The Blog, The Blog, The Blog...

Oh dear, my beautiful people how I have neglected this space of expressionism and reflection. Essentially, I've not done the blog for a while! I must apologise for this immensely and so much has been going on, I'm taking this break to tell the world what we've been doing.

Romeo and Juliet as you've never seen it before! That's what we're trying to do and tomorrow the script is being written and the scenes you have already created being slotted into it. Some of the physical theatre being used in the scenes is simply amazing, the likes of which we have not witnessed at TYA before and I am very proud! If the play is anything like the work that is being produced now, it will be incredible. However, the dead line has been set and dedicated readers you may know it here first. The play will go up in seven sessions time! I know, the excitement is incredible, as is the creeping scene of dread, though I have absolute faith in all of us!

On a slightly different note, I must apologise again, this time for the lack of media up here. Though photo's and video's have been taken, the cable has been lost, so you may have to wait for these just a little while longer. So, until next time, goodbye, and stay safe!

Exciting New Times!

So this week we tried some thing that neither Geoff or Me had ever tried! Well several things in fact! We stepped into a giant computer and travelled back and forward in time looking at different images to gain inspiration! Well, that was the idea! The work created was once again excellent, with a script being created in a matter of seconds by you guys! Good work!

Improvisation Madness!

This week was all about improvisation as we looked at exploring different themes in the play with improvisation. After a little encouragement we all got into it and had another great session and sowed the seeds for the next one. Enjoy guys!

The Impossible Machine

So, creating an impossible machine was one of the main parts of this week's session and this was the machine as a work in progress. I think you'll all agree just how good it looked!

Chanel Advert

So, we are thinking about adding a section on things we like and this is the first of the posts. Check out the advert again if you like and have a think about what makes it so good!

Adverts all Round

This week starts with a video. We have to thank Callum for this as it is brilliant, I think you'll all agree. The week was yet another good one, if I do say so myself and we had some brilliant pieces of work created by all of you lot. The adverts were simply amazing and we were very impressed by them and I'm looking forward to continuing them next week! Unfortunately, due to the slightly forgetful mind I possess, there were no photo's taken! However, this brilliant video should do nicely until next week and keep your creative juices flowing!

Romeo and Juliet

So, after the mystery of what we were going to be doing this term finally solved with Romeo and Juliet being the answer, the first piece of real drama got under way. We created prologues and film trailers using the prologue in Romeo and Juliet as inspiration. The wide variety of work created was not the only stunning thing though, with the quality of work being fantastic.

Also, this week herald the start of a new direction for TYA as we were asked to do a radio play. With the writing of the script already taking place, it promises to be a brilliant term!
