DLI NEWSLETTER 30 JUNE 2022
|
|
 Hard to believe that we are half way through 2022, and right in the summer season (not that you would realise that with our current weather)! There's plenty going on around the country as you can see in this edition, and the 56th DLI Summer School begins in 23 days time, not that we're counting or anything! Courses B -F are now fully booked, but a few places remain on COURSE A: Play, Connect, Create, Respond.
All details www.dli.ie
summerschool@dli.ie.
 COURSE A OUTLINE:
This action-packed week will involve creative play, group work, scene-work, improvisation, text-based performance work, directing, voice-work, practical methods of relaxation and class discussions about acting, technique and our own responses to work shared throughout the week. Each day will involve creative drama games and group activities to promote a strong, supportive working atmosphere from which creativity will naturally and comfortably arise. Improvisation and scene work will form a large part of each day with students working in smaller groups and pairs.
Specific texts chosen for the course will also be shared in advance of attending, so that students can immerse themselves in the presentation, direction and critical reflection of each piece during the week of performance work and artistic study. The focus of this course will be to provide an excellent toolkit for performance in a creative, safe and enjoyable environment.
