At 10:35pm on January 14, 2009, Melanie Rashbrooke said…: It was lovely to meet you at D&D. Thanks for all your support of the Ning!
I still have a fair bit of work to do on it but its good to get it up and running and get the conversations flowing. I'll need to be recruiting you to help me!

At 10:42pm on January 13, 2009, Heather Taylor said…: Lovely to meet you too. I put a comment onto your thread about musicals. I'm looking to work with a composer to develop a musical which is very now. I realize I'm being a bit vague but basically need someone comfortable in the rock genre and who has some experience. Do you know where I might find some?

At 8:02pm on January 13, 2009, Clare Fischer (The Red Hedgehog) said…: Jenifer, that's great to be linked up. Thanks.

I'm very interested in musical theatre. Chris Grady was considering using the space as a workshop space for composers/librettists or for tryout performances, Do keep The Red Hedgehog in mind for similar. So far performances here have been mainly chamber music and a few lieder / song recitals (plus a couple of runs of theatre shows, some comedy and cabaret) but it seems to me that musical theatre is an obvious strand for here. We have a beautiful grand piano (Yamaha C7) and the space can be used either in formal layout with rows of chairs, or more cabaret style, tables & candles etc. Keep us in mind...!

Likewise, now I know about your org, I will keep a close eye on what goes on and hope to see something in the future, particularly of your own work.

All the best with current projects.

Clare

D&D March

Just a quick blog post to say thanks very much for another lovely D&D evening, and thanks to all those involved in the conversations I had this evening. Hope all went well on the other side of the pond!

Blogging about D&D4

After D&D4, I had a bit of an explosion. The first thing I did was to update my website. For years, I had only been putting up actual productions, or publishing things. You know: the stuff that happens once in a blue moon, so you rarely get to update your website. And it looks stale and old every time you go there, and you think shit, I achieve nothing of any worth.

But that's not true! My creative output is actually a lot more frequent and varied. I just wasn't putting up anything that was… Continue

Musicals

I write musicals, and I work with writers under the umbrella of Mercury Musical Developments. If anyone would like to know more about MMD and what they offer writers and composers, please do come and find me at D&D4 and I'll be happy to tell you all about them.

I'm also a lyricist and bookwriter who is always looking for inter-genre projects. Apart from the traditional side of the musical theatre genre, I'm interested in using spoken rhyme and rhythm, as well as co-creative storytelling thr… Continue

antidoting negative sneer

As theatre makers we cannot help but be exposed to strong feelings and often those feelings manifest themselves in a negative way; that's the nature of being cathartic

Creative Performance Laboratory commented on Melanie Rashbrooke's group 'D&D5 - London'

Has anyone ever been victim to comments like 'nobody is following you, who's going to want to take part? It's over, forget it! How did you deal with it?
