Play In a Week - 2007

Over the October half term our Artistic Director, Matt Green worked with eighteen young people aged 8 – 14 to produce a play around the Halloween theme.
On the Monday of the half term the group assembled to start devising and by the Friday they had a 20 minute play – all crafted from the imagination of the young people.  The group play lots of games and had lots of fun whilst creating the short play. They looked at and created ghoulish characters like Frankenstein and Dracula as well as some lesser known ghosts and zombies. 

The group of young people came from all over the Erewash borough and were part of the MACCA projects ran by Erewash Borough Council. This year’s show took place at Friesland Sports Centre in Sandicare and with the great help by all the staff, the group were able to produce the play.

Annual Robin Hood Pagent 2005

Filmed over the weekend 'Robin Hood Pagent' at Nottingham Castle.

We where hot on the heels of the Sherwood Forest Trust again shooting a short film documenting their work at the Pagent. Shot over two days we had a challenge on our hands to try and make what normally would be a dull video something interesting and exciting! Working with the theme of chasing Robin our short film followed the work of the trust over the weekend as they tried to increase the knowledge of local people about their work within the forest...and how the people can help keep the forest as it is today for future generations.

Filmed by Matt Green & James Glazebrook, photography by Matt Green.

Angela Truby Website

The main concept for this site was naturalistic, simplistic, angelic and creative.  The colour scheme was created by looking at colours found naturally in the world - creams, hessian, browns, and reds.  Feeling was added from natural paper textures and brushed stone. 

The original structure for this site can be broken down in to three main sections - header, body and footer.  The header was designed to give a natural, free, feeling with a certain professionalism.  The body of each page follows a much lighter version of the headers colour scheme and is made to represent a soft feeling of paper.  The pages end with a strong footer that is designed to show a definite end to the page while still holding on to the colour scheme shown in the header.
