Perform L8 at The Leverhulme Festival

Perform L8, Dingle Community theatre's Youth Group, which meets in the Kuumba Imani centre every Monday, is well into its latest project...to be performed at the Gladstone Theatre in Spring as part of the Leverhulme Drama festival.

The piece they will be doing is on Homelessness and is loosely based on the book "Stone Cold" which follows the adventures of a young homeless person in London.

Perform L8 is facilitated by Su Burke and is open to all young people...0771 684 8894 or info@dinglecommunitytheatre.co.uk for more information

Lipa project

Tomoko, our member from Japan, has invited the group to take part in a Lipa Community drama Project coming up in April. Five different groups from across liverpool will be worked with to create 10 minute improvisations on the theme of the environment. The pieces will be performed at Lipa, and connected together by students from the Community Drama Course.



Tomoko and Anna, a fellow student, put the idea to Dingle Community Theatre's community drama group at the Casa last monday and got a good reception.



Tomoko and Anna will now lead a special workshop on March 9th.



The community Group is proving quite popular at the Casa and is working on a Chaucer piece to be performed at the Casa and maybe elsewhere (see previous posts)



Talking of the Environment, it was good to hear about a new Tesco's to be built on Park Road, near our stomping grounds in the Dingle.



But, is anything being built in the community apart from Houses and supemarkets?



What about a theatre? Or places for people to meet and be creative? Isn't Social Cohesion supposed to be a priority? We've been campaigning for a Theatre in the Dingle for ages...what do you think?
