I’ve just finished my first week of six directing a play with half of Year 2 drama students at Arts Ed. This is great fun and my aim is give the students a good experience and add to their acting tool kit as the continue to learn about acting. They’re an eager and talented bunch & the drama school has been so welcoming and supportive. YAY!
We’re doing Amsterdam by Maya Arad Yasur. According to Nick Hern publisher the best way to describe it is: “An Israeli violinist. Living in her trendy canal-side Amsterdam apartment. Nine months pregnant. One day a mysterious unpaid gas bill from 1944 arrives.” The entire play has no character names so the 14 students are getting the chance to be anyone and everyone within the play.
Can’t wait to continue with working with them!
