We have had a very exciting term starting new plays and projects.
Romeo and Juliet is already set up to the interval and is looking really very dynamic indeed, with guest teachers from the industry coming into teach specialist areas of dance and stage fighting!
Stepping Out, again is already looking very authentic and the adults in this group have tackled tap dancing admirably, many never having danced a step before!
Mary Poppins with our ‘Robin Group’ is looking beautiful with some of the main numbers set and it is already bringing a tear to the eye. Two of our younger students are playing Jane and Michael with our ‘Robins’ playing the adult roles. We will be performing this at the Hippodrome Theatre on the 5th July and it will open our Summer Show.
Our youngest children’s version of ‘Oliver’ with 5 of the original songs from the musical, is all set and the students are working very hard to polish it ready for the performances on the 5th/6th December to parents, families, friends and at a local nursing home. This is going to be very heart warming indeed! To reserve seats for the 5th December at EODS. Please just let Becky know how many seats you need. Tickets are £5, pay on the door.
Please note that the Friday home ed group will come to rehearsals with the Wednesday group to merge both groups together for this production, on Wednesday 27th November 4.40pm-5.40pm and Wednesday 4th December 4.40pm-5.40pm. On the 5th December, all children in OLIVER, will need to arrive at 4.40pm to get ready and run through the performance, before the show. Parents can arrive from 5.30pm for the performance at 6pm. We will be providing Christmas refreshments. The performance at the Claremont Nursing Home is at 5pm on the 6th December, please arrive in costume by 4.45pm. Thank you
Our forth coming performances of the ‘Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe’ on the 23rd November 2pm/7pm and the 24th November at 5pm are looking stunning, this cast of adults and children and young people are working so hard. You are in for a pre Christmas treat. Tickets are available from ‘The Grove Theatre’ website. https://www.groveeastbourne.com/events/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/
We are excited to start our new National Theatre Connections play ‘Mia and the Fish’ , this coming term, with our teenage and young adult students, some from the Robin group, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
This coming term, term 2, is a 7 week term for most groups and a 6 week term for the Wednesday teenage and Thursday adult group.
From the 14th November our Thursday Adults classes will now be at Tutt’s Barn Lane dance studios.
The EODS centre now has a bell and camera installed to make the building completely secure. Please make sure you arrive in time for the start of the lesson as we will be locking the building at the start of each lesson.
