Daniel Fowler, Year 7, had a very successful time at the Taunton Festival of the Arts (Drama) recently. Daniel was awarded Best Actor of the Festival overall, for which he received the Hilda Chapman Memorial Cup.
Daniel won the inaugural Taunton Young Theatre Performer Competition (Junior), with its prize of £100, for which he performed a monologue by Rudyard Kipling and two poems, one each by Brian Patten and William Wordsworth.
In addition, Daniel won both the Year 7 and Under Solo Acting, and Year 7 and Under Verse Speaking classes, taking home the Fellgett Shield and Margaret Way cup respectively. Daniel was awarded a distinction in the Sixth Form and Under Shakespeare Acting class for his portrayal of Puck from A Midsummer Nights Dream.
This finishes a week in which Daniel passed LAMDA Grade 4 Solo Acting with distinction.
