So you love
performing?
Well, they do say life is a stage. Want to take your love of
performance further, but think you have to go to the
The Anita Cumming School of Drama and Performance has opened
in
Develop different techniques, gain drama skills, gain
confidence and knowledge about the industry all in a supportive,
non-threatening, fun environment.
Classes are available for all ages, from 5 years to adult.
Lights, camera and action! Take
2010!
Wow! What a great year 2009 was for drama. Some may say that
2009 was a bit of an act! We finished the year off with... cheese rolls and
meat pies. Long story - Father Christmas didn't want any more fruit cake and
was in hiding. However the day was saved and it was cheese rolls and meat pies
all round... just for Santa (yes, that was our
combined classes’ end of year performance theme)! The students overwhelmed me with their
achievements, as did parents, who turned up in droves to a packed theatre, and
I thank them for their ongoing support. It was a pleasure to see students grow
in ability and confidence over the term, with some students already gaining
paid acting work over the holidays! Yes, professionals ALREADY, let's hope it
doesn’t go to their heads. With many more opportunities in 2010, it is set to
be another exciting year.
Speaking of which, this year I will be running the same
classes, from 5 years of age through to adult classes, with a smaller advanced
class for school-aged students to develop more improvisation skills and
character work in a more intense and focused way, with opportunities for public
performance. Also available is one on one tuition, and look out for Fun With Dance classes beginning during the year.
All classes are limited in numbers, so that students are able
to gain as much as they can from the hour. Once again, during each term we will
work toward a performance. Spaces are filling up, so to ensure your place
please contact me ASAP.
I am also able for life coaching, so please contact me for
more details on that!
Mark Casson (http://www.actup.co.nz) will
also be writing plays for us once again – his expertise as a professional
playwright provides us with international-quality when it comes to the scripts
that we work with.
Myself? Well this year is a busy one, and what other way
would I have it? Of course I will be teaching all of the drama classes here,
but I will also be lecturing in drama at the
So with that said and done, I wish you a great year.
Remember, life is a stage, so act on it!
That's a wrap people!
