Drama
Workshop Press Release
Filet685
Productions, with project funding from the US Embassy in Apia, are running
their first official Community Youth Drama Workshop, and although the age group
targeted is 16-25 years of age, exceptions for younger children with a penchant
for the performing arts are being made.
Creative
husband and wife team Naea Asolelei To’alepai and Fiona Collins-To’alepai are
excited about the upcoming workshop and sharing their knowledge, experience and
training with the local youth. The
participants will get to PLAY - play with dialogue text, monologues, drama
games and story-telling through movement and sound. They will also be given some basic acting for
screen and audition coaching, as well as basic lighting techniques and stage
etiquette.
Naea and Fiona
are hoping that through this workshop the participants will not only gain
performance skills, but also enjoy the pathway of self-discovery and confidence
through drama and the performing arts.
Their prior
work in Samoa have included various stage plays (aloFA, Where We Once
Belonged, Pele’s Stars, Frangipani Perfume), a seven-episode radio drama (Fa’atino Lou Valaauina”) and several
pantomime children’s pieces (Little Red
Riding Hood, Three Little Pigs, Magic
Moments).
