The groups unite!

A week The Fiasco Division has been eagerly awaiting; the time has come for the children and adult workshops to join forces!

Tuesday's Session:
Once again we raised the bar for all participants, not only did they have the challenge of high concentration drama games, but they had the added element of working alongside a group of people where the age gap was at least 40 years. This did not seem to hinder anyone's spirit though. The group was perhaps a little tentative at first, but when we threw them into deep water with some character building exercises based on archetypal heroes they successfully stayed afloat. Memorable moments included a determined cowboy ("Where's my horse?") and an ethereal spaceman ("Whoosh!").

The drama clubbers were also introduced to tableau frames, where snapshot images of potential scenes are created by people's bodies. A challenging task as we set short time periods in which to complete tasks to encourage spontaneous decisions and swift, creative team work.

I spent this workshop behind the camera lens and often found myself blurring the photos as I was laughing at the beautiful moments that were happening in the room. Keep up the good work and the smiles guys.
