We need new members!
Fridays 4.30 - 6pm.
Taught by Judy Gordon and Hannah Mason
From Friday 4th January 2008
Price: £45/£18 concession
With the huge success of our first new digital arts course for our younger friends, we are going to run another set of classes which continue the work up to the show and beyond with new themes.
A fantastic introduction to new theatre using traditional performance skills with modern technology. Based on Montage’s forthcoming fundraising, Peter Pan, we will be creating scenes, filming and editing video and images which will be projected during and around the live performance. Interactive computer animation too. If you're doing other classes with Montage, you can still perform in those numbers/scenes too!
No experience necessary - just lots of enthusiasm. You will be performing with projection, taking photos and video and writing text, singing, dancing and acting. It all depends on what you want to create! Fun with make-up and costume too. A unique course offered by Montage.
Hope to see you there!
CONGRATULATIONS to all of Level 3 who danced at Sadler's Wells on Wednesday in 'Rumble'. The number 'Hairspray' was fabulous, costumes were fantastic and the whole evening was great fun. Thank you to all the parents who helped all along the way too - again we couldn't have done without you. Another night to remember!! Best wishes, Judy and Leigh.

Well done Tinu - we knew you'd do it! Tinu, a Montage student and mother of one of our littler students, has completed the sponsored 52.4 km double marathon and come in at number 48!! Click here to read of Tinu's story - a truly moving and joyous account of her day.
Tinu - words aren't enough to thank you for your support and commitment to Montage - it is amazing actions and your kind words like these that help make everything we do worthwhile.
The money Tinu raised is still being counted - and I will let you know very shortly. Any of you who sponsored Tinu or wish to donate to her fund, the fee can be given to Nicola at the office at the Albany or at the Summer School next week or even in the new term in September if you can't make it earlier.
Here is Tinu's certificate, her medals and a lovely photo of Tinu clearly enthusiastic before the race! We are so proud of you and once again - THANK YOU TINU!
Saturday 14 July 2007
Mountsfield Park, Stainton Road, SE6
In a fairy-tale setting on the Kid's Stage, over 100 children, young people and adults performed on a beautiful day.
Our Street Jazz 2 dancers on the Young Mayor’s Stage opened the day for this stage - and they brought a very enthusiastic crowd over to watch them.
Thank you to all of you - every single performer shone on these stages and did the Montage community proud! If you have any photos - do email them in please.
Have a wonderful summer and see you in the new year to continue our good work. And do bring your friends along - we need new recruits!!
Best wishes
Judy and the Montage team!
A huge WELL DONE to the Youth Theatre Company who performed TEECHERS by John Godber at The Albany, Deptford on Monday 2nd July 7:30pm
Some audience comments:
"funny, confident and brave perfomance from a very exciting group Well done!"
"this is the first amateur play I've been to when I could hear the cast perfectly. It made such a difference"
"excellent performance, from young talented performers!"
"what a result! they were all so confident and a wonderful ensemble..."
" a very funny play performed with tremendous enthusiasm and committment. Engaging and inspiring, this is what theatre is all about"
Some post-show cast members' thoughts...
'Over the last year I really think that everybody has worked so hard to get this far and to do so well with ”Teechers”. My character was easy with the lines but was harder to act, I really think that everyone has put so much into this and I think it really paid off. Thank you to everyone who has helped.'
'The experience of preparing a full play and performing it in such a professional space at the Albany was a completely new experience. I was terrified about there being problems or messing up lines etc, but in fact all of the hiccups in the play and on the way to it only added to the enjoyment of the process as we all managed to overcome them together.'
'I can’t believe my mum turned up. She said she couldn’t come. I was kinnda pleased but glad I didn’t know otherwise I would have been sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo scared and nervous. '
