Lord what fools these mortals be...

Hi Mums and Dads and fellow Drama Factory members.  Sorry I couldn't be there at class last week, I had an amazing time in Belgium at the International Storytelling Festival in Alden Biesen.  I stayed in castle!  Can you imagine!  I hear you all had a good time with Tom though.

As most of you already know, this term we will be working on scenes from A midsummer Night's Dream and other famous fairies like Ariel from The Tempest.  I guess we did enough of science last term, this term we need a little magic and fairy dust to sprinkle on our dreams!!

Also just to remind you all that there will be class this Thursday 29th April I know some of you don't have school, but we will be doing class. 

Until then.  I leave you with a picture of the beautiful castle I stayed in.

Wow! What a show!

I am so proud of you all!  

I thought you all did so well yesterday.  Well done!

Thanks mums and dads for coming and giving your support, and glad you all enjoyed it.   If anyone has any nice photos to send, please send them to info@thedramafactory.com

Don't forget there will be class next week, our last this term, that Tom will be taking.  Sorry I won't be able to be there but King Arthur calls again.

I will see you all next term.  Once again, well done!!!!  And thank you so much for the beautiful flowers!!!

End of Term Show!

Oh the nerves are mounting!!! Tonight is our end of term show Welcome to our Universe show starts at 18.30.  

We look forward to seeing you all then!  Wish us luck!

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.

Sophie

See you all next week!
