This is Peterborough - The Improvised Soap-Opera BEGINS and the Old Still

Well...

Here we go... We've got the improvisors, the venue, the committee, the marketing ideas. Let's begin!!

Last week I went to Hampton Hargate to meet up with the HATS group once more to give a mini workshop to show them what the rehearsals and the shows would be like. To my pleasure a lot of them signed-up to do the show and now we have our cast (nearly). There's just one or two that need to confirm that they can do the dates.

We've picked every Monday to rehearse and I'm just off to e-mail Paul Collings to ask him for
the rehearsal space from the 12th April onwards!! :D As soon as you know it we'll be up and running in no time!! :D

Also, on the YIC calender are three ventures we are bringing to you all with the huge help from the Old Still. It is now an art studio and gallery but they are letting me do some theatre in there as well. Last Saturday I ran an instant song creation workshop there and we had huge fun, what a fantastic group of singers we had!! Because of that success I'm planning to do a workshop there every month. The next one is 'Improvise an Entire Play Workshop' on the 24th April. No-one has signed up for it yet :( but it is early days yet!! :D

Also we are running the city's very first 'Performer's Forum'. An event where performers from the city come together and chat, network, debate and talk about the arts scene in Peterborough and what we want to see happen in the future. It is on this thursday, it's free and it'll be a laugh!!

And the last also... We are very close to confirming a new show idea that we will perform at the Old Still at the end of May. The show will be called 'Men - Inspired by Women' and it'll be a physical theatre - dance cross-over about men inspired by 10 interviews from women. It's a very interesting concept and one that we're very excited about here at YIC HQ!! :D

We'll keep you posted when some more exciting news crops up...

Over and out...
