Stage Craft Guild

To those lonely few who may have some weird thoughts of doing other things in theatre, besides being an actor (although they are most welcome to join in and find out what they are missing out on), like that which is done in the dark and how to perform safe sets or all the other thigs that go to make a performance.

We are forming a Stage Craft Guild {The First in Australia possibly the universe), at least we have the battery fully charged and only awaiting to be given the key for the ignition, at the ‘Old Mill’ in South Perth (which is going through a major refit).

From the last head count we are about 7 in number made up of those who do It from the heart and a few old pros thrown in or about (possibly more - but they have not owned up yet?).

As we have been doing so much lately with so little (which is theatre) I don't think anyone has had the time to find out and I doubt if this completely official yet? so take this as a teaser or tormentor, which ever is your want?

One of the main thoughts was firstly to have just a basic workshop, this was not our idea as we wnted a full weekend one - but those with more experiance suggested we do just a few hours in December sometime, dependant upon interest shown from other ITA theatres and individuals - although we will probably end up just playing with and/or amongst ourselves -

Anyhow, a programme has been devised of strictly basic stuff, which may go some way in answering some of those questions such as;-
Where, Who, What, When, Why, We and How?
{Not really in that order)

Even if you have done IT all in a previous life - we need your interjections (under the Health Act all perishables missiles must be kept fresh or refrigerated and wrapped in an approved manner or enclosure - this saves an cleaning staff) and what ever else you do best. The main thread is attitude with experience and aptitude as a bonus - If nothing else we will shout you a coffee all other orders are taken at the Windsor Hotel opposite.

So, if your new or old to theatre and would like to while away a bit of time - email or ring me (08)93377682 but unfortunately as I seem to be at the Theatre all the time, you can try there and give us your expression of interest.

Now comes the crunch - PAYMENT - unfortunately.
And we do apologise in advance there will be a significant charge - like all things, nowadays -

The cost of the workshop is payment at the door of $YOUR:00 (ONLY YOUJR Participation)
although all major / minor cards will be accepted with hourly interest charged and those of age must be accompanied as a passable adult (No crèche provided)

So if your intersted - you know what to do, I hope?

See you in IT
