[Drama-Committee] Complaints
by Stephen Grimes 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

Hey guys, Two important complaints have come to my attention... 1.) Sean Kennedy was unhappy with the way the director for the panto was selected. He felt that he had an unfair chance and that he didn't get the opportunity to speak his case. I explained to Sean that the main reason why we went with Padraig was to give a first-time director a chance to do something and also to rope in the freshers. He was still not pleased about the way it was conducted. He said he still wants to do things with Drama this year but he feels a little let down by the conduct of the committee. 2.) Jason Fallon was unhappy that as producer he felt that he was bypassed in the selection of who should MC the Stars in Their Eyes. He said he wasn't unhappy with the people picked, he had no problem with the selection, but he did feel that he should of had a say in it considering he was the producer. *My opinion....* I think both are fair points. Sean's argument is disputable due to the situation whereas Jay's point is a bit more serious. I think that possibly we need to step back more as a committee and allow the producers of a show to organize and decide everything. That's why they're producers. Also its a load of our backs organization wise... I think its something we should watch out for in future and maybe discuss up in the next meeting. Just though I'd give you the heads up. Thanks guys, (thanks john... *and everyone else wonders what we're talking about*...) Steve P.S. I'd like to emphasize that these complaints were said to me in private and that this is a committee issue and should not have to come up with Sean or Jay or anyone else. (I know it won't, but just in case) Also, I'd like to emphasize more that Jay defiantly has no problem with the MC's for the Stars, but should Eoin Byrne not do it I suggest we allow Jay and Liana decide... but we'll discuss that later... and I'm starting to write a second e-mail so I should go...

[Drama-Committee] Fwd: One Act Play
by Stephen Grimes 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

This is Eoin's One Act! Its quite good, needs a bit of length but sure its still very funny! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eoin O'Neill <eoin.oneill23(a)mail.dcu.ie> Date: Oct 16, 2006 4:34 AM Subject: One Act Play To: chair(a)dcudrama.ie Hi Steve, I had one of those sleepless nights when you're jittering with inspiration. I looked at the scripts on lazy bee and then decided to write my own. I've attached it in this email. It's quite short as scripts go but as you'll understand when you read it, that doesn't matter too much since it's mainly geared towards improvisation. Have a read of it in your own time and get back to me. If you like it, and want to start auditions this week, Tuesday, after four, and Wednsday, after five, suit best. Hope you enjoy it. Lots of manly love, Eoin Eoin O'Neill -- Stephen Grimes Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550

[Drama-Committee] Fwd: [Allsoc] This Week! St. Vincent de Paul Week! Committee Training!
by Stephen Grimes 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

I think we should all try attend the effectiv committee meetings training- cus I know I need it! Steve ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Roibeard O Mhurcu, SPC Chair 06/07 <dramabob(a)gmail.com> Date: Oct 15, 2006 11:18 PM Subject: [Allsoc] This Week! St. Vincent de Paul Week! Committee Training! To: allsoc(a)list.dcu.ie Ahoy Campers! I'll keep this week's email (comparitively) short... Coming up on Tuesday.... Club & Society Committee Training: Effective Meetings & Committee Roles *Tuesday 17th October 2006, Week 4. 5 to 6 pm, Seminar Room* This training session will teach your committee how to efficiently run a meeting; what the proper procedures and protocols are and the correct roles for each of your committee members. It will explain exactly what the (e.g.) secretary should and should not do; the role assumed by the chair in meetings and so on. This session will be vital for the smooth running of your society for the coming year. We would urge at least two members of every club and society committee to attend. Officially, that is. Personally, I would advise as many of your society's committee as possible to attend. Going to this training session will teach your committee how to get all the business they need to get done in a short efficient meeting. Too often a scenario occurs like this one: Chair: "I think we should take course of action X." Committee agrees unanimously. Other ctte member: "I think that's a great idea, and here's why...." Other ctte member then launches into a 10 minute speech about why X is a great idea. Other members take the ball and run with it and pretty soon there's a full blown discussion going on as to why everyone thinks X is a great idea. There goes a half an hour you're not going to get back. If the entire committee agrees that X is a great idea, then there is NO NEED FOR DISCUSSION. Just action someone to follow up on X and move on to the next point on your agenda. If you don't know what an agenda is, YOU NEED TO COME TO THIS TRAINING SESSION! St. Vincent de Paul Week St. Vincent de Paul week is upon us again! If you're a Fresher, you won't remember the hilarity of the Slave Auction last year (thanks, Fr. John) or the risque-ness of Naked Lab Coat Day. For everyone else, I'm sure you have fond memories... And here's what's happening this year: Monday:- There will be plenty of busking on campus, gate collections during the day. Monday night sees the annual V de P table quiz kicking off at 8pm. There'll be great prizes and a sexy MC! Tuesday:- Slave auction beginning at 9 in the Hub. One of the most successful and funniest nights of the week last year! It's also the first slave auction of this year so...it's definitely not to be missed!! Wednesday:- Coffee morning in the Interfaith Centre Thursday:- The huge finale to the week beginning with Naked Lab Coat Day all day. Then we have a "Naked Lab Coat Day Party" where scientists can continue to wear ONLY their lab coats but ,everyone else, no need to worry there is also a Rubik's cube party, Speed Dating and 80's night planned!! The Hub is definitely going to be the place to be this Thursday. SVP week is the SVP Socs biggest fundraiser all year. All money donated goes straight to the various youth projects, soup-runs and all other projects the students of DCU SVP undertake so...BE GENEROUS!!! Clubs & Socs Weakest Link! Tues, 31st Oct, The Venue We need representatives from Clubs & Societies to contact either me at spcchair(a)dcu.ie or Al at sccchair(a)dcu.ie to take part in the first ever DCU Clubs & Socs Weakest Link! We've even got a host called Robinson! But the best news...? The winning Club or Soc gets 1000 euro for their club or soc. YES, THAT'S A GRAND. ONE THOUSAND BIG ONES. Watch this space! Right, that's it, I'm outta here.
