A new year, a new term.

2009-01-12T05:39:00.000-08:00

First of all, happy new year and welcome back for term 2 to one and all!

The time has come! We are putting on our very first weekend show. This year's production is The Winter's Tale and will be rehearsed and performed on Weekend 2 of Term 2.

For those of you who want to be involved in the chorus, please come along to the workshop rehearsals on SATURDAY 17TH JANUARY AND SUNDAY
18TH JANUARY, 10am - 6pm in B2 13/14, in preparation for the performance on the
Sunday night at 7pm.

And for those of you who prefer an audience role, join us on the the piazza steps, wrapped up in your warm winter coats and hats, to enjoy acomplementary cup of hot chocolate and watch as our bunch of weekend show stars deliver a first-class performance of The Winters Tale that's completely FREE! The show is only an hour
long, but to warm your cockles afterwards, we invite you to join the Shakespeare Society for a drink at Varsity from 8pm.

TWELFTH NIGHT

ShakeSoc's next performance is going to be an adaptation of Twelfth Night,
performed in Leamington Spa on 27th February. We are currently looking for an
assistant producer for the show. Previous experience is not necessary, so for anyone
who is looking to get involved with what goes on behind the scenes for a performance, this is the perfect opportunity! If you're interested, please email Nick
Collins (Producer) at njscollins@gmail.com.

WORKSHOPS

If anyone has any requests/ideas about workshops youd like us to run (or if you've got an idea for a workshop that you're interested in leading) please let us know by emailing Max.Archer@warwick.ac.uk.

That's all for now, more to come next week!

Next Workshop

2008-10-28T02:14:00.001-07:00

Thanks to everybody who came to the social in Leam last week - it turned out to be a great night.

Following on from this, our first workshop is this Wednesday. Emma's sent out emails to all the members (if you haven't joined yet, click here to do so) with the details, which are as follows:

Wednesday 29th October, from 5-6pm in R0.14 (Ramphal).
A brilliant opportunity to find out more about alternative ways to perform, direct or produce Shakespeare. It's also a great way to meet new people! Straight afterwards, there'll be a 'How to put on a Warwick show' workshop, where we will have a few old hands coming in to discuss all aspects of putting on a show, from how you sort your finances, to how to be a producer, to tips on how to turn a script into something original and motivate your cast.

We hope to see a lot of you there!

Love,
the Exec
