Dear Parents,

​

D.R.E.A.M. Hawke's Bay Summer Season

Dates: 6th - 10th January 2020

Venue: 1024 Duke Street, Hastings

​

​

​

 

'Sea scene nor' - Latin beach party!

​

​

 

'Sea Scene Nor' is a comical pantomime based around 'Flavio' - from 'soccer mad - Brazil' (played by William Atkin pictured above) But Flavio, he comes to stay at a beautiful Hawke's Bay camping ground, and he brings his 'family' - to relive his 2011, 2015 & 2019 'Rrrrrugby World Cup' memories with the locals!... He explores Napier taking in the legendry story of 'Pania of the Reef.'

 

 

Sydney based producer Megan Hanley is excited to present this summer programme alongside drama tutor William Atkin, Scotty Smith - sound and music and Karen Taiapa with her film works.  We welcome back Alexander Binns as D.R.E.A.M. scholarship winner and international scholarship winner 2017 as trainee assistant for this New Year programme.

​

Day 1 & 2: We get to know each other with a first dfay induction, become familiar with our venue and material we will be rehearsing.  Staff will coach workshops in drama and pantomime, with dance amalgamations, soundtracks & wearable art costumes.  There are daily warm-up exercises, storytelling with lots of fun to be had while learning creative art techniques.  We learn scripts and artistic direction in detail, while teachers take children through various parts applicable to your child's role.  We work together as a cast studying each other's parts for the film & multimedia acts of the show.

​

​

Day 3: ‘Mermaid & Merman’ pool excursion … Please sign the authority notice allowing your child to attend the Ocean Spa pool excursion Wednesday 8th followed by a location shoot with Pania.

Assuring a sun smart event, we ensemble our faculty staff of 4 so to supervise the children at all times, on an outing to the local Marine Parade Pools, as part of the location filming of our multi-media work being ‘Pania’.

​

We meet with the pools trained life guards, on hand for our visit.

Those 7 years and over, will have fun swimming with ‘Merfins, a water craze’ enjoyed by both girls and boys.

​

We assure the 6 – year old’s a fun time assisting them to supervised paddles in the shallows with our giant Toucan blow up birds!  (the little ones won’t miss out on the fun but as an obvious measured security, they are not permitted to swim in the big pool or wear the Merfins in the water.)

​

We enjoy our lunch as a picnic together, and then head back to the Duke Street arts centre. (NB: Parents are welcome to join us if they feel they’d like to.)

​

Days 4 & 5:  Our daily routine of ‘warm-up class’ and ‘Postman-Postman game’ to reveal our costumes, day four and five consists of character roles and rehearsing acts of the ‘sharing of work.’  Strong features are a medley of dance routines, drama techniques, pantomime and working with scripts as a film script.

We have a full-dress rehearsal during day four, and invite parents to a 4.00pm ‘sharing of work’ performance on our final day, 10th January at Lindisfarne, should our December funding be approved. NB: Yet to be confirmed… and if so both days 4 and 5 will be at Lindisfarne College.  If the funding is not approved, we continue as usual at Duke Street.
