Brrrrrrrr

Well despite the Generalitat closing all schools in Barcelona on Thursday afternoon due to the phantom snow scare, kids still turned up for Thursday's Drama Factory class. Hurray!

We played Mood Party and laughed a lot!

Then we moved on looking at personal characteristics such as lazy, dizzy, super positive and playing those characteristics while following simple objectives.

A simple shoe shop became a very vibrant shop with some very peculiar customers and shop keepers!!

Next week we will start to look at a play I have in mind for our summer show.

Wrap up now.....that phantom snow may well be coming....

October classes to begin

Hello all!

I hope you have all had a great holiday and rest, and are raring to go to begin the 2011 2012 year at The Drama Factory. I have been editing a video of our last few shows, and will hang it up in the next couple of days.

Until then DF members!

Best wishes and can´t wait to see you all in October!

Fantastic Mr Fox

The Monday group (younger group) did a wonderful performance of their own adaptation of Roal Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox.

Mask Work last term

A few images from the Thursday (older) group, who showed their masked Commedia Dell'Arte project work work. We worked on various stock characters from the Italian Commedia Dell'Arte including, Il Capitano, El Dottore, Arlecchino and Pantalone. Well done group!

Great fun was had by all.

News

Hi all, it's been a while since I updated the page, due to being super busy.

The Monday class is doing really well and we are thinking about what we can do for our spring project. We have a new student, so welcome Sammy!!!

Thursday's group are also doing really well, and we have been working on status games and master servant improvisations. As the hour goes by so quickly we are discussing the possibility of extending the class by half an hour. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Hope you are all well and good bye January!

Ideas for Thursday Group!

Hello again!

Students in the Thursday group, please feel free to write to me with any ideas or activities you have that you would like to do in the class. If you can write them to me at info@thedramafactory.com before Thursday's class, but no later than 15.00 on any Thursday,

I will try and incorporate it into the class, either for this week, or next.

Sometimes it feels like we always run out of time during class time. This way, I can hear your ideas and plan them into the class without losing valuable class time.

Also please put your thinking caps on for our Christmas show. Any ideas are very welcome.

I will see you all this afternoon.

Until then!

Sophie

OFF TO FLYING START!

It was great to meet those new students, and welcome back the old!
The first class was great fun and we are all getting to know each other. Can't wait for next week.

If any of you have any particular ideas you would like to share for the Christmas project, do please add your comments.

Very exciting news, Josephine (Thursday group student) acted in a film called 'I want to be a Soldier?' http://sitgesfilmfestival.com. It premiered last night at The Sitges film festival, unfortunately due to a fever, I couldn't go, but thank you so much for inviting me and well done Josephine! Bet you felt dead proud! I know I do!

Until tomorrow, for the Thursday group! For more fun and drama!
