We are 4 years old!

This week we started celebrating by watching videos and listening to music.

Made by us!

The video was of our performance in January called ‘I am an artist’.

The music was made by us a few weeks ago when visiting the Dalston Eastern Curve Garden.

We had a great time writing and drawing all the bits we liked most.

We have decided to celebrate for a whole month, so stay tuned for more news.

Thank you to everyone who has performed, supported and watched our group grow. Here’s to another 4 years!

I am an artist!

Last week we had our first performance at the Arcola Theatre. It was great!

The performers gave 110%. The Arcola helped us make it look really professional with stage, lights and sound. Even the audience took part!

We will be in touch soon with some video clips for you to enjoy. We are also planning to take the show on tour in the summer. Watch this space!

Until next time...remember, we are all artists! Be creative and be happy.

From the company, Drama For All.

RELAX, CELEBRATE and SHINE!

This afternoon we took time to pause, celebrate and watch ourselves on a big screen! Over the last 10 weeks we’ve settled into our new home at the Arcola theatre, explored themes like friendships and the world. Both very important when we think about how Learning Disability Week 2016 and the EU Referendum made us feel! Not to mention...the football!

But back to drama. We’ve had a great spring season gathering ideas. We’re looking forward to our skills workshops in August when we will be exploring movement, music, mime and masks! Watch this space for photo’s galore!

We will then be back in September for our eighth season and lots more of our unique, creative, colourful and collaborative drama group updates. And news of our next show!

We can’t wait! Summer lovin’ to all!

This week Drama For All celebrated Learning Disability Week 2016 by creating a role play all about friends!

We talked about what it is like to have friends, from how we say hello, to what we talk about when we see them.

Then we made a role play about being confident and making plans with our friends so we see them more often!

44.6% of people with a learning disability do not think they spend enough time with friends.

We’re encouraging everyone to make new friends and be better friends this Learning Disability Week and beyond!

Hello blog friends,

Happy start of summer! We wanted to share some twitter love we recently recieved from our supporters at Advance! They came to visit us while we were busy planning our part of Learning Disability Week 2016 in June and our end of season finale in July. All about friendships, relationships and the world! It was a pleasure to show off all the hard work we’ve put in!

Stay tuned for more news on what we’re planning.

Until then!

DFA out.

Different place, same talent!

 We have a new home...at the Arcola theatre! It has a different atmosphere to our old home so it stil feels a bit strange. But we’re only two weeks in and we most like the stage lights here. It’s like being in a disco!

 We want to put on a performance in our new home later this year, and invite you all to see it!

 Stay tuned between now and July to find out how we are going to bring dancing, dj-ing, speeches and singing all together in a performance!  

 Cheerio for now!

We are proud to release our very first music video called ‘Dra-ma-ma Breakthrough!’ as part of Learning Disability Awareness Week 2015 #LDWeek15 

Starting in January talking about things we’ve overcome, as individuals and as a group. We are really happy with what our hard work has achieved. And it’s pretty cool too! Check it out and if you would like to tell us what you think send us a message or join us on twitter @ActivityForAll

Special thanks to Sarah who helped us write the song and Richard who helped us put the video together.

Enjoy!
