A Catch Up

So it's the first of June, meaning summer is officially here!
and also that my birthdays in a few days;)
I thought I'd give an update of whats happening at Fusion at the mo, for the ones who don't live nearby!

Dancing,
The Cabaret piece by the younger ones is looking great to the soundtrack of Girls Aloud, classic! There's been weeks of hard work, and the piece is looking slick and fresh, definately one to come see. Also the dance team are still working on and perfecting on their piece for Cabaret, which was performed at Vision earlier on in the year. There's a bit of tweaking to be done but by the show it will be perfect!
Chomp dance rehersal are going well too, with a set of routines ready to be entwined into the musical, including the shoe shuffle, which is a great choreography with added sound effects, urghhhhh. There are pieces work on as a whoole group and alos duets and solos. Giving a wide rage of styles! But come on, we have to love the finale! It's so much fun and very energetic!

Wednesday's Drama
The Cabaret acting is first thing on a Wednesday, and there is many little plays and scenarios that will have you in fits of giggles to leaving you on the edge of your seat! Including some fantastic accents from Sonia, a dramatic piece by Jordana and Levi and also, a piano playing Gracie! At the minute though, they in groups from 2 to about 5/6 they are doing scripted plays. Somes plays that older youth members will you remember!
Chomp acting, is so much fun, but a whole lot of noise from the amount of people in The Space! But with the scenes looking fantastic, including some great solos and group munching, the musical is coming together so well. It's going to be a great tour this summer! We even have our own back stage crew;) Including Makeup artist Sophie Grant and technician Tim Peacock. Not forgetting Jade whose helping with just about everything aswell as dancing!

Thursday's Drama
What a crazy lot at Lindsey! They're great!
The younger group are so dedicated and have so many new fresh ideas! Working with sponge puppets would be one of my favourtie lessons, watching them interact with each other! Then the older ones, at the mo are working on doing there version of Cinderella! it's looking great ca't wait to see it in the show!

Well that's a summery of the things I see at Fusion, but there's plenty more going on!
There's new classes at Caistor Yarborough on a Tuesday starting too!
Well seen as I'm meant to be revising for my exam tomorrow, I'll end it here.
Hope everyone's enjoying the sun!

for not writing last week,
even with a letter from the younger group, when I wasnt there.
i still didnt manage a blog, so i apologise!

but lets talk about this week.

Sponge fun!
give a kid a cut sponge;to balance and squidge and make shapes, the imgaination you result with is awesome!
it was fantastic, with great team work too!
there were buildings made and balancing acts too!

in the second group, a short story was made from objects emma had bought in,
a comb, photo graph, pen, torch and teddy.
and we got a lovesick teenage boy, wanting to tell two girls his true feelings?!
with some fanastic short scenes made in twos,
we really got to see what this boy was like!

Pulling the trick out of the bag!

So were on our third Thursday, everyones getting comfortable, and everyones coming out their shells!
with lots of new people too, with the young class doubling in size, and a few new faces in the older group.

The younger group were pulling props out of a bag and making characters around them!
It seemed to be all scary, including witches and masked monsters! I don't know about them, but I certainly had nightmares:P

The second group had some fun! with acting games building up ideas and confidences! We also did a scene were an action had to be repeated over and over, but someone else had to come in the scene. Completely improvised, it showed how well everyone worked together and off other people's ideas!

I enjoyed this week, everyone seems so into it giving a 100%. it's a shame i cant make this Thursday, but with the dance group performing, it's impossible!
but i'll update the week after!

The whole group had been rehearsing since January to make up, rehearse and learn 2 newcomers a 10 minute dance piece including 4 songs this has been very hard work but worth it in the end rehearsals have been stressful and times but really really FUN,within are rehearsals we have learnt how to trust each other,help each other and just really work as a TEAM to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible which has been so much easier making the dance,everyone in our group is friendly and confident and welcomes any newcomer's along the way:).

Let's go to Japan.

It is 21 days, 7 hours, 22 minutes and 57 seconds
until FYT leave for Japan :)

There was a small meeting for participants of the trip last night at the central hall to discuss, well anything anyone had any queries about. Everyone needs to check (if you plan on taking one) that their mobiles phones work in Japan because apparently alot don't :\ Also Emma is taking her laptop and if anyone else is thinking of taking theirs you need to let her know, because there is no point in everyone taking one :) If anyone was wondering about plugs, ask gracie, because I cannot remember what she said. A few sheets were given out with other various details which you've either already got or will be given sometime in the near future. Can everyone let us know if they can go to Universal Studies sometime soon aswell because only four people have given there slips back D: Thank youu.
Another fundraiser was held last night, THE QUIZ NIGHT.
so firstly well done to Taylors for being the overall winners.
There was a lot of controversy over one particular question, the one about what non mechanical sport reaches the highest speeds (or words to that effect)? That will be a forever argued answer 8-) someone find out :)
well done to people who won the raffles aswell,
bouncy castle at the loveshack anyone?
I think overall it was a fun night. EVERYONE remember: morrisons bag packing this saturday, recruit as many people as possible because we need all the help we can get :)
Also,me and Jasmine are doing the triathlon on sunday, does anyone else want to join in it's proper not too late and get sponsored.
anyone send me any pictures from saturday?

Quiz Night!

Hi all!

Don't forget that this Saturday is QUIZ NIGHT!!

7pm-9pm at the Grimsby Central Hall, win some fab prizes :-) There will also be treats and refreshments, raffle and other games to get involved in.

A great social night out! Bring as many people as possible, entry is JUST £1 each and there is a maximum of 5 members to any quiz team. Brilliant fundraiser for Japan and FYT!

(there will be a drop in session from 6pm-7pm for those going to Japan to pick up final bits of info and ask any questions)

Talent Competition Night!

On Friday 6th March people travelled far and wide to Lindsey School in order to watch a Talent Show competition to raise funds for Fusion Youth Theatre’s trip to Japan. Prizes and trophies were given to competitors by guest judges and by the audience’s vote. Guest judges included Actor/Writer/Director/Mastermind Andy Evans, ex-FYT member and current Drama Uni student Tim Henton and Dance Coach Kerry Ward. Raffle and refreshments were gorged upon and entertainment was enjoyed by all, not only from the competitors themselves but also by compere Gracie Mason who did a splendid job at introducing all of the acts.
The audience and judges must have had a hard time grading a whole host of different acts, from Global Twirlers to Dramatic Monologues but by the end of the night there were two much deserved winning acts: Holly Hockaday, who won the judges’ vote with her rendition of the song ‘The Blower’s Daughter’ (originally by Damien Rice) as well as Sonia Chauhan and Rachel Twomey who performed a dance piece to Lily Allen’s ‘Fear’. Holly had a lovely voice with good resonance and emotion, whilst Sonia and Rachel did a wonderful dance which was perfectly in time, complete with quirky props and moves.
There can only be one winner… Okay two in this case, but shush! However other acts do deserve a mention, who could forget Charlotte Adams’ rendition of ‘Part of that world’ from the awesome Disney film ‘The Little Mermaid’ or Charlotte Parkins’ wonderful interpretation of a dramatic monologue written by Gracie, the compere herself, which had an unexpected ending being revealed by a very flustered and hyperventilating lady. Fun and laughter was had by all and it was overall a very good night, even if Charlotte Adams seemed to have all the luck and managed to win most of the raffle prizes! Thanks must go to a wonderful audience and some wonderful talent!
Over and out,
Taylor ~

Chomp gets a kick!

Well, Wednesday night was an action packed night wasn‘t it guys, we had a William Ilkley come in and show us stage combat for the evening, those who missed it, not to name any, (Kristian) missed out on a great opportunity. We got taught NINJA moves! Well I suppose that is a little exaggerated, but William still showed us some great fight moves to use on stage.

He taught us how to use the stage and in what positions to stand to make the moves look real, he showed us how to react to the blows we took, ( we didn’t really but don’t let the audience know) and he also showed us how to make the actions look real without hurting anyone. He taught us how to punch, slap, kick, pull hair, and for all you bullies, how to slam heads on tables, sounds pretty ninja to me. The night was extremely fun to everybody, unfortunately if you missed out, better luck next time, hopefully he will come down again, using his own time, just for us, very generous, ( it’s because we are so good). Can’t wait to fit it into our fight scenes in Chomp, the audience will be blown away!
