NOMAD- Travelling

In the school's effort to promote the aesthetics of the pupils, NOMAD 2005 was produced. With the school acting as the stage and the theme of this year's NOMAD named 'travelling', AMKsians received this performance with great zeal and anticipation. With the performance being held on the 29th and 30th of july, the build-up to the performance begun early in the year. With different levels of pupils being assigned to different tasks like designing of tickets or press releases, everyone tackled these tasks tactfully. Rehearsals soon followed after the mid-year exams and there was a clear indication that everyone had put in a lot of effort in every bit of the rehearsals.
The first day of the performance was muchly anticipated by all the performers. Coming to school early to put on make-ups, nervousness was the word to describe most of the performer's feelings then. The visitors soon found themselves touring in a maze of wondrous visual artworks, taking their stride in Slippers and Sleepers, checking into the Terminal, playing along to the tune of Vignette of a Violin as they embarked on a suitcase journey. They also got an opportunity to try their hands at the Guns amd Tanks obstacle course, and reminisce over the Tsunami. Finally, The Fugitives at the Bus-Stop was presented in an exciting and humorous way. They also drown their cares in coffee and tea at the three Cafes, and enjoy pieces by our budding musicians in the background.
The two magical nights of performance was though tiring for the students, but it was a great success evident from the radiant faces of the audiences. With oppotunies like this NOMAD performance for the AMKsians to display their high level of aesthetics, we here in AMK believe that we can see the school developing into a high-achieving neighbourhood school but also a school with a very high level of aesthetics.
