DeV.

Hmmm, this does sounds interesting Well, bring all your ideas along next Tuesday... all suggestions are welcome! It's great to see we have a couple of writers interested too, looking forward to meeting you all next week!

Esmereldina

Ok, so how about we meet upstairs at 7pm in the Lord Edward pub in Christchurch... it's a fairly quiet spot, so we should be able to plot our evil dramatic plans quite nicely from there Hope that's ok for everyone, or if you have better suggestions for venues, let me know.
I'll pop into the Mill Theatre in Dundrum tomorrow to see if there can offer us any wisdom for starting off our group. Please bring any ideas/suggestions/wisdom that you may have with you too!

Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday

Just so we have idea on how many to expect, can anyone coming along please confirm?

Btw, thanks Niamh Esmereldina for organising.

Blue Soul

Hi Faceman, I've confirmed with Niamh. See you there

faceman

just some feedback for those of you who couldnt make it.

Myself, Blue Soul, Esmereldina and DeVore met last night to kick things off. We had some discussion around our interest in performing arts and what we'd like to do. It was great to meet and discuss our backgrounds, likes and dislikes.

We are going to meet fortnightly from now on, every second Thursday starting from Thursday 5th June, venue to be confirmed.

If anyone is worried about not having enough experience or too much experience, then dont be afraid! We all have mixed backgrounds and mixed levels of experience! None of us are professional actors (yet!)

The more people we can get on board the better!

Seeing as this thread was stickied and it has evolved since the first post, would it be possible to have it tidyied up or even a new thread created and stickied with the groups details etc?

Any thoughts?

faceman

Hello all, whats the plan for tomorrow night?

Blue Soul

Hi Faceman, as before, I'm free around 8ish to meet. We're still waiting on confirmation of a venue?

Hi,

Did you guys decide on a venue for tonight? I wouldn't mind getting involved but I wont be free till after 9.

dublindave20

I would'nt mind coming along either!!!

Esmereldina

Quick update: We had our second meeting yesterday, and the next one will be on July 3rd. We are taking a bit of a longer break this time, so anyone who is interested in joining, please do come along... you have lots of notice to keep the date free now! We are hoping to start some drama workshops at the next meeting too, so venue is not confirmed yet (we are hoping to sort out some rehearsal space). Everyone who came along to the first one, please come along again so we can keep this going!

dublindave20

Ok, so what sort of people are involved?
I am an actor, are there writers directors..etc involved?
How often were You talking about staging a play.. etc?

Doozie

Hey, apologies for missing the meeting, I didn't get the venue in time but I'll be there on July 3rd. I've dabbled in most aspects of amateur drama, ie. acting, set design, costume, stage managing etc so I'll be happy to just be involved. (I'm also quite good at clapping loudly from the back of a theatre)

We have really just started up but so far there are some writers and actors involved. More actors are definitely welcome. We are trying to sort out a rehearsal space at the moment, so we hadn't gotten as far as deciding how often we would stage a play! Since we are still in the initial stages of getting organised as a group, we are very much open to ideas about direction and organisation... we don't have any fixed plans as yet. Come along next time in you are interested in getting involved in any way!

Hi,

You could try the Moat Club in Naas, if that is not too far to travel. It's got a good rep.
