Well Done! to Inclusive group for their conference performance June 4th

Well done to Bianca on hosting one of the events at the Arena with the Dalai Lama

Three good shows from the 1013 group- Ability to concentrate and do the business when necessary is essential well done, and by the last night the 40 thieves actually got a chance to ride into and out of their cave - what a thrill!
Photos up

1013 Group in Arabian nights this week Mon-Weds. All three groups will be working together, so it might be worth the 1419s seeing this show, and the range of ability. It moves from 3rd person narration to action in role and works as an ensemble piece.

Six productions over, some comments on production page. Thank you to Roxie and Edward (& Lottie) the only members to come and support on Saturday and Sunday. There seems to be something missing in this company that needs to be learnt by all that want to be members, before we go any further. Values are everything.

Well done to Chelsi, Sophie and Claudia on their performance Friday night in Retina Springs in our Sandfield Theatre. Pity a few more of you weren't able to take up the (we made it free!) opportunity of working with professional dancers, musicians and choreographers. That's the way you pick up performance skills that can serve you in all sorts of ways.

Ceci un théåtre de jeunesse, pas d'un extrait social.

No matter how you
say it:

-Engagement-Faites-le, ne le truquez pas
-Verpflichtung-Bilden Sie es, fälschen Sie es nicht
-Impegno-Faccialo, nonlo simuli
-Comisio'n-Ha'galo, no lo falsifique
-Verplichting-merk vervalst het, het niet
The message is still the same:
-Commitment:-
Make it, don't fake it!

ARISTOPHANES-satirical, political comedy
MENANDER- Situation comedy with fixed character types
ROMAN COMEDY (Plautus & Terence)-developed Menandrine comedy and made it much more domestic
COMMEDIA DEL' ARTE-'improvised' sequence of comedy sketches based on a catalogue of recognisable character types (and masks)
STOCK CHARACTERS - A range of exaggerated character types still used in sit.com.s today.
ANAGNORISIS
- the moment of realisation/
"awakening"

CATHARSIS- the feeling of both fear and pity evoked in the audience by a good tragedy; according to Aristotle

-The Wonderful Drama of Punch and Judy -Papernose Woodensconce, esq.
-Comberbach Soul-Cakers Play-Trad. Cheshire Hallowe'en Play
