Opportunity to partcipate in Games Time - Derby - Sept.

Dear student,

I’m working on the recruitment for Games Time, an outdoor spectacular theatre show that will be coming to Derby in September. It will be a spectacular, live, outdoor stage show combining music, video, fireworks, professional dancers and 160 members of the local community.

We think this is a challenge you can rise up to and take part in. Participating in Games Time ensure that you will be part of celebrations for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Being part of the Games Time show will be an exhilarating and rewarding experience – one that will enable you to significantly develop your CV. Games Time will also build your self-confidence, team skills, perseverance and strength. Through your involvement, you’ll gain work experience and understanding about how a professional, world-class show is staged.

You will work with professionals who are the top of the game: Lea Anderson, Walk The Plank and Mahogany. On Games Time, you’ll gain an understanding of how a major show is put together, and the different professional jobs within the artistic, operational and technical teams.



Games Time will be an adventurous and challenging new experience, and one that is close to home. You can sign up with your friends; this inter-generational opportunity is open to anyone over the age of 13.



It is free to take part: the professionally led workshops and costumes will all be provided.



I’m very happy to meet up with you, if you’d like some more information. There’s a short film on the website www.gamestime.org.uk which shows the (pilot) Skegness performance last summer and will give you a sense of the striking theatricality of the show.



The key dates are:

• Returning you expression of interest form – 10 February 2012

• Games Time taster sessions – March 2012

• The Derby 4 week rehearsal period and performance period August/September 2012



I really hope you’re able to take up this opportunity. Please do contact me or Claire Limb c.limb@deda.uk.com with any questions.



Best wishes,

Antoinette
