Come and 'Dip into Drama' with Dungarvan Dramatic Club! We have recently started
a new venture and invite anyone who is interested in drama to come along and have
a bit of fun with us. We are organising monthly get-togethers at the Park Hotel,
where we will be exploring the world of drama. In a very informal, fun and safe
environment, we develop drama, both scripted and improvised, through games,
exercises and rehearsal. For those interested in acting, but without the time to
commit to a production, this is a perfect way to meet people and enjoy something
different. Club member Charlie O'Donoghue says ''our aim is to have a fun, creative
evening where we can play around with drama and learn from each other. So many
people are interested in the club, but are afraid to take the plunge and get involved.
Hopefully, they will feel brave enough to come and put their toe in the water, and see
what we're about."
Our first sessions have focused on conflict in drama and how to make an impact with
an opening scene. We have enjoyed lots of games, warm-up activities and script
exercises, culminating in enjoyable mini-performances. The sessions so far were
ably led by Charlie O'Donoghue and Deirdre Collender in their relaxed and friendly
style. Everyone enjoyed a laugh and a smile, while trying out some new ideas.
Deirdre says "It was great to see some new faces who were interested in trying
something new on our first night in September, and very encouraging when they
came back in October for more. We would be delighted to see them return again,
with friends, for many nights to come.”
Evenings are free and open to members and non-members to come and have a
go. Future sessions will offer many more opportunities to create performances and
try out different ideas and techniques, with December's session offering the chance
to dabble in Pantomime, which is sure to be particularly entertaining! Our next 'Dip
into Drama' will be on Thursday 6th November, 8-10pm, Moresby Room, Park Hotel,
Dungarvan. Come along and join us for what promises to be another fun and
interesting evening. To find out more look us up on Facebook
