Production Team [2]

The Production Team is now ready and I'm pleased and blessed to announce that a professional technician to deal with Visuals, Light & Sound has now been hired!

More to come soon!

So You want to know who's the choreographer?

All righ, all right... Hold Your horses (something Tesco's should have said to their meat suppliers, too)...

Here she is...



For those who do not know her, here's also a little bit about Francesca: she's  has been involved in acting roles since the age of 9, in school productions and in youth projects organised by the Grove Theatre in Dunstable (as Bet in Oliver, and as a The Wizard of Oz dance crew member).  She joined Central Bedfordshire College Performing Arts in September 2011 demonstrating a keen interest in all three disciplines of performance: singing, acting and dance, and being referred to as a triple threat performer after her part as Holly in The Wedding Singer (March 2012).  She will complete her college studies in 2013 and will start university in September to study Musical Theatre.  On December 11, 2012, Francesca was assessed in Choreography on an event open to the public: her choreography was amazing, and her raw talent is exactly the kind of skill needed in this project.  It took some persuasion, but she finally agreed to choreograph the opening song of the play. Francesca also attended and thoroughly enjoyed a Make-up Artist course during her final year as a student at Cedars Upper School, and this is how she initially wished to be involved on this production. She will soon audition for a part in Fame to be staged at the College this spring (what role she'll audition for will remain a secret for now!)

We wish her well in her quest to choreograph an important feature of A Day In The Medical Room, her first professional work to go on stage, with much gratitude for taking this role in the production.

Blessings x


PS. By the way, Francesca happens to be my eldest daughter!

Sponsors wanted!

So things are moving slowly, as it should be for this particular project, since the playwright/artistic director/casting director/marketing director/finance manager/sponsor manager/full-time worker mother of two is learning how to split herself in many more parts in order to accomplish all her tasks, as required!

I'm actually enjoying it to bits: every single minute; every weekend afternoon that snatched a cosy nap; many late nights gathering all info required to build a decent business plan; even some sleepless ones (too excited to doze off!)

The present quest is to find a way to contact St. John's Ambulance and the British Red Cross! No... I'm not ill - although one might argue that an emergency hospitalisation to a mental asylum would be quite appropriate at this stage!

From the play's title, I'm sure anyone must have figured out that it's (also) got to do with being a first aider in a secondary school (first hand experience, guys & gals!) so there is some basic first aid information involved.  The great idea of asking the two main first aid providers in the UK to get involved with sponsoring is encountering some challenge, though: I have spent the last seven days trying to figure out how to contact both; so my plea here is: does anyone out there know how to put an end to my misery? Can You find a contact email address that can be used to get in touch with both of them?  Pleeeaaaaase?

Thank You so much in advance for the advice You can spare!

Blessings

PS. I know, I know... You'll have to wait until my next post to find out about the choreographer - we're just finalising a few bits and pieces!  :)

Happy 2013!

Special post to all of You who BELIEVE: 2013 is going to be a wonderful Year for all those who have worked hard at making their inner most Dreams come true!

May it bring Balance and Inner Strength where Creativity may take place!

May it be the Year in which We all get rid of old useless fears to make space for the New!

May we all believe that what's happening is happening for a reason, and that this reason is to help make our World better!

May our Dreams bring Joy to us and us bring Joy to many!

I could write more wishes for hours, but have a better idea: today, the first of January 2013, take a few moments, close Your eyes, listen to Your breath deep within, and think ONLY of all things in Your life that make You really HAPPY: fill Yourself with that Happiness and stay like that for as long as You can. See how it feels and know that with that energy You can change Your world forever!

Peace, Love & Light to All Beings on Earth! <3

PS. By the way, the choreographer I've been looking for for so long was right next to me... :D
