Drama Dubai is expanding to Abu Dhabi!



Position for Part-Time Drama Instructor in Abu Dhabi

From January 2010 Drama Dubai is looking to expand into Abu Dhabi and offer a generic Drama Course for beginners.

The term will start in mid - late January 2010 and last approximately eight weeks. Classes will be 2 hours per session, once a week and held on Saturday's, and if numbers dictate, a second class will be added on Thursday OR Friday Evenings depending on the teacher's (and our) preference.

This job would suit somebody already in the teaching profession who wishes to make a bit of extra money and gain experience teaching adults. It is out intention to have two or more classes running three times a year (as we do in Dubai) and so good earning potential and future expansion is there for the right person.

Applicants will need to be extremely well-organized and have a good subject knowledge, practical ability and the class management skills to deliver the course to classes of 10 - 15 adults and have them walk away begging for more. Workshops include sessions on improvisation, voice, stagecraft, and are flexible enough to allow and even encourage your own input.

Please see the www.dramaworkshopsdubai.com website for a detailed breakdown of what we do and pay particular attention to the adult courses that we offer!

Interested applicants can email tiffany@dramaworkshopsdubai.com.

Casting Call!


Two Dutch artists are looking for actors for their City Portrait project. A city portait will exist out of 24 one-minute films, all of them focussing on different aspects of the city. The city portraits (http://www.cityoneminutes.org) are an initiative from the Dutch-based One Minute foundation and will be shown during the Shanghai World Expo.

Essentially this means they will have many small parts to fill. The roles will be partly derived from existing scenes (monologues and dialogues) from (Hollywood) movies.

They have expressed an interest in a number of the actors on our website, but are interested in meeting all of those who may be interested. Also let them know of any other talents such as singing etc. The meetings will take place on Tuesday evening and Wednesday evening from 6 PM to 9 PM in the Basta Art cafe in Bastakia Quarter. They will do a small interview and maybe some coldreading.

The interviews will be scheduled, so please contact Margit directly to make an appointment to see the, The interview would not be more then 30 minutes.

We would shoot the scenes Friday and Saturday. Since it's a cultural institution everything is done on a very tight budget there will be a small fee.

If there's people who would like to audition but can't make it during the proposed time we could arrange another time/location.

Interested actors, please contact Margit at (0) 50 9707456.
