PILLARS OF EXPRESSION: STUDENT SHOWCASE
Student artworks developed as part of the set design for Cranleigh School’s recent performance of Much Ado About Nothing directed by Jessica Nicholls.
The students explored Shakespearean themes through visual storytelling and theatrical motifs. While the play was staged at Cranleigh, this exhibition at Manarat Al Saadiyat offers the artworks a dedicated platform celebrating youth creativity and the intersection of art and theatre.
Each piece reflects the students’ individual voice while contributing to a shared narrative revealing how art, like theatre, can be both deeply personal and powerfully collective.
