The Nomes Showcase & Spring Term
On Saturday 29th the theatre was buzzing with Nomes for their showcase. Well supported by their parents, the youngsters put on a 30 minute show involving masks, mime, storytelling and improvisation. The piece had been pulled together in just four weeks and the potential this group of Nomes have was clear to see. Well done to all involved and also to Edd Mott who conceiced and directed the show. Our plans for restructuring the Nomes have been running smoothly thanks to Bill Pearson and Bel Bussicott. Next term's classes will run for two hours each week. We are delighted that Edd has agreed to stay with the Nomes for the Spring term and he will work alongside another resident tutor with visting tutors also joining them to teach specialised skills.
