DRAMA FESTIVAL 2004

As I’m sure you are aware, the Drama Festival has been a great tradition of Dominican College for many years. This year however, we are giving the Festival a makeover! A “Celebration of the Arts” will take place over a weekend, with workshops on Saturday 19^th June from 9.30am to 5.30pm and Sunday 20^th June from 2pm with a performance and display for parents and friends at 3pm.

All pupils in Years 8 and 9 will have the opportunity to participate in a workshop of their choice. There are SIX workshops to choose from:

Hip Hop Dancing (may initially open to boys only)

Pop Video and Modern Dance

Acting

Sound and Lighting Design

Costume and Set Design

Stage Make Up

These workshops really are a unique opportunity to explore an area of the Drama in more detail and to learn and gain new skills. The workshop leaders are professionals and experts in their field and the final performance and display promises to be exciting, innovative and entertaining. In addition to the new skills and experiences the young people will gain, they will also receive a certificate of participation on completion of the workshop.

I would strongly encourage all the young people to seize this opportunity and use the workshops to learn more about Drama particularly in an area they have not had a chance to participate in before.There is a small charge for £8 to help offset the costs involved in running the workshop weekend. All participants are asked to provide their own packed lunch on the day of the workshops.If you give your permission for your young person to attend these workshops, please complete the form overleaf and return it to me with payment by 4^th June 2004.
