WELL DONE TRANSFORMERS!!!!

A big congratulations to you all for the Transformers work which you showed today - I saw the 1100 and 1500 versions, and could clearly see that each company had continued to work on their products throughout the day...
The Head of Department saw the 1500 and was impressed with the quality of what you showed and the blending of the production and performance elements of each show.

I'm mailing my feedback to Vanessa and Jo Loader, but wanted to post here to big you all up!

Please remember I'll be with you Monday morning at 10, and that you have a Focus group for an hour on Tuesday afternoon at 1400 with the Head of Department.

Well done all!

Lisa :)

FOCUS GROUP WITH THE HEAD OF DEPARTMENT!!

Hi all,

If you look at your google calendar you'll see that we have booked a focus group for you with the Head of Department on Tuesday 24th November - it's really important that you're there, to have your voices heard, and to show what's great about your course as well as what you'd like to be improved.


The focus group will take place at 1400 , and we will let you know where nearer the time.

THANKS!

L & V

The Climate Change Theatre Action project.

Hello Vanessa.

Thank you for making contact about Climate Change Theatre Action at ONCA! Sorry we haven't manged to speak on the phone yet. 
There is a collection of short plays (up to about 5 minutes long) available to prospective participants here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nci2tkc72iy2j51/AADOOjAJhve1GNMbPxuAWu-Ja?dl=0

They are very varied - some are humorous, some poetic, some abstract - and they cover a range of topics - from ice to refugees to biodiversity loss and fairness.

Here is a breakdown of the themes, cast size etc:

Have a read and let me know if you are interested in working on any of these. It would be great to have you/ the students look at one or some of the plays with slightly larger casts (3 parts or more) - most participants have made contact as individuals so will probably be looking at the pieces for solo performers. 

It's all going to be happening on Sunday December 6th at ONCA in Brighton.

Also, FYI, here is the Climate Change Theatre Action press release with lots more info about the project: http://nopassport.org/climate-change-theatre-action

Good wishes and thanks again for your interest,
