I'm currently on the StoneCrabs Theatre Training Programme and I am part of The Makers Of Theatre collaboration.
These last few days has marked six weeks until our first exciting venture - The Makers Of Theatre Festival 2008. I've now realised how much work has to be done in such a short space of time!
Our focus at the moment is on letting everyone know about the festival, as well as developing the craft of directing.
The Makers Of Theatre includes nine directors, an actress and a lightening designer but everyone has other interests, which adds to their character. These include writing, singing and design. I think this will make the festival a very diverse and interesting showcase of talent.
Today we have the opportunity to work with professional actors, so look out for the rest of the group's feedback as to how that goes!

It's six weeks until The Makers Of Theatre Festival!
Nine Directors, One Actor and a Lighting Designer would like to invite you to countdown to their next exciting venture: The Makers Of Theatre Festival 2008!
Coming from all disciplines and backgrounds we have met twice weekly since October for a single purpose - to create tomorrows theatre. Our work is varied and the play-reading festival includes text from the classic to the down right absurd. We believe this reflects the individuality of each director and the current need for diversity within theatre.
Each of us is participating on the Stonecrabs Theatre Training Programme 2008 / 2009.
This blog aims to provide a forum to discuss our ideas, document our progress and record our development. Feel free to leave comments or contact us.
We look forward to seeing you at the festival!
7-10pm on the 11th, 12, 13th December at The Albany
