[Drama-Committee] Minutes
by Sinead McDonald 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hey, Can everyone please read and follow any instructions accordingly... (On a different note... Cian can you please do the strictly posters???!!!) Peace out! DCU DRAMA COMMITTEE MEETING Agenda; Monday 16th February, 2008 ? Ratification of last meetings minutes ? Any matter arising ? Pillowman + ISDA ? Lighting Desk ? Bank Balance ? Clubs and Socs day 2 ? RAG week ? AOB Absent: Adam and Ciara Pillowman + ISDA: - The Helix was really helpful about it. The 600 euro is going into the Rent account. - The show is not allowed to be put on anywhere in Ireland; this rules out ISDA. - Suggestions were made for the show to be put on for friends and family but the repercussions would be terrible if this got out. - So far Joeys play ?Bash? looks to be the only runner. Another option is putting a one woman show together with Holly?s material. PAURIC will get onto her and hopefully we will have a decision next week. Lighting Desk: - We found the mouse and it costs 50 euro. It was decided that we should go ahead and swap the desk with Jay as putting it off further may result in hard feelings. DEC and ADAM will sort this out. - The current desk is obsolete and if it breaks we have no leg to stand on. Bank Balance: -Currently the balance is 1654.69 but after claims etc we should have 6700. Clubs and Socs day 2: - Weds 18th 10-4. DEC and ED will set up at 10. Others will be there later on to relieve them. CIAN will make a big Rent poster and they will have the other big poster too. RAG week: - Drown Drama will be done after Strictly... on Tuesday. Need to organise sponges and buckets etc. AOB: - Now that Pillowman is out, Pauric will be doing workshops weekly. There will be three this week. There will be a lighting workshop and Dec suggested having a talk about directing and producing too. There was a suggestion of doing Improv Comedy and play in a day. - EVERYONE needs to encourage people to go to these workshops and attend themselves. - Conor cleared up the SPC points system. This doesn?t determine the funding we get, it?s just a rewards system that gives points to societies for the events they have. SINEAD will get in contact with Eimear and keep her up to date on the events. - We need to make sure that before any work goes into a play, the director needs to have the rights. We should also draw up contracts for shows. RENT meeting with John: - We need a vocal coach. Andrew and Trudy haven?t the time. John knew a guy (Kevin) and called him, he attended rehearsals that night. We agreed to cap the payment at 1500. 500 could be fundraised and 250 off Andrews?s payment should ease the expenses. That?s for 9 hours a week for 5 weeks. - We need to do fundraising. Try every company you can, think outside the box? This will be the main responsibility of the production team. - Sinéad McDonald 57416181 CS2 Class Rep Drama Committee Secretary 08/09

[Drama-Committee] Question about Royalties
by Orla Mc Greal 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi Committee! I was just enquiring about how the royalties for plays system works! If the playwright is dead for more then 50 years do royalties still need to be paid? How do you get permission to stage a play and pay the royalties? Thanks a million!! Orla McGreal

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: pauric carroll <pauriccarroll(a)gmail.com> Date: 2009/2/14 Subject: Fwd: The Pillowman To: pantocity(a)gmail.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tara Walsh <tara.walsh(a)thehelix.dcu.ie> Date: Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 4:24 PM Subject: The Pillowman To: pauric carroll <pauriccarroll(a)gmail.com> Hi Pauric, I've had a meeting with Eamonn Morris, Financial Controller regarding your cancellation of 'The Pillowman'. Whilst it is very disappointing that this has occurred we appreciate your position and so as a goodwill gesture we are happy to waive the cancellation clause of the contract. We will transfer the funds paid to the RENT account but we would like to state that this is an exception on this occasion only and we would not be in position to do this again should a similar circumstance arise in the future. We do hope that you will have a more successful outcome next time and wish you the best of luck with the Limerick run. Kind regards, Tara -- Tara Walsh Programme Coordinator a.

by Aidan Walsh 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi there I got your email address from the DCU clubs and societies website and was wondering if you or some of your members would be interested in the attached part-time sports jobs with the Irish Tag Rugby Association this summer. In total, we will be hiring about 50 Venue Managers and 300 Referees around the country so there is lots of opportunity of getting involved – and earn some cash while staying fit. Attached are the two job specs - it would be great if you could forward the job details onto anyone you think may be interested and/or put the poster up on your club notice board. In Dublin, we are primarily looking for people to work in our venues based on the south side of the city…there are only a few northside venues: * Templeogue * Terenure * Blackrock * Ballinteer * Dundrum * Harold’s Cross * Stepaside * UCD * Santry * Rathmines * Lucan/Celbridge * Castleknock/Blanchardstown * Ballsbridge * Sandymount Regionally, we are looking for people in: · Cork · Galway · Limerick · Ennis · Athlone · Naas Working with ITRA is a great way for students get fantastic Sports Administration experience - and earn some decent pocket money at the same time.

[Drama-Committee] Reminder: Bob's Birthday Bash TONIGHT
by Roibeárd Ó Mhurcú 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hoping to see y'all this evening guys! The details again... After a lengthy history of themed (and drunken) birthday bashes, including: *2006: *My 21st (10 year Anniversary Special) *2007: *My Sweet 16 (times 2) and *2008: *My OMG 33 ...comes yet another excuse to hit the Slipper and get hammered (like we needed one). And naturally, this party has a theme too. Hold onto your hats, it's the.... *"Holy Shit, Bob's 34? Now THAT'S Old" * *Birthday Bash!* * *...and in the spirit of all things unfortunate (such as old age), we're having the bash on Friday the 13th (ooooh, creeepy). The details: *Where: *Matt Weldon's The Slipper, Ballymun Road, across from DCU *When: *Friday 13th Feb, ooooh, 8pm - *That's TONIGHT!* *What: *The aforementioned "Holy Shit I'm Old etc" Birthday Bash! *Are You Serious? *Yes. Yes, I am. *Why So Serious? *Because this email wouldn't be complete without a Dark Knight reference. *How do we get there? *11, 4, 4A, 19A, and many many more buses stop pretty much outside the door of the Slipper. If you live near DCU, it's a quick walk across the street. Personally, I'll be crawling there, naked, across a field of broken glass. *Really?* Um, no. * *And that's about it folks! Just turn up, preferably clothed, purchase drinks, consume drinks, repeat until woozy. See ya there!

Hey everyone, any chance we could get together sharpish to work out exactly what is happening with pillowman? Like I have a few ideas of what we could do, but I don't really want to start throwing out ideas without all the facts.
