Tech & media project
Hi JoAnne here, this week we've been working with Mike Leigh Cooper. Mike is good with tech stuff - I call him a tech guy like Dave! Mike came in on Tuesday and he explained what he does, which is lots of different online and technical stuff. First he asked us about media stuff we like, and about Irresistible and Denis.

Brian Wakeling about his first half term on Making Theatre
I only started Making Theatre this October. So far, it's not been entirely what I expected but that's probably because we went straight into Irresistible. This didn't give us much time for developing our own coursework. Now that Irresistible is over we are starting on other things, like a mini photo project. As someone who has been making theatre in one form or another since 1986, ranging from acting, to providing effects and stage managing, to design and sight-direction work, I am looking forward to seeing what new tricks I might come across.

One Day i'm Gonna...
Hi all Jack, Alison and Matthew from Making Theatre here to tell you all about what we've been getting up to. At Mind the Gap we've been doing games like Grandmother's Footsteps, Jack thinks that games are a laugh and the MTG building is brilliant especially Studio 1. Some of us have had interviews with Charli about learning, Charli is a really good friend. Matthew has made lost of new friends and in a morning everyone is friendly and says good morning.

Making Theatre first blog of the new term
Hi, we are Emily, Anna, Howard, Liam A, David and Liam B and we're all on Making Theatre. Liam A and Emily were here last year the rest of us are new. This week we have all been getting to know each other. Anna felt nervous about meeting other people but she did already know Liam and Fiz so they looked after her. Howard didn't know what to expect but we had a tour of the building with Rio and Charli which was really funny because people in the Acting Company dressed silly and then they all felt like friends.
