SEND Santa Family Experience!
We had a fantastic time working with our friends at the Art Cafe Sunderland piloting our SEND Santa Family Experience. We wanted to create a festive experience to bring the Christmas magic to life for families that needed a more tailored experience. We would like to thank our community company members who have supported the festive events at the Art Cafe as well to Su and Anthony for giving their all to make this magical event.
SEND Santa Family Experiences will be back again next year and we aim to make them even better!
Atlas Theatre Company CIC have been exploring Aesop's Fables!
REDBY ACADEMY
On the 5th of December our Drama club at Redby Academy presented their work to their grown ups! Telling the story of The Ant and the Grasshopper.
We explored the use of ensemble in story telling practiced projecting and clarity of voice and worked on performing with confidence in front of an Audience! We even had a visit from the Atlas Community Theatre Company who have also been working on their own telling of Aesop's Fables!
ATLAS COMMUNITY THEATRE COMPANY
On the 7th and 8th of December our Community Theatre Company performed Aesop's Fables to a sold out audience! The production was adapted and directed by Holly - Rose Kneller telling the story of an amateur dramatic group coming together to produce their latest performance... they were hoping for something gritty, something serious... Pride & Prejudice, perhaps? ... Of Mice and Men, maybe?
However, they were slightly disappointed to be stuck putting together a selection of classic Aesop stories. With a disgruntled Elizabeth Bennett wannabe, as Mob Cat 3; to a less then energetic Hare. All led by their enthusiastic director John! did the company succeed?
