BFF - The Here and Now :)



BFF Performed Blue Remembered Hills, a fantastic piece by Dennis Potter on Saturday the 4th of August 2012. The performance was a huge success and inspired many young performers to follow their love of performance. We gained a new base of operations also! We will now be based at Malpas Court Manor, Malpas, Newport.   

We also have a 'Youth Division' beginning this month! If you are between the ages of 11-18 and wish to join BFF-YD then contact myself or Liz for any information!

The BFF-YD will meet every Tuesday evening between 6-8 pm. Within these 2 Hour sessions young adults will learn a variety of techniques and new skills to progress as a performer. We will delve into the ideas of theatrical practitioners with regard to ways of movement, approach and character portrayal. I will put a link upon this page for anyone wishing to have a preview of some performance techniques to be discussed in future sessions. We aim to make BFF more of a 'learning zone' than simple drama club. Dancers, vocalists and actors are all more than welcome as im sure we have something to satisfy each performer as they strive to better themselves as an artist.

BFF-Core is the 18+ division of the the company and will oversee and assist any production the YD aspire to produce. They will also be a performing troupe themselves (this division brought you 'Blue Remembered Hills' in August of this year). This group will focus more on the direct application of skill, bringing audience the more shocking and hard hitting performance. Essentially this group will deliver plays rather than musical numbers. BFF-C also feature a band called 'The Natural Disasters' This band focus on the deliverence of Rock! and can be booked for any form of performance!

All Core team members are trained professionals and are CRB checked for safety and child welfare. We are non profit ensuring any money paid into the company will remain within the company for future performances. The majority of our team are qualified teachers in different key stages. Each member will shortly have a link from the site. Between the midst of Drama/Music teachers, Guitar-Guru's, Musical Masters, Performance Pioneers, Physical Frontmen/women anyone joining BFF is sure to not only improve as a performer, deliver A* displays of talent but most importantly HAVE FUN!!

Thankyou for taking the time to read this!
Look Forward to seeing you soon :)
