Friday afternoons starting 6th May Tap Dancing for grown-ups and young children! With qualified teacher, David (DDI), the weekly classes start after Easter. These are intended for exercise and enjoyment - not certificates!
Thursdays 7 - 8:30 pm, starting 3rd March Drama sessions with Evelijn van Brandenberg (British Actors’Equity since 1985). a mixed level adult class, £5 per session. 'Drama workshops should be fun, based on discovery and recognition. Using improvisation and motivational exercises we discover the connection between body language and emotion, the power of our presence in a space and how to convey an imaginary situation (acting) to an audience. Drama is not just ‘saying the lines’, it is about reaching and moving the audience, mirroring the human condition. ‘The play is the thing’, should not be the primal motivation in teaching drama, but rather; how do we express our emotions on a stage, and how do we learn to concentrate so that we move the audience.' Evelijn studied both traditional theater and various ‘American Method’ based acting techniques, in addition she studied directing and dance. She has been teaching drama since 1993 and has developed her own teaching methods. She hopes to be starting children/youth classes soon. For more information: evelijn.act@gmail.com or 07982 446620. While its not necessary to book it would be nice to know of your intention to attend.
Creative Writing with Sophia McDougall
Sophia McDougall is the author of the bestselling Romanitas trilogy, set in a world where the Roman Empire never fell. The first two volumes, Romanitas and Rome Burning, were published by Orion and were both shortlisted for the Sidewise Award. The entire trilogy will be published by Gollancz in the spring of 2011. She is now working on a novel for children. Elements of Creative Writing In this introduction to the craft of writing, we will explore such fundamentals as beginnings, plot, conflict, character, scene-setting and mood. Through instruction, practical, inspiring exercises, and short assignments, you will learn the skills to breathe life into your stories. Writing in Progress A discussion group for writers embarking on longer projects such as novels and novellas, memoirs and plays. Students will be encouraged to submit an extract from their work to the group by email before each session, (alternatively you may read aloud from your work, or discuss notes and plans and any areas of difficulty). You will receive feedback and advice from Sophia and members of the group. Share your work with other writers in a creative, supportive environment. Both classes will be small to ensure a focused, intimate setting for discussion. For more information please email sophializa@another.com.
