Battle of the Classes
[Thu 08/09/2011 10:20:08]
The Australasian College Broadway challenged its students to a night of competition at the inaugural ‘Battle of the Classes’, raising funds for charity in the process.
Held throughout August, the concept saw students judged by an external panel of industry representatives on hair, makeup, costumes and the overall performance of their models on the catwalk stage.
Seven classes competed in the Battle of the Classes, with each developing a specific theme with only a $100 budget - finding inspiration from fashion editorials, movies, and designers.
“The Industry can look forward to some very talented individuals about to hit the market. Students performed routines wearing Lady GaGa inspired costumes, circus outfits with 1920’s inspired hair, freak shows, robot outfits and much more,” said Maureen Houssein-Mustafa OAM, Executive Chairman and Founder of Australasian College Broadway.
“The aim of the night was to give our students something to compete for and to understand the importance of giving back to the community, which is something we impress greatly as part of our college culture. The opportunity to donate to a charity that was meaningful to the class was inspiring and helped keep students engaged with their eye on the prize. The winning class was able to donate funds to CanTeen, which offers support, information and resources to young people living with cancer,” she added.
Each performing class was scored on individuality and best technique by guest judges Cameron Pine, Editor of INSTYLE, De Lorenzo Representative Deborah French and Aveda Representative Yolande Castles.
The prize for the winning class, the ticket sales from the night which totalled over $1,000, was donated to the student group’s charity of choice.
