March 2010

We’ve just come to the end of our spring term which we so enjoyed despite the arctic conditions! We reckon the daffodils in our garden should definitely be up by August.

Great news for all you followers of fashion. We are unveiling our new collection of dramalab t-shirts and hoodies at the start of our summer term. No excuses for not looking cool from now on.

Well done to Jessica Ross Hicken for her lovely portrayal of ‘Daisy’ in ‘Daisy Pulls it Off’ last term at Newstead Wood School for Girls. Also well done to those members of dramalab who supported Jess in that production.

Rebekah Lucking also shone in the outstanding production of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ at Hayes School. Truly inspiring stuff.

More congratulations go to Chloe Walshe who has an unconditional offer to study drama at Exeter University. However, a few drama schools are also interested in her, quite rightly so. Well done to her. She has a bright future ahead.

The feeling at dramalab is really up-beat. The workshops have been quite challenging recently, but all our members have been really ‘up for it!’

Our aim has always been to provide a truly creative atmosphere in which our students can flourish and develop as actors and actresses. This, and more, is being achieved. Our members have stayed with us term after term and made great friendships within the workshops. Being in such creative company is worth its weight in gold.

A few of our ex members have taken their acting on into ‘the business’ and are working professionally. Others have gone on to excel in other fields. They all agree that attending drama workshops made their journey into the big wide world a whole lot easier. We’ll drink to that!
