** BREAKING NEWS **

  

  • 20th September 2011 - Well I hope that everyone had a great summer and that you are all back into the swing of things. Last Thursday saw the auditions for our next show - Camp Rock. The standard of auditions was exceptionally high and the judging panel were extremely impressed. Jan ( our pianist ) and her husband Perry who were on the panel said that the talent that we had within the group was very impressive and this should make for an amazing show. Jan also commented on the very high standard of singing - insisting that the songs should sound fabulous this year ( no pressure on me teaching the songs then ). Joining Jan and Perry on the audition panel was Arlee ( Arlee was a lead in last year's production of Footloose ) and we welcome Arlee with open arms as our Choreographer. Arlee has a great deal of performing and dance experience, having competed in the All England National Finals in Dance on several occasions, and has also performed with several local theatre groups most recently taking a part in We Will Rock You in Kettering. I was also privileged to be on the panel this year and it was a delight to hear a diverse choice of songs and all sung with great accuracy - I am thrilled to be the vocal coach again this year and cannot wait to get started teaching the cast all the enegergetic songs. We look forward to this Thursday to discover who has been cast in the different parts.

  • 15th May 2010 - This Thursday our members had a taster of Stage Combat, learning simple punching and slapping techniques. This gives members an insight into how the world of Stage Combat works, and hopefully an appreciation of just how much work goes into a single fight scene for the theatre or film industry. A snippet of members practicing can be found on our YouTube channel along with a very short demo of putting just 3 moves together.
