A popular Zombie Workshop has returned, getting local students into the Halloween spirit before the mid-term break.

Students and staff at Strode College in Street were delighted to get back to the annual workshop, which teaches students collaboration and transferable skills for the cinematographic industry, after having to cancel last year due to the pandemic.

This event concluded Colleges Weeks with an amazing show of scary costumes, flashy cosmetics and a great concert by Strode Live students.

This was an opportunity for students from Art and Graphics, Drama/Performing Arts, Media and Music to practice teamwork.

The zombie flash-mob took everyone by storm with a Michael Jackson impersonator dancing and singing to Thriller.

This was followed by a zombie make-up workshop in the Art department and then an immersive "Zombie Awakening" at the tennis court fence and the college's new mock hospital to show some apocalyptic terror.

The zombie costumes were created with SFX make-up, wax, prosthetics, costumes, plastic weapons, gelatine, facial appliances, fake blood and more.

Duncan Cameron, Strode College's Foundation Art and Design Course Manager, said: "It is not only about the fun, but about teamwork and to show our students how everything learnt during the workshop has industry progression.

"Many of our students who did this workshop in the past are currently employed at Netflix and that brings me great joy.

"There was lots of blood, collaboration, smiling and laughter, and a spontaneous round of applause for everyone's effort."

Strode College teaches a wide range of creative Vocational and A-level courses including Art and Design, Photography, Graphic Communication and Fine Art.
