Winding down (for now)

Boo! Unfortunately it’s the last week of WIP (for this term) and I’m sad. WHAT WILL I DO WITH MY THURSDAY AFTERNOONS!!  (Don’t worry I’m just exaggerating… slightly!) Anyway, since it’s the last week of WIP, the session was much more relaxed, playing games such as spacejump (get in a circle, put 2 people in the middle, improvise a scene together, someone shouts “SPACEJUMP”, replaces 1 person in the middle and changes the scene up.) .

At end though however, there was some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want first? Good or bad? Ok the bad news first! Unfortunately, Laura, our project and administration volunteer, is leaving us. *Sob*(Well not leaving us but almost… postponing working with us till a further date! You catch my drift?) We will see her eventually again however and it’s just a waiting game now! Us vs. Laura! (I jest!). But thanks Laura, for the time being, it’s been great working with you and sharing some oddly funny experiences with you. We will be awaiting more Laura!

The good news now? Of course! All the techniques, warm-ups and exercises, Tanya taught us has been compiled, by Ned, so we have them for reference for the future.  Just want to say a personal thanks to both Ned and Tanya for that! It’s going to help me a lot in my dramatic future! Also, next year, we are lucky enough to work with some of the most exciting theatre companies to devise and create original plays, which will be performed by us!! (The theatre companies are… a secret!) You will find out only if you keep following our website though!  Also, since we pay virtually nothing, we’ve got some fundraising to do! Anyone want to sponsor me to do something in the holidays? Your choice of activity? Anyone? (If anyone is serious about sponsoring however just click the contact button to find contact details.) 

Also, ever since watching Blackberry Troutface, I have wanted to write my own play about a relevant issue, which will probably be unemployment. Now, this is coming from someone who can’t stand English lessons and has never written a play in their life, so I believe this will be a real challenge for me. So wish me luck! Anyway, this will be last blog this term so to everyone who read my previous blogs, thank you! And to everyone, Merry Christmas, Season’s Greetings and have a Happy New Year! (I know it’s a bit early, but better to say it now then never!) Bye!
