Embryo 6!

An exciting evening with acting, art and music talented artists at Groundlings Theatre. World wide famous “Mamma Mia” and “It’s raining men” sung by 13 young pupils, the Voices. Then came on the stage Charlotte Kenna with her energetic voice, the hilarious Jays Band, the brilliant comedian Gareth Turpie, Megan Linford with her acoustic guitar and then the comedy drag act of Lexxa and Texxa. There were other special guests: in the Green Room the Diana Goss’ photos exhibition and among the public in the hall Los Dave, who painted live inspired on the acting show.

You can be the next!

Keep in touch for Embryo 7!!

What you see behind the singers is the jungle set for the show is going on: Lord of the Flies By William Golding. Absolutley unmissable!

Only two shows more!

Cheers

Wonderland in a room

Hello! Ciao!

This is Francesca.

On Friday night I borrowed something from our Groundlings Theatre Wardrobe. You should come and visit it…it’s like a museum, guys, it’s amazing! There are Victorian, Greek, Roman costumes,… There are 40s, 50s and Contemporary dresses and lots of accessiories: hand-bags, hats, masks… and tiger costumes, swords, shields. Almost everything you can imagine for parties or performances can be found in there! Last night I didn’t need a golden princess costume to go to Albert Road, anyway I asked Freya (she’s the wardrobe mistress) for some accessories to get a concession tiket for a cabaret show… guess what! I wore this:

 

I was a 20s lady with a seriuous grey boa and Alessandra borrowed an eccentric huge pink feather boa that made her win awards and applause on the stage.

Before leaving Groundlings Theatre I have to try all the dresses of the Wardrobe, it’s my challenge! Will I succeed in it?

Keep in touch!

The italian job – Part 3

Hello everyone! Here is Francesca.

Let me tell you how amazing the Brothers Most Grimm Show was. Alessandra and I spent a few days making all the props needed. We incredibly made a vivid tree, a huge realistic pair of scissors, a frame for an invisible mirror and what else? We picked up four bags of leaves from the avenue and we looked crazy, because every morning a man collects all of them from the pavements of Curzon Howe Road!

So the set was full of leaves and in the middle of this circle surrounded by the seats there was a tree, a chair, a fireplace, some mushrooms. Pieces of cheese, baskets, apples, invitations, guns.. for three of the most famous tales of the world. If I tell you that in the first scene the actors used apples and an invisible mirror can you guess the tale? Snow White, of course! Later some mice-actors appeared eating Cheddar, then two ugly sisters, one pumpkin for.. Peter Pan? No. For Hansel and Gretel? No. For Cinderella, sure! And the show didn’t finish. Later in the complete darkness a red cap actress came with a basket in her arm, then a wolf that in the end died came.. and well, can I stay here to tell the entire story? I’m adding only that it was a great show.

Next time you will see splendid photos by Diana Goss!

Speak to you soon for the next event!

Bye! Francesca x
