautiful!”

This first act was an exciting taste of what was to follow throughout the rest of the evening – our students absolutely shone! It was their night and they really made the most of it! They had all worked very hard to prepare their pieces and this definitely showed on the night! They also did a fantastic job of involving other students (and often members of the IP activity team, too!) in their acts, especially the now famous (at least within the walls of IP centres!) Ding-A-Dong dance!

The “Penguins” were another group which showed their loyalty to IP with the “Gut Drauf” lines in their version of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” – Snow White’s stepmother beseeched her daughter to return to her: “Please come back to me! What are you eating with those dwarves? Chips, cola – that’s not healthy! Even if you don’t come back home, do yourself a favour and live a good life – eat fruit!” Sadly for our Snow White, the apple her stepmother gave her provided her with vitamins she had denied herself for a long time by eating too much fast food with the dwarves, and she collapsed as a result of this. However, there was a happy ending to this tragic tale and Snow White was soon revived, much to the delight of her prince!

Another special mention has to be given to the students who prepared something by themselves. Alessio stunned his audience with his massive musical talent, delighting all his listeners with his renditions of not one but two very challenging pieces! Philipp offered a breath-taking Kung Fu demonstration with impressive high kicks that left everyone shaking in their boots and hoping they could stay in his good books! “Project Llama” was equally entertaining – a small group of students had dressed themselves up in blankets and walked around town taking photos of each other doing different things, such as “Llama call llama”, “Llamas in Top Shop”, “Llama buy map”, “Llamas spat too much”, the latter being followed by “Police like llamas”. We all almost fell off our chairs, we were laughing so hard!
