gay theatre

We recently did a seminar on either Gay, feminist or black theater. I chose to do mine on gay and found loads of information that I had never come across before. For instance through doing this project I have come to realize that Gay theater is very rare now and has become part of everyday theater and is no longer classed as a genre of its own. I also discovered the Dublin Gay theater festival which promotes old and new pieces of Gay theater once a year for a week. I am hoping to go to this festival next year as it seems interesting and fun.

Our new Project..... TENS

for our next project we are directing in pairs. Lloyd and I have decided to work together and have had many ideas ranging from banana wrestling to evil clowns. We have started to work around the idea of the perfect image showing how stupid and consuming it can become. we have started to create images in our head that we think could be used. for example the idea of make-up turning them into clowns and anorexia being a school lesson. Lloyd has also written some short extracts of script that we are working around to help base on piece.

Barcelona!!!

From 8th of Feb to the 11th of Feb my class went on a cultural trip to Barcelona. during our stay there we explored many of the min attractions and on several occasions got lost!
One of my favorite places that we explored was Park Guell. It was designed by Gaudi and is considered to be one of his best work. I enjoyed this particular adventure as although there were many tourists enjoying the sites it is obviously a major part of the culture and is enjoyed by the locals.
Barcelona was a great experience and i wouldn't have changed anything about it. i would love to go again and explore more of its magnificent sites and culture.

Community Focus Project

Our new topic at uni is to devise a piece with the community focus clients from the arts depot. we have been working on many different ideas and so far we have decided to devise a piece on a story line of 'superheros in rehab'.

I have to admit I was nervous to be working with the clients as I was unsure how the sessions would work but after meeting them and doing a few workshops I am more then comfortable with them and cant wait for our next session.
