What do you guys think? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Graeme B <graeme.butler2(a)mail.dcu.ie> Date: Oct 25, 2007 11:52 PM Subject: projector To: sec(a)dcudrama.ie Hey Susan I hear that you guys are thinking of putting in a grant app to purchase a projector. MPS was going to put an application in for a projector to for screening MPS videos and for events seeing as the ones from loans are dodge and sometimes hard to get your hands on. Just wondering if MPS and Drama could come to some arrangement and put in a join application for one or would you guys rather place 2 separate applications for 2 projectors? ask the committee and let me know what you think yours lovingly as always Mammy eh I mean Graeme B CS Class Rep MPS Chair www.mediaproductionsociety.com 087 9494526

Fwd: [Drama-Committee] Musical Director

I think in some ways a student director would be more dedicated.even though Jamie did a fantatsic job,we always knew his job with city channel and his move abroad were more important I don't know whether we said it in the summer;but what about Stephen Grimes,i think he is quite suitable,althoughwhether he would have the time. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: yvonne.keane2(a)mail.dcu.ie <yvonne.keane2(a)mail.dcu.ie> Date: Oct 26, 2007 8:40 AM Subject: RE: [Drama-Committee] Musical Director To: DCU Drama <dcudrama(a)gmail.com> tough one!!! its such a big risk to take!! they need to be 100% comitted!! >-- Original Message -- >Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2007 12:19:56 +0100 >From: "DCU Drama" <dcudrama(a)gmail.com> >To: "Drama Committee" <drama-committee(a)lists.redbrick.dcu.ie> >Subject: [Drama-Committee] Musical Director > > >Heyup Guys, > >I was talking to Olena and she is very much pro student involvment in the >musical,in particular the Director,as she has never done a show without one >before > >I know we talked about a student director over the summer and i was just >wondering if we are definitly against having one.I don't know whether this >is a mute point or not,so please correct me, but did we decide completely >against it. > >I know we said that it was a lot to take on but we never asked or approached >someone. > >So lets hear some views...................... > >Pauric > > >-- >www.dcudrama.ie >_______________________________________________ >Drama-Committee mailing list >Drama-Committee(a)lists.redbrick.dcu.ie >http://lists.redbrick.dcu.ie/mailman/listinfo/drama-committee -- www.dcudrama.ie

Heyup Guys, I was talking to Olena and she is very much pro student involvment in the musical,in particular the Director,as she has never done a show without one before I know we talked about a student director over the summer and i was just wondering if we are definitly against having one.I don't know whether this is a mute point or not,so please correct me, but did we decide completely against it. I know we said that it was a lot to take on but we never asked or approached someone. So lets hear some views...................... Pauric -- www.dcudrama.ie

23 Oct '07

Hey guys, I've attached the minutes from tonight's meeting. Please read them so that you know what you need to do before the next meeting. Speaking of which, when do we want to have the next meeting?? Monday is a bank holiday and Tuesday is Rocky Horror! Also, are we going to try and organise another meeting for this week as well to discuss Rocky Horror fully? Thoughts and suggestions, please! Susan :-) P.S. Conor, have Declan and Marian not been added to the Drama Committee mailing list or am I adding their emails unnecessarily everytime I email committee...?

[Drama-Committee] Announce drama
by DCU Drama 21 Oct '07

21 Oct '07

Hello Guys, The following e-mail may contain information of a dramatic nature........you have been warned!! *Auditions:* ** If you still havent auditioned for anything,or just havent found the right show for you,worry not,we will be having another massive week of auditions this week. *DISCO PIGS AUDITIONS:* Joey Kavanagh will be holding auditions for a production of Disco Pigs, which is likely to take place at the beginning of Semester Two. Auditions will take place on Wednesday and Thursday from 6-8 in CG04. The play revolves around the intense relationship of two teenage protagonists, Darin and Sinead, nicknamed "Pig" and "Runt". Pig and Runt were born at the same hospital at nearly the same time and grow up right next door to each other, forming a very close relationship that borders on telepathic. The two talk in their own idiosyncratic "language" and live in their own separate world, barely communicating with the world around them. However, in there seventeenth year, their world is breached by an outsider, triggering an irreversible chain of events that will ultimately end in tragedy. For further info, please e-mail joeykavanagh(a)gmail.com *Stars In Their Eyes:* On Monday,the final "Stars in Their Eyes" auditions will be held between 3-4 in CG2.Come one,come all and blow us away with your amazing vocal talents!! *One Acts:* Alan Flanaghan and Olena Ripnick will also be holding auditions for their One Acts.These will be taking place on *Tuesday,6-8 and Wednesday,2-6 in rooms CG2-3*.If you havent acted before,or wish to get back into the swing of things I would strong recommend you come down to these auditions. ** *Workshops:* ** This week DCU Drama will be holding its first professional workshop.Withinthis workshop we will be learning about the art of improv.We will be meeting on *Monday at 7;15 in the Venue*, which is just next to the NuBar. With an intervarsity between the biggest college's in Ireland due to take place the next couple of weeks,this is a chance for us to see the quality that we know we have within our ranks. For those who have very little experience(like me),this is also a great chance to develop one's dramatic skills.The following week we will be getting in Liam Halighan,the highly regarded Gaeity School of Acting teacher,who will lead a number of workshops which will eventually cultivate in "Play in a Day". These workshops are a *must *for all those interested in getting involved with DCU Drama for the first time:) ** ** *Callbacks:* ** Last week saw record numbers of people audition for the Xmas Panto.Sadly we could not call you all back due to weight restrictions in the Venue....... Thanks to all those auditioned,it was extremely hard for Marian and Niamh to cut down the numbers and if you are not included in the following list;dont get too upset,the producers of the show will be contacting people at a later date for chorus work.. Joseph Ronan Clodagh Brennan Juan Francisco Peter Shannon Sinead McDonald Dawn Mcdonagh Laura McCabe Mary Hayes Michelle Ryan Sarah Rooney Brendan O'Rourke Brian Maloney Ciara Buggy Gary O'Donoghue Aideen Shannon ALan McHale David Leon James Murphy Michael Clesham Siobhan Ford Joanne Halpin Ciara Mulcahy Sean Carroll Trudi McDonald Anna Lawlor Sean Kennedy Cian Markey Joanne Bracken Christine Kelly Gillian Tierney Ciara Murphy John Harney Gary Boylan Adam Murphy Ed Leamy Gerrard Collis Lyndsey Mcgregor Susan Doyle Francis Hughes Naomi Linehan ** Congraulations to all those who got a callback.The callbacks will be taking place on *Tuesday,6-8,in CG1 and Wednesday 2-6 in CG1*.There will be singing auditions at these callbacks. Don't worry about this too much,they are just checking to see who they can give songs to,it is not vital that you can sing to be in the panto!!!!But do have a song in your head going in:) *Re-orientation Week:* ** Week Five is Re-Orientation Week.If you have friends who are interested in joining Drama,please tell them they can do so this week in the Clubs and Soc's Office(which is just upstairs in the Hub). For those of you who are already DCU Drama Members;MPS(Media Production Society),are offering all our society the chance to join for half price.Thisa fantastic offer which we think you all should avail of,especially if you are a communications student. Thats all folks Pauric Carroll DCU Drama Chair -- www.dcudrama.ie
