Life is a Stage! C’mon Improvers

IMG_2800Are you ready to get up there and strut your stuff? Here’s your opportunity to face your fear of going on stage with a group of like-minded maggots! Join the follow on six-week class for those who’ve done the Beginner’s Act The Maggot class or if you have acting experience and want to nail a good audition piece. We’ll continue with the improvisation fun but will also do text work on individual monologues. The Monday night, following the last Thursday night class, everyone will have the opportunity to invite friends and family to support them as they get up on that stage. It’s great fun and such a buzz. These Improver Classes take place in Temple Bar and run on Thursday nights, 7.30pm-9.30pm from October 20th to November 24th with the showcase on Monday, Movember 28th in a city centre location. Course costs €180. Contact 087 374 4926 or actthemaggot@gmail.com to book your spot.

“Act the maggot took me to a place I haven’t been since I was a child. A place of pure joy. You meet great people from all walks of life and form firm friendships. I got to express myself in a way that I could never do in any conventional adult learning scenario and it made me feel like I was 10 feet tall.”
– Shane Lynam, Director, Elearn.ie

Great team-building testimonial just in!

Team“Amy facilitated a 2-hour team building / energising session for 50 colleagues and it was an outstanding success. The group quickly lost their inhibitions and everyone got to know each other in a completely new way. Above all everyone smiled and laughed throughout the session which was talked about for weeks afterwards. Amy followed the brief given to her and I would have no hesitation in recommending Amy if you want to inject some energy and fun into your team.” Frank Keating, Pensions Administration Manager, Aon Hewitt

If your dreams don’t scare you they aren’t big enough!

Sometimes we just need to be in the company of like-minded people to be reminded of our dreams and aspirations. It’s easy to get lazy and sluggish and forget some of the goals we used to have before life got in the way. Beginner acting classes help inspire confidence and clear thinking. Mindfulness meditation can help calm the mind in order to see clearly and make exciting plans. Creative writing helps get those hidden stories onto the page and gets the brain flowing with ideas again, especially in the group context with other adults. Remember to act the maggot as often as possible. It keeps us fresh, energetic and young at heart.

Another Beginners Acting Class done and dusted!

IMG_2802Yes, indeed, another crop of maggots finished up last night and, as usual, they surprised and entertained with great material and performances, not to mention the really way-out, hilarious improvisations they did – taking it to a whole new level! Well done. You should all be so happy and proud of yourselves. If you want, click here for information on upcoming courses.
