Article in Metropolitan Magazine, BarcelonaHi All!<br />
<br />
<br />
We have started the term really well and I have two fantastic groups! <br />
The last two sessions have been about getting to know each other and playing theatre games.<br />
Lots of music and movement for the younger group too! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With the the older group we also played lots of games and the group's portrayal of a Swiss army knife was one of my favourites of the month so far!!! Then we moved on to making short scenes, using Edward Hopper paintings as inspiration. They did some really good work! I was amazed how well they captured the atmosphere of some of those paintings! <br />
<br />

We are coming up to the end of term performance and rehearsing like mad. The group will be performing Ted Hughes's The Tiger's Bones. This play was originally written in 1974 for the radio, but still is a poignant today as it was then. We will be performing on <b>Thursday 21st June at 19.00</b>. Students need to be at class at normal time of <b>18.10.</b><br />
I look forward to seeing you all.<br />
