A hallmark year for drama , music and visual art
At Crofton House the creative arts bring us together as a community , enrich our lives and give our girls wonderful opportunities to express themselves . Each year , there are always many special moments . A few from 2015 – 2016 are :
• On the stage , it was a momentous year for both the Junior and Senior Schools . Taking to the stage , 130 girls participated in the Junior School ’ s production of Disney ’ s The Lion King Junior , while 25 Senior School actors brought Bryony Lavery ’ s Treasure Island to life . Both productions , which involved partnering with talented boys and young men from St . George ’ s School , delighted their audiences and demonstrated the talent that lives at Crofton House .
• In the realm of music , Crofton House proudly welcomed the broader community of Metro Vancouver for the Voices of Girls and Women Spring Choral Concert , a benefit fundraiser for the Downtown Eastside Women ’ s Centre . With talented singers and moving performances , it was a musical celebration that will be fondly remembered by participants and music-lovers alike .
• On the visual art front , CHS was honoured to be given the opportunity to work with the Vancouver Biennale BIG IDEAS in-School program . Exploring how art can influence social change , students from grades 4 , 7 , 11 and 12 worked together with art teachers , professional artist Adrian Walker , representatives from the Vancouver Biennale organization and Aboriginal herbalist T ’ uy ’ tanat-Cease Wyss to construct an on-campus installation in The Woods .
