A new year begins. We say farewell to Beatrice and welcome into IB1 Caitlin, Andrew, Aisha and Olivia.

Here is a weblink to set you off on some research into theatre styles and practice:

Bangkok is off and running. Watch this space for more information.

You all have an article on Sponteneity to read: it's taken from Terry Johnstone's book Impro which I highly recommend. Even Kevin said it was an enjoyable extract to read.

Don't forget to read A Midsummer Night's Dream and get designing!

Everyone in IB2 is looking for their chosen tradition or style to focus on for their final Research Investigation.

IB1 just created their first devised piece: "Caught Red Handed". It was performed in the toilets at lunchtime and created the stir everyone hoped for. Thought for the day is this: If you create theatre with the goal of having your audience interact with it, can you then complain that individuals 'spoilt' it?
