From: Jamie Smith
Hello
I am a student at Stirling University who is working with a small group to make a radio drama. We are currently looking for actors to appear in it and ,even though there is no singing involved, I wondered if any of your members would be interested in auditioning for a part?
We are looking to cast two people (one male and one female) to a play a father and a daughter who are both reporters working during a terrorist attack. We would like to hold the auditions at the university on the 4th of November but we are happy to arrange something different if we get some interest.
Could you please pass my email address: jss04@students.stir.ac.uk on to anyone who is interested. Also, if you know of any other drama societies in the area that I could contact I would be very grateful if you could send me their details.
Thanks
Jamie Smith

THEATRE SUMMER SCHOOL 2008
A weeklong drama training holiday
Swansea University 10-16 august
Wales based charity, the Drama Association of Wales (DAW), announces the launch of its latest training project – THEATRE SUMMER SCHOOL 2008. A week-long residential training holiday designed for amateur actors and directors. Reap the benefits of a week of working hard and playing hard at our Summer School. And all for the price of a last minute bargain holiday!
BEING BOLD: Steps Towards Braver Productions Summer School 2008 will explore plays with BIG ideas. Working in groups, participants will discover the poetics and structure of the language of plays that ensures vital theatre.
So often during short rehearsal periods, amateur theatre companies are forced to work to tight deadlines. The advantage of a week-long summer school is that it allows the artists to experiment with new, challenging and exciting rehearsal techniques that can invigorate a pressured rehearsal period. The course will encourage the artist to be brave and experiment with new rehearsal techniques that could lead to a more ambitious theatre making process.
Using techniques of Brainstorming, Unitting, Actioning and the discovery of short term and super objectives alongside character motivation the participant will investigate a number of classic and popular texts for large groups of actors with a view to creating exciting, relevant theatre.
At the end of the week there will be the opportunity to show back the work created.
This year’s tutors are Phil Clark and Rebecca Gould… Phil Clark is returning to tutor the 2008 course after excellent feedback from his course last year. Phil has worked extensively in the UK and Europe as a Director and established Britain’s largest annual Youth Theatre Festival. From 1990 to 2006 he was Artistic Director of the Sherman Theatre Company in Cardiff where he prioritised new writing and commissioned over 100 new plays. Phil teaches regularly at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Actors’ Centre London, Tishe School of Performing Arts New York and the National Association of Youth Theatre’s Summer Festival.
Tutoring alongside Phil will be Rebecca Gould who has specialised in directing new plays. Until recently she was Associate Director at the Theatre Royal Plymouth. Currently she is a Learning Associate at the RSC. She has also recently directed as an Education Associate at the National Theatre.
We offer discounts to DAW Individual members which means that you can book on to this course for as little as just £420 And that includes tuition, accommodation and all meals!
To book your place on the course or for full details on the course, please contact Gary Thomas on 029 2045 2200 or email him at (omitted)

Shakespeare At Traquair House, Peebles
Shakespeare at Traquair
I got the following post through the mail. It's a bit of a trek from Stirling, but sounds fun if you're in the area.
--
Shakespeare at Traquair is a community theatre group based in Peebles – Scottish Borders and every year since 1995 we perform one of Shakespeare’s plays.
Together the cast, crew and audience experience Shakespeare in the beautiful grounds of Traquair House.
This year’s production is The Merry Wives of Windsor and I would be very grateful if you could forward this email to anyone who might be interested.
I hope to see you at Traquair!!!

Welcome!
Hi, and welcome to the new SABOS blog!
The idea behind this is fairly simple. I occasionally get things sent to me that I think would be of general interest, but don't really justify a full web page on their own. So from now on I shall publish them here.
If you have anything you want added to the blog, please let me know and I shall post it here.
So how do you read the blog? You can click "subscribe" below, and then Internet Explorer will check for any changes to the blog every day.
Also, I shall update the SABOS Facebook group to make sure it grabs blog posts automatically.
Enjoy!
