Rose Bay students inspired by Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh

DRAMA students at Rose Bay High School were recently given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade from acclaimed British actor Adjoa Andoh.
Best known for her role as the formidable Lady Danbury in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, Ms Andoh has also played lead roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, the Royal Court Theatre and the Almeida Theatre.
Ms Andoh addressed a whole-school assembly before leading a drama workshop with a select group of students from Rose Bay and Rosny College.
Rose Bay High student Tarni said the experience was one she would never forget.
“It was really exciting to meet a professional actor and learn first-hand skills,” she said.
“The vocal exercises have been especially good because we need to speak a lot in front of people and be very loud and confident when doing so.
“Adjoa is a wonderful actress and it’s been amazing to learn from her and aspire to be there myself one day.”
Rose Bay principal Joel Doyle said the school was honoured to host such a renowned performer.
“Our students were extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity to learn from Adjoa,” he said.
“We’re so appreciative that she gave up her time to share her skills and experience.”
Ms Andoh was in Hobart visiting a friend she met in London who has since moved back to Tasmania.
While in town, she also performed in a celebration of Shakespeare at Hobart’s Playhouse
Theatre, a fundraiser for the Hobart Repertorwy Theatre Society.
