Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all!

Well done to everyone for their great performance of the Christmas show.

You all did so well, especially as we had two members ill and had last minute re castings and re writes to do.  So well done all!

I do hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and that Santa brought you all you wished for, that goes for parents too.  We still have the Kings to come! 

Unfortunately we won't be back on the 8th Jan as the floor is being re sanded, but we will see each other on the 15th.

Now, as Josh and Angel were ill, and missed being in the show, we have decided to do the show again for all, so I would like to suggest doing it again on the 15th Jan at the end of class.  

Enjoy the rest of the holidays, best wishes to you all and see you on the 15th!!!!

Josh, who dragged himself to class, even though he felt awful and in the end had to sit out.

The Christmas show

So it's official, we are moving from El Centre Moral to the new space at Carrer Mare de Due de Desamparats, in Gracia.  

We have our last lesson at the Centre Moral this Thursday 27th Nov.

Although very excited about a bigger space, a little sad to be saying goodbye to the familiar class we have had for the last 3 years.

The Christmas show.

The Christmas show presentation for friends and family will be on Thursday Dec 18th at 18.45

Using the Dr Seuss story The Grinch that stole Christmas for our inspiration, we are busy improvising, and creating our own story at the moment and it's looking rather interesting!   

More up dates later!

See you all on Thursday.

New Space!

As I have told most of you the sala that I rent for The Drama Factory is putting it's prices up in January and for the same price as the new elevated price, I have found a better place.

It is in C/ Mare de Deu dels desamparats 5 2a.  If you go to the web link www.barnatango.com and then go to the drop down menu to clases and instalaciones, you can see the photos and the map of where it is.

It is a lovely sunny room with natural light, really big, and a curtain across the mirror so the kids won't be spending all the time looking at themselves, which can be a problem in Drama class!

The entrada is a little rough looking, but I promise you the room is great, there is also a changing room, so they can put their rucksacks and shoes out of the way, and a super duper new sound system, so we can really let go!

I am hoping to start there beginning of December, but the dueños want to re-sand the floor and he is not sure when it will be finished.  I will keep you posted.  We may just start there in Jan.  Although I would like to do our Christmas show in the new space.  I am so excited about it!!!!

Mothers do not be alarmed, I have found a very nice cafe round the corner where you can hang out from 18.00 - 19.00.  

Any problems please do not hesitate to contact me.

See you all next week!

First class back

Well, the first drama class of this year went very well, it was lovely to see the old students and meet the new ones. 

We have a great group, and everyone got on so well.  The Mum's also looked like they were having a good time chatting downstairs in the cafe area.

We played lot's of fun games (some easier than others) and then created our own abstract painting, using our bodies.  See attached photo.

The last activity was working around the song Splish Splash that great rock n roll classic by Bobby Darin.

After reading through the lyrics together, (well done those who helped the little ones with their reading) we had a good old sing song, then in small groups we tried to out sing each other, it really started to rock!  

Next week we will begin improvising around the lyrics and creating little scenes around the song.  So kids don't forget to read through the lyric sheet I gave you.

If anyone has any good ideas about the Christmas show please add your comment.

Count down to 18.00 today!!!!

VERY excited about today!  18.00 class begins and I am really looking forward to meeting all our new members for the 2008-2009 year, and see last years kids too!  I bet you have all shot up, and I won't recognise you!

See you later for lots of fun games and improvisations!
