A huge welcome back to all of our members this September term. We’re really looking forward to seeing you again and feel excited about meeting our new dramalabbers as well.
This will be our first term at the Newstead Wood School for Girls’ drama studio. We have known Newsteads’ head of drama for some time and seen some excellent work – so we know that there is a great appetite for acting there.
Congratulations to all our actors and actresses who appeared in our shows at the end of last term. We received some excellent feedback from our audiences at Theatre 62, West Wickham. Well done to Grace Cannell who was cast as Edith in Theatre 62’s next production of Blythe Spirit. The theatre is very keen to give our members the chance to audition for future productions and we shall keep you all informed of any opportunities that come up.
ADULT WORKSHOPS.
We like to keep new ideas coming, so this month sees the start of selected drama workshops for adults. This is largely aimed at keen amateur actors and actresses living in the Borough. Like any athlete, it is a good idea to keep in training to be in good shape for any oncoming productions. The atmosphere for these workshops will be fun, informal and undaunting.
September 4th. THEATRE GAMES –
an eclectic mix of theatre games to broaden your imagination and sharpen your senses
September 25th. BUILDING A CHARACTER –
helping you to step into the shoes of any part you may be given
October 16th. IMAGINATION WORKSHOP –
explore the boundaries of your thinking in acting
October 23rd. INSTANT SHAKESPEARE –
don’t be daunted by the Bard. Helping you get comfortable with Shakespeare’s language
October 30th. DIRECTING & BEING DIRECTED –
helping you make choices as a director and as an actor
November 20th. FROM THE PAGE TO THE STAGE – finding ways of making a script come alive
November 27th. VOICE AND THE ACTOR –
how to tune up and use your voice for the stage
All are welcome to attend as many workshops as they choose.
7-10 YEAR OLDS
The energy and imagination from you all was spectacular last term. This term we promise to give you lots of new challenges individually and as a group. There is a great mix of personalities in this group and the fun just keeps on coming!
11-18 YEAR OLDS
Those of you who already attend will know that each and every one of our workshops are different. We never tell our members in advance about the subject or content of our sessions. This keeps an air of expectancy before we start and keeps everyone on their toes!
Members may expect script work, theatre games, improvisation, group work, stage fighting, themed workshops (Halloween being a big favourite), audition techniques, dramatising relevant issues and more.
New and original workshops are constantly being designed in order to strengthen our members’ techniques and stretch them imaginatively. New members are guaranteed a warm welcome and lots of fun. The best work from all actors comes when they are having a good time.
Dramalab provides a safe, encouraging and supportive environment for actors to experiment with all aspects of drama. No singing, no dancing – just acting.
Some experiments will fail, others will produce exhilarating, unexpected results. This is a safe haven to expand as a performer by pushing boundaries enabling you to maximise your potential.
Good luck everybody – enjoy the term.
Term starts the week commencing 7th.September.
See you then
