Month: December 2020

2020 has brought challenges, but also some highlights we want to share before the year is over! Brickworks Drama School shot its first film – “Search for the Selfish Elves” – with support from Creative Communities and the Henderson-Massey Local Board. We collaborated with Wild Things Art School (with funding from Creative New Zealand’s “Creatives in Schools” grant) to offer a drama-art workshop series at Te Atatu Intermediate School, exploring the theme “Being Seen”. And we worked via Zoom to complete our first international collaboration – “Racconti italiani di Natale 2020 – Italian Christmas Tales 2020”. Italian director, Gianluca Barbadori, directed some of our students in the reading of these short stories, with support from Istituto Italiano di Cultura Sydney and the Italian Embassy. Looking forward to more adventures through drama in 2021! Ngā mihi o te tau hou

Meri Kirihimete Brickworks Whānau! Wishing you a safe and happy festive season! We’ll be running drama workshops for one week in January: Mon 18th – Fri 22nd Jan. Individual day bookings are available and we will open enrolments before the New Year (and post again to let you know).

And here’s what’s making us laugh this Christmas – the SNL “Mom Got a Robe” sketch. It’s not too late to avoid this scenario, people!
