Group of theatre of teachers
IES Mediterrània collaborates, with IES Pere Mª Orts i Bosch, LA ESCUELA OFICIAL DE IDIOMAS and the rest of secondary schools of Benidorm, in the only group of Spanish theatre (and we suspect that also in the whole world) formed exclusively by high school teachers: Tossal Teatre. This group of theatre was formed in 1992, always under the direction of the head of Spanish Language and Literature department Mr. Manuel Palazón. Some teachers of our secondary school appeared in the first plays (although they were in IES Pere Mª Orts i Bosch then), for example our former Headmistress Ms Isabel Montiel and Mr Luis González , our present Headmaster.
Teachers of the different secondary schools of Benidorm (Beatriu Fajardo, Bernat d'en Sarrià, L'Almadrava, Pere Mª Orts i Bosch, LA ESCUELA OFICIAL DE IDIOMAS and our Mediterrània), have been part of the group for the last 17 years, but it has always maintained as place of rehearsals and of premières the assembly hall of IES Pere Mª, where a total of 17 different plays have been prepared, produced and premiered , one every school year, in a literary range that goes from the classical plays of the XVIth and XVIIth centuries to contemporary ones. Teachers of different subjects of IES Mediterrània have taken part in Tossal Teatre for these years: from Physical Education to Technology ( Miss Anna Olivares , Mr José Miguel López , Miss Ariel Sancho, Mr Alberto Méndez "Tucho", Miss Antonia Varela , Miss Cristina Calvo , Miss Noelia Ferri , Miss Leonor Molina , Miss Paqui Ribes, Mr José Antonio Corral, Mr Miguel Ángel Viana, ...).
This school year 2009/10, the group is formed by several teachers of IES Pere Mª Orts i Bosch, LA ESCUELA OFICIAL DE IDIOMAS and our Mediterrània, which contributes with these teachers. That is to say:
Mr David Sabater : Music Teacher, already in his seventh staging.
Mr Nicolás Pardo : Teacher of Spanish Language and Literature and of theatre, already in his thirteenth staging.
For this year, the group has decided to set the play 'With you for ever', one of Ángel Camacho, a writer from Tenerife, in which he treats a topic of maximum current importance, television programmes are rubbish . The premiere will probably take place at the end of the first term in the IES 'Pere M.ª Orts i Bosch' assembly hall. In the second term we will put it in scene in the multiuses room of our institute in order to see it, and on May, in the assembly hall of Benidorm's CAM in the XII Theatre's Festival.
