PRO ARTE ALPHEN PARK KINDERS NEEM DEEL AAN GESKIEDKUNDIGE AFSLUITING VAN SOKKER WêRELDBEKER
Oom olifant, jou reuse dier... Vyf-en-twintig Drama- en dansleerders van Pro Arte Alphen Park was verantwoordelik dat die skouspelagtige olifantpoppe in die afsluitingseremonie van die 2010 Sokker Wêreldbeker beweeg het. Hulle het lang ure dwarsdeur die winter skoolvakansie opgeoffer om by Nasrec te gaan oefen, en dit vreeslik geniet. Volgens die organiseerders was die leerders baie getrou, talentvol en voorbeeldig.
Pro Arte Alphen Park is ook baie trots op oudkunsleerder, Mia van Zyl, wat die opening en afsluitingseremonies gekoördineer het. Bekende kunstenaar en die kreatiewe regisseur, Roger Titley, wat die reuse poppe ontwerp het, sê hy het al voorheen van Mia gebruik gemaak vir die koördinering en digitalisering van sy reuse dierpoppe vir die bekende Oostenrykse dorp, Linz, se Klangwolke fees.
"Sy was fantasties en op haar gelukkigste as sy sewe dinge gelyktydig moes hanteer, soos wat die Linz werk vereis het! Mia het die opening- en afsluitingseremonie van die Wêreldbeker briljant hanteer. Met haar uitstekende opleiding by Pro Arte Alphen Park en uiters kreatiewe talent gaan ek haar vir nog groot internasionale projekte gebruik. Sy skrik vir niks nie!"

PRO ARTE ALPHEN PARK LEARNERS PARTICIPATE IN HISTORY MAKING WORLD CUP CLOSING CEREMONY
Twenty five of Pro Arte Alphen Park’s Drama and Dance learners controlled the spectacular elephant puppets during the 2010 Soccer World Cup closing ceremony. They sacrificed long hours during their winter holiday to practice at Nasrec, but enjoyed it tremendously. According to the organisers the children were dedicated, talented and exemplary.
Pro Arte Alphen Park is also proud of old art learner, Mia van Zyl, who coordinated the opening and closing ceremonies. Well-known artist and the creative director, Roger Titley, who designed the gigantic puppets, says that he has used Mia previously for coordinating and digitizing his giant animal puppets for the Klangwolke festival in the well-known Austrian town of Linz.
"She was a fantastic asset in Linz as she is happiest when multi-tasking seven things at the same time, and this is what the job requires! I used Mia mostly as coordinator on both the opening and closing ceremonies - she did brilliantly. With her excellent education at Pro Arte Alphen Park and her creative skills I am going to use her for other big international projects. Nothing scares her!"
