Josh Dann looking for volunteers for event


Hi V,

Just messaging to see if any of the first years are interested in being part of this experience I’m doing on the 6th of june. Its for a massively covered event in Brighton and they have asked me to get actors to
1) usher guests in
2)interact with guests prior to the main event
3)usher guests to stage
4)Perform outside of venue as ring leaders and mad hatters
5)perform at the after show party

The theme is twisted circus, how ever I’ve got them excited to do it in a mad hatter style.

Im looking for as many actors that i can get that are comfortable with interacting with audiences and are also fairly good at improvisation.

The event is next top model and the final in Brighton hilton hotel. The lady running it has also asked to see if Northbrook have any costumes that would fit this for them to wear and to get the make up department in, she is going to credit Northbrook for everything they do, as well as give full references and sign off as work exp.

Is there anything we can do?

Thank you

Josh

The Little Prince

Thank you to those that made it to Brighton to support second years and The Little Prince. They have had a great review in the Argus.

information on this week and next!

Thanks to all of you who worked so positively and offered feedback so generously and thoughtfully to each other today.

Tomorrow ( wednesday) you will all need to be in, rehearsing with Rapture (as you requested). This will be at the Durrington Campus.

Thursday, again at Durrington, you have a movement workshop with Dan Ford.

Friday is your study day, although there should be space if you want to come in and find studios to work on your physical/vocal pieces for next week's assessments, or to rehearse with Rapture if called.


From Monday, you should be at the Durrington Campus everyday. We are hoping to get Ryan to act as outside eye for your assessment pieces on Monday, and then on Tuesday, we will do the assessments: voice in the morning, and physical in the afternoon.
I will post the times later, but expect to be warming up from 0930 on Tuesday morning.

Remember that you will need to be appropriately attired in rehearsals blacks, introduce your piece by Play, author and character, and consider your relationship with audience.

You can refer to the guidance I posted on this blog a few weeks ago, and to the assessment criteria on the project brief. Any questions? come and see me or e mail me!

Wednesday will be rapture rehearsals, and performances on the Thursday and Friday.

The following week we will do wrap up tutorials with you all, and of course you can come and support Jake in his performances which are on the Tuesday and Wednesday. We will post Tutorial times and dates nearer the time.

thanks,

Lisa & Vanessa

Next week, and tomorrow!

Hi all,

Next Week ( Tuesday)
Just a reminder that you will need to have learnt more of your monologues, more of the sonnet ( ideally all of the lines for both!!), and watched the King Lear extract from digital theatre before Tuesday morning's session.
Remember that I'm being observed - not you! so you don't need to stress - the observer will be looking at how my teaching practice helps you, not at how you are doing on your monologues.
Please take time to look at your voice exercises on the blue sheets that I gave you the session before last, and bring them with you to Tuesday's session.

We might have a section where we get some of you to speak some of your monologue to the group  and then we give feedback - a bit like what we do with the physical pieces in the afternoon, so have a think about what you are prepared to show from your monologues or if you would like to have a go at the sonnet.

Tomorrow (Friday)
 If you fancy having your make up done for a night out , or just want to experience a make over, for the sum of only £5, you can book a session with our FdA Make Up & Hair students tomorrow afternoon, they are fundraising for their final exhibition. E mail their course leader Amanda, on a.burns@nbcol.ac.uk. Or just turn up to the studio and see if they have a free slot!

On Thursday you have an acting workshop to help with your audition pieces and then you are free to go to Brighton, look at venues and come and see the Little Prince in the evening. See you there.
