[Drama-Committee] ISDA Meeting Today
by Joey Kavanagh 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

Hey guys, Just a report back from the ISDA meeting in DIT today: The last ISDA meeting of the year saw elections for the positions of Chair and Treasurer of the ISDA Council. Aoife from UCD (the one who caused the big ruckus in the build-up to the festival) was unopposed for the position of Treasurer and so was deemed elected. Then came the election of chair with two candidates, Eoin Kilkenny of UCD and the now infamous Dara Gilroy of UCC (J-Lo award nominee). Given that Gilroy has succeeded in offending several of my fellow-committee members at various stages and knowing that Eoghan went to school with Kilkenny and thinks highly of him, there was no question of where my vote was going. Unfortunately, J-Lo won out by the narrowest of margins (just one paltry vote) - boo-urns. On a more positive note, we have been asked to host the first ISDA meeting of the next academic year - woohoo! I think it's a quite a privilege to be asked, given that we're a non-executive member, and reflects how much relations between ourselves and ISDA have improved (gormless Gilroy aside). It's set to take place on Saturday the 14th of October and I think, regardless of the outcome of Mo0nday night's elections, I'd still like to be involved in organising this, if that's alright? Anyhoo, hope ye're all enjoying yizzer weekends, Joey

[Drama-Committee] AGM / DADAs Female Acting Awards online voting!
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Jesus. It seems that not enough people are available to attend a meeting tonight. This is not an ideal situation, but it's worked for us in the past, so I propose an EMAIL VOTE on the following topics: 1: Date of upcoming AGM 2: DADA Best Actress 3: DADA Best Supporting Actress OK, so here goes: 1: DATE OF UPCOMING AGM: There are 3 possibilities: Tomorrow, 5pm: Little chance of reaching quorum, due to short notice. Clash with Music Soc Choral thingy & Big Union Council thingy. While I realise that truly dedicated DramaHeads will turn up no matter what, there are several who have expressed interest in running for ctte who had previously committed to the Music Soc bash. And remember, we are the ones who have had to reschedule, not Music Soc. Bugger. Wed, 2.30pm. Again, little chance of quorum, due to short notice, Chance of people buggering off home early. Bob and Eoin are shooting final-grade TV project also. Double Bugger. Week 12, at the DADAs: Pro: we are pretty much guaranteed quorum. Con: this leads to short handover time, altho several ctte members have assured me that this does not bother them, as we'll all be around next year to answer questions/help out, and most of us are going to be around over the summer. As for the elections, I don't feel that it is necessary to re-run the election for the 2 positions we have already elected. But that's just me. DADA BEST ACTRESS: The nominees are: Lyndsey Fay: Guys & Dolls Siobhan Hickey: All My Sons Riona Flood: Merchant of Venice Doireann O Rourke: Guys & Dolls Anna Lawlor: Babez in da Hood I would, having seen the show, like to add Orla McGreal to this list for her performance in "My Mother Said..." - Eoin and Shelly may agree with me. I thought she was outstanding. DADA BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Laura Whitmore: All My Sons Niamh Maher: Babez in da Hood Liana O Cleirigh: All My Sons Bridget Barcoe: Merchant of Venice Jess Duggan: Merchant of Venice I am undecided as to whether to give a nod to Michelle Crawley for "My Mother Said..." - what do you guys think...? WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Reply to this email TONIGHT with the following points: 1: your preference for AGM timing 1.1: whether you feel that we need to re-run the election for Chair, Vice Chair 2: whether you agree Orla McGreal should get a Best Actress nom 3: your choice for Best Actress 4: whether you agree Michelle Crawley should get a Best Supporting Actress nom 5: your choice for Best Supporting Actress. A total of 6 points! Email it all back to me, and I will let you know of the results as soon as the entire ctte have voted (with the possible exception of Charlie) Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS2 Class Rep.

[Drama-Committee] EGM
by David Grimes 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

EGM Week 12 makes sense. We will not get quorum this week. On Tuesday, we have the Union counsil party, the choral showcase, and the class-rep party. Our membership will be split. It makes sense to do it during the next week, when we can be sure of attendance.

I'm against holding off the elections to Week 12 for two reasons: 1. I'm supposed to bring next year's ELO to the next ISDA meeting in DIT this coming weekend. 2. It allows for a pretty short space of time for the handover. Joey

[Drama-Committee] Heya!
by Stephen Grimes 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Hey guys, Talked with Ashley today and himself, Alan Keegan and Elaine Bannon have discussed the proposition of having the Musical in the Helix next year. I think this a fantastic idea and I would like to know two things... 1.) What do you guys think? I'd like everyone to consider things like costs, timing (as in this years musical was very rushed! only a few weeks rehearsals) and any other problems to be faced- etc... (stuff I should know about but... uh... DON'T!!!!) 2.) Could I have all the contact details that we use in the helix? I would like to introduce myself to those in charge as to make a good first impression. Anyway, could you tell me EVERYTHING that you think is important. i.e. How much will it cost approx? The advantages and disadvantages... the ups and downs... whatever!!! I really want look into this now so I won't be shocked come next September! And I'd really appreciate any help I could get from you guys. The only reason why I ran for chair was because of the enjoyment and professionalism I encountered this year on committee- thanks guys. Right, that's enough gay for tonight. =) Steve

I just wanna apologise for interrupting Dave when he was speaking today. I know there's no excuse for that kind of behaviour but I was just getting a bit frustrated that we were spending so much time discussing Elaine's proposal. I've also made the decision not to run for committee next year. I know there's no real need to announce this in a committee e-mail but I just didn't want people to be surprised when I don't go forward next week. Joey
