Soooo, we need lots of strapping young men (and women - don't let a little hard work put you off!) to help move it from there into the Glass Room, about 15 feet away. It'll take about 10 mins, if we get enough people - so come along to Clubs & Socs at 1.30 TODAY. We love you longtime :) We also have to give out our DADAs! And elect the remainder of the committee for next year.... ....so we're killing two birds with one stone. Monday 24th, 7pm - Upstairs, The Slipper (aka Matt Weldons) We'll be having the AGM (part II), followed immediately by our annual DADA extravaganza! Have YOU been nominated? Come along and find out if you've won! The full list of categories and nominations will be in Monday's An Tarbh, emailed to the drama list AND posted on life.dcu.ie - so you can't miss them!

[Drama-alumni] DADAs & AGM pt. II - the revenge of the sh*t! (also: BICS drunkenness...)
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Ahoy Gang, As you may know, DCU Drama headed to Cork last Thursday to represent DCU in the competition for Best Society in Ireland. Unfortunately, the Gods were not smiling upon us that night, and we came away empty-handed :( Mind you, that didn't stop us from taking over the dance floor and generally going bananas around the hotel in Cork! A great night was had by all ( and more than a few hangovers suffered...) Big Ups to Style Soc, who won Best Event in Ireland for their Fashion Show, and to St Vincent de Paul who won Most Improved Society. It was a fantastic night to be a DCU student! Now, onto business... Last week's AGM was one of the more tumultuous events of the DCU Drama year! The night started at 6pm with an address by Bob and then the entire committee gave an explanation of their duties and how they felt they fared in their efforts throughout the year. Most of us were happy with our progress! Following that, there were a few constitutional changes proposed, namely the creation of the committee positions of Training Officer and Set Manager. This led to a lively and heated debate with many members offering their two cents. The upshot of all that was that the position of Training Officer was created, while the debate over Set Manager was postponed until our EGM next October. Then the moment we all were waiting for....the election of the new committee! Unfortunately, the previous debate ate up a lot of time. The elections didn't start until about 7.20pm! There were three candidates for Chair - Stephen Grimes, John Cannon and Ashley Dooley Martyn. David Grimes was also nominated, but refused the nomination, citing a heavy academic workload for his upcoming final year. After they all gave a speech, the voting started. In a close race, Steve was elected chair for next year. Well done Steve! In the Vice-Chair race, Eoin O Callaghan ran against John and Ashley (who both re-ran, having lost out on the race for chair) ...and Eoin was elected! Well done Eoin! By the time we got to the election for Vice-Chair, it was rapidly approaching 8pm. More than a few people, due to prior engagements (and the unexpected over-run of time) began to get up and leave. Before the election for the position of secretary, DCU Drama lost quorum at the AGM, and Bob adjourned the meeting. Elections performed without quorum are not valid, so there was no point in continuing. Our AGM will be rescheduled for Monday of week 12, at the DADAs awards. The AGM will take place just before the awards ceremony, starting at about 7pm. Details as to location will be sent out as soon as we have confirmed a location :) Still thinking about running? Don't miss it! Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep. DCU Drama, Chairman (Chairperson/Chairthing, y'know like, whatever). www.dcudrama.ie "Joey, you ever been in a cockpit before?

[Drama-alumni] Holy Crap! Best Fresher! Best Society!
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

DCU Drama went bananas at the Clubs & Socs Awards last night in Clontarf Castle, winning Best Fresher (Stephen Grimes) and Best Society! Much hullabaloo followed the announcement by SPC chair Brian Smyth, as eager DramaHeads swamped the stage, hoisting the cup aloft. It's been a great year for Drama, and we have our members and alumni to thank. Without you, we are nothing. Thank You Thank You Thank You! PS: Don't forget "My Mother Said..." and our AGM next week!

[Drama-alumni] My Mother Said I Never Should / AGM Tues 11th, 6pm!
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Ahoy Gang, MY MOTHER SAID I NEVER SHOULD: This fascinating all-female show will be on in the Venue next week at 8pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Admittance is 5 euro for non-members and a paltry 4 euro for members! It promises to be an excellent production, not to be missed :) DCU DRAMA AGM: Wanna be a part of DCU Drama's committee next year? Wanna have a say in what productions take place, and how they are done? Wanna bask in glory? Then come to the DCU Drama AGM on Tuesday 11th at 6pm, CG86 (the pit). We'll be electing a new committee, so it is vital that we get quorum at our AGM (currently about 35 members). You cannot afford to miss this opportunity! One of our members has proposed a constitutional change to DCU Drama, and I am including her proposal here as it needs to be advertised at least 3 working days before the AGM. I am also including a copy of DCU Drama's Constitution as an attachment! There are a few other constitutional changes proposed, including the creation of the position of Set Designer, which, depending on our membership, may need to be voted upon at the AGM. Here's a word from Elaine, who is proposing at least one change - see what you think! Hi Folks As you will see here from this constitution any proposed amendments being made to the constitution should be announced to the members at least three days before the meeting. That means tomorrow at the latest. I have a proposed amendment to section 4.4 I would like to add the position of Training officer to the committee. The role of the training officer would be defined in section 5 with the addition of section 5.6 The role of the training officer is to ensure that training is provided on all aspects of theatrical production throughout the year. They are also responsible for ensuring that there is a drama representative at any formal training provided to societies. I would like to give my reasons for the addition of this position from my own personal experiences on drama committee. I was treasurer for a year and I chaired the society for a year so I feel that I have a really good idea what drama needs to help it progress and grow. This year drama has put on many high profile events and it has made a lot of affiliations with other societies and groups both within and outside of DCU. I think this is fantastic for the growth of the society but I feel that the general week to week activities have been neglected and the achievements made this year are also the reasons that it has had some failings. There is nothing currently on offer for members to participate in on a week to week basis, no forum for people to make new friends, nothing for new members that join outside of clubs and socs days. Don't get me wrong, I understand that the committee has put in an awful lot of hard work this year. I know that every year the committee gets saturated with work and projects and productions and somethings are left undone and I feel that for drama to develop and progress another committee member is sorely needed. There are some positions are currently undefined. This could be made to the constitution next year perhaps but I feel that even if this were to happen in order for Drama to grow even further sub committees will have to be established and next years committee has an exciting time ahead of them. There are always more people looking to get on committee than there are positions. I feel that they should be on committee if they are willing to give the time and dedication it requires. Thank you for your time, see you all next Tuesday. Elaine See you all at the AGM! Bob :) PS we're off to see "My Mother Said..." afterwards, and then off to the Old Bar for 3 euro night! -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.

CLEANING THE VENUE: Yes, it's all fun and games (until someone loses an eye). But seriously folks, after being in the Venue all week, there's still a bit of a mess left in there. We got most of the place cleaned up after the show on Thursday night (until security threw us out) but WE NEED YOUR HELP! We still need to take down the set, scrub all the paint off the floor and give the place a bit of a spruce-up. The more volunteers that we get, the shorter a period of time it's going to take to clean the place, SO come along to the Venue at 10am Monday to lend a hand! There may be a pint in it for you afterwards! THEATRE TRIP! Those of you who signed up (and paid) to go to see "Fiddler on the Roof" in the Gaiety on Monday night, meet at 6.45 in front of the New Bar, and we're off to town! Yayness! If you've signed up but haven't paid, then contact stephen.grimes5(a)mail.dcu.ie to rectify this problem! You know who you are... DCU DRAMA AGM! Wednesday 12th April (week 10), 2pm. Want to be a part of the DCU Drama committee for next year? Want to have an active say in what DCU Drama gets up to next year? Then come to the AGM on Wednesday of next week and have your say! Positions available will be: Chair Vice-Chair Secretary Treasurer PRO External Liaisons Officer Technical Officer Sponsorship Officer Webmaster (the position of 1st year rep will be filled in week 2 of semester 1, next year). Think you've got what it takes? Come along and find out! To have quorum at the meeting, we need at least 35 attendees. So bring your friends! HOODIES: They ain't free.
