En Root Theatre Company: Beach Break Live 2010

Festival fever is setting in for the Summer of 2010 and our newly formed theatre company En Root is no exception to that craving. Oh how I've missed that fuzzy feeling that festivals so graciously provide.

We went last year and loved it, and this year's Student Festival Beach Break Live 2010's line up was similarly mighty fine.

So... we took our show 'Knickers-fulla-glory' comprising many eclectic elements of creativity for your viewing pleasure: including urban/ slam poetry from myself, Matthew Ferdenzi and Florence Espeut-Nickless, songs from a great new band Two For Joy, a sketch of a Doctor Who fanatic and a comedy sketch and song from two delicious single geeks. As you can imagine we had a ball and some!

The Correspondents were an absolute treat, mixing swing with a beautiful front man that possessed the most mesmeric hips I've seen in quite some time. Dan Le Sac VS Scroobius Pip, provided an afternoon delight as we hung out horizontally amoungst the grass and some grass and let his lyrical genius enter our open lungs, ears and minds. My only thought: Beats bubble in my bones.

The whole festival I found myself thinking: 'What a glorious way to celebrate finishing ones degree!' which incidentally I find out results for on July 7th: Yikarumba!

Until soon 'Love and that festival feeling'

Hello World. Hello West Side Story. Hello Atlantic.

Bonjour all,

Shucks it has been a while. Hasn't it?
Strangley enough life is still good, and there is another show about to burst into a theatre near(or there abouts) you! The Minack Theatre is so far away from City life; it's the perfect place for an evening of entertainment, or naturally an arvo avec a yummy picnic. It is an open air amphitheatre carved with precision and beauty into the Cornish cliffs at the very far east of Cornwall, south of Penzance.

We're performing one of the treats and classics of musical theatre: West Side Story there next week, and I landed the very fiery role of Anybodys, which I cannot wait to perform against the backdrop of the Atlantic.



'America'

Welcome to the West Side!

In true fashion Full Tilt are back and we are running at full pelt in our final phase 2 of rehearsals!



Jets Vs. Sharks: 'Prologue'




BIG NEWS:

As if the Atlantic didn't have enough sharks already, we've added a further two- in gang form. A huge welcome and well done to Suneil and Andrew as they jump right into the action and swim like no Shark has swum before in catching up with ALL the dances, scene work and songs.




FUN NEWS:

The set and costume's have arrived in full, filling the set with yet more colour. Y-Fronts on the washing line and hanging as happily as the cast's smiles, in awe of the phenomenal twenty strong orchestra who joined us in rehearsals last week.

Brass and woodwind glistening in the sun we're basking in the sunshine. Topping up Puerto Rican tans and working out for our pumped up American Jet Boys.




TICKET NEWS:

We're SOLD OUT! Great news for everyone involved! Thank you to all those who have eagerly shelled out to support us and enjoy a fantastic day of picnics and 1950's 'cool' entertainment.




We can't wait to get down to The Minack... Something' coming... pull up a chair!
The air is humming,
And something great is coming! ...
