Film Shoot Update!!!

Due to other commitments, the CRASAC Film Shoot has been postponed for 1 week to Saturday 8th November, 9am in Flushing. Venue to be confirmed.

Have a good Halloween one and all!

NO KYSPA Tuesday 22nd July

Still no resolution on the room (at least not one we can afford!).

BUT we will be shooting on the 28th july. Info to follow.

Room Crisis - No KYSPA Tonight

Sorry folks, have been so far unable to secure a room for us to use - though I am working on it! There will be no KYSPA this evening (Tuesday 15th July) but I'll hopefully have sorted it by next week.

Meantime, feel free to look at the youtube films in the margin (hopefully the follywood links are working now) as well as the case study gothic "horror" music vid below.

Please hold... normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Tuesday 18th March

Haven't had any script updates from CRASAC yet, so no KYSPA tonight.

Tuesday 11th March

To clarify, I'd like the three CRASAC actors tonight please! Please bring your scripts. Thanx rich.

Tuesday 4th March

For those with attention span issues, a quick reminder that there is NO KYSPA tonight!

Reminder - NO KYSPA

Tuesday 4th March will NOT be a KYSPA night due to a charity event in Falmouth. CRASAC Peeps, please learn your lines! Ta.

Tuesday 26th Feb

Same peeps as last week for much the same activities. We'll start by filming some extra shots for CRASAC DvD involving everyone. Then the Chavs & Emos can get back to their war but should try filming some of these scenes to figure out how the film will actually work.

Tuesday 12th Feb

Meeting is on tonight. Vallery, Tyndall, Carrington, Kapok Kid, Brooks, Marshall, Nicholls & Riley

See you there!

Sunday Rehearsal

In addition to Brooks, Nicholls & Kapok Kid, Could I have Vallery & Tyndall if you're around please? 3.00pm - 4.30pm. If you can't make it, please call - it's a long walk from Mawnan Smith! ta muchly.

No KYSPA tonight. Very Sorry but....

Post-op my only instructions were not to catch a cold. For one week. I managed less than a day before catching one & it has caused my recovery to be "postponed".

What with the dizziness, double vision etc I feel that perhaps KYSPA would not be a good plan tonight! Apart from anything else, seeing TWO of everyone would be just plain scary!

We will resume the scheduled rehearsalas on Sunday as per the letter.

Apologies again, Rich.

PS, Thanks to the two die-hards for a good rehearsal on Sunday!

Tuesday 15th January

Full Cast again please this eve. Can EVERYONE bring whatever scripts they can lay their hands on. Many thanks.

Meeting at the Youth Space this eve.

Cheers, Rich.

Tuesday 8th January - Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone, hope you have recovered from all that Christmas food!

With the holiday over, we need to get serious about Panto Rehearsals! More on that later, however.

TUESDAY 8TH JANUARY's SESSION WILL RUN FROM 6pm - 8.30pm.
Please come wearing your KYSPA T Shirts for that added level of professionalism. Thanks.

That's half an hour EARLY, folks!!! (Remember to wrap up warm!)

This will NOT be a panto rehearsal but the first pre-production meeting for the CRASAC DVD. Present will be representatives from CRASAC, the film company and Tir Na. Parents may attend if they wish. Just a few of our members will be needed at this session so if you don't hear from me, you do not need to attend at this stage - learn your lines instead!

For anyone new, read about this project in the September archive on the 11th and 16th September. Let me know if you would like to be involved.

All participants need to regard this as a professional acting project - because that is exactly what it is albeit unpaid. The film is for national release into schools and youth organisations. For anyone interested in acting or TV/Film as a career, this is a unique opportunity and important first step.

I expect you to approach this project as young adults and professional actors. I'm expecting a lot of you, but I know you can, and will, deliver. Please arrive at the building quietly and in the right frame of mind to get down to some serious work, rehearsing and discussion. Our reputation rests quite heavily on the success of this project and you will be making a first impression upon a growing local film company we may wish to work with again.

SNOW WHITE rehearsals will be scheduled for Sunday pm at the end of the week. From here on, we will rehearse at least twice a week, possibly 3 times. We need to be ready by the end of the month. Just a "heads up".

Tuesday 18th December

FULL PANTO RUN THROUGH tonight!

PLEASE bring scripts and I need a FULL CAST turnout please!

We will run through the entire play, start to finish as if for a performance. I'll need your patiencce and cooperation AND your concentration!

See you there, 6.30pm. Rich.

Tuesday 11th December

6.30 - 7.30 7 Children, Cind, Snow, PP Watt & Wen

7.30pm - 8.30pm Dyllan, Snow, Mirror, PP

Tuesday 4th December

6.30 - 7.30 7 children & Snow White & Cinderella please! (and Sam) Scenes 8, 11, 12, 13

7.30 - 8.30 FULL CAST for scenes 12 & 13.

PLEASE cooperate tonight. Scenes 12 & 13 are going to be the hardest to get right. You're going to have to be patient and stay focussed. Cheers.

Also, could you check with parents if you are available any Sunday Afternoons please? Time is running away with us & we need to step up the rehearsal rate now.

Tuesday 27th November

This evening we will need ONLY the principles, the Princesses, Cruella and Long John. That is, Snow, Mirror, Dyllan, PP, Watt, Wen, Queenie, Ariel, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Craven & Ghoul.

We will be working on "There's Always Me" and "The Establishment Song" including experimenting with the use of backing singers to support the soloists.

The Children need not attend this evening - we will hold a rehearsal for just the 7 children for the first hour next week.

Tuesday 20th November

Split rehearsals tonight please! Dress warmly!

6.30pm - 8.30pm Queenie, Snow, Mirror, Dyllan, Watt, Wen, Peasemold (Sam & Estelle too please)

7.30pm - 8.30pm OMF, 7 Children, Cinderella & Princesses

Any new people will have to read in/take standby parts and help manage props etc.

Hopefully I'll have got photocopies of the script by tonight. Queenie now has two henchpeople of her own (Sam & Estelle) called Craven & Ghoul! They're VERY nasty, evil witch type characters who put nasty ideas into Queenie's head!

I have beefed up the Princesses parts a bit too. See you all tonight

Tuesday 6th November

KYSPA as usual this evening... except it's not as usual! We advertised for Snow White auditions so I'm expecting a few new faces tonight. Hopefully we'll be able to put the core cast together and start learning (or re-learning) lines.

I expect better behaviour from some of you this week please. Think about other people's feelings and respect them. Also, KYSPA is NOT the place for charging around & mucking about. Sorry, but you need a different youth group for that. We're moving towards establishing a good reputation for producing serious drama and films.... and children's entertainment.... and pantomime.

The point is, we need to get these shows done. If some of you remember your panto lines from last year I see no reason why we can't move towards performance immediately after Christmas.

See you all there. Rich.

Tuesday 29th October

NO KYSPA tonight (in case you forgot) due to the school holidays. Adverts have been placed in the local press for Snow White auditions to be held over the first two weeks of the next half term.

We need to get stuck right in with serious rehearsals straight away. Christmas is-a-coming!
