NORTHERN REGION CONFERENCE at DONCASTER LITTLE THEATRE
19th to 21st November 2010
News has just come through about this event. The theme of the conference is Community, and is focussed on Doncaster’s recent receipt of a Lottery Grant to further community activity at the theatre.
The weekend starts on Friday evening with excerpts from a recent Youth Theatre production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle – Doncaster’s reputation for youth work is renowned. This is followed by supper and a light-hearted theatre quiz.
On Saturday and Sunday mornings there are workshops: on community development; Front of House; technical matters, especially lighting and video; and acting. Delegates will pick two out of the four.
Saturday afternoon is devoted to an open forum, followed by the regional AGM. The play in the evening will be The Changeling by Middleton & Rowley – a rare chance to see a Jacobean tragedy.
The conference closes with a lunch on Sunday, with a so far un-named guest speaker.
This promises to be a lively and stimulating weekend. There will probably be two cars going from Bolton, so transport costs can be shared. The fixed minimum cost for conference fee and three meals (Sunday lunch is extra) is £29.50. The local hotels offer the usual range of accommodation at varied prices.
If you are interested in attending, please get in touch with Sandra Simpson quickly – she has full details. If you have not attended a Guild conference before, this might be the ideal introduction!
