WHAT SHOWS HAVE WE DONE TO DATE?
Last year was a real breakthrough for us, with us performing several shows at The Arena Theatre and one at The Black Country Museum. We had a superb time! Below is a list of shows we have performed.
- The Past, Present And Future
This was a project based on odes we found in The Black Country Bugle. We all took part in repeating a chanted poem and acting out sketches of other poems recited by two members.
This light hearted performance was part of a disability awareness week, held in Wolverhampton and we had a twenty minute - middle slot, between two other drama groups in the area.
We all got a real "Buzz" from the experience and our feedback given from our audience.
-Wee Yow Bin?!!
Another Black Country theme, but this time the script and support was supplied by Urban Voice Limited, who provided singing, dancing, poetry and acting for our performers.
The performance gave a real feel for The Black Country Life, with music from Slade played through out.
We also performed an adapted version at The Black Country Museum, on the request of a Dudley society, who awarded us all their own "Oscar" style trophy.
- A Good Night Out
This production was again part of a twenty minute - middle slot, shared with two other groups. The project showed nostalgic memories of fashions, music and pop stars from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's - with video footage supplied by Matt Hickinbottom.
We loved reminiscing about the past and dressing up.
-Living In A Box
Shows the plights of homeless people and we have researched this subject with people effected by the problem. Hopefully, we have covered this hard hitting issue with the sensitivity it deserves.
- Around The World In 60 Minutes
Shows a lighthearted look at holidays in England and Abroad and allows us to explore dance routines and cultures on a gentle way.
