Agenda Events is proud to present Ellie Cummins and Colin Broderick in a Writing Workshop
Colin Broderick is a writer from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. He lived in New York for twenty years where he had his first play ‘Father Who, produced in 2003. Broderick has most recently been published in The New York Times. He is here in Prague with his wife Renata and their dog and cat for the past six months finishing his drinking memoir ‘Orangutan’ which will be published in the US, in the spring of 2009 by Three Rivers Press.
Writer Ellie Cummins’s play The Sacred Sow plays The Rubin Theatre Malastranka May 25th to June 1st. The play has attracted Eileen Pollack, stage and screen actress, in the lead. Ellie has a background as long as your arm in the arts, theatre, touring, short films, music and dance, often radical and challenging. Ellie Cummins has studied theatre, dance, and music and has a BA in English.
How do you access that primal beat? How do you write and get a flow? Where does the spark of inspiration come from? There are very practical ways to get your voice heard.
Check out Colin and Ellie’s workshop and get some answers!

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to share with all of you the amazing experience that I had working on Kent’s film yesterday. It was my first film ever, and indeed, my first acting experience since beginning Meisner training. As difficult as it has been to get those emotional juices flowing in the context of Meisner exercises in class, I’ll have to say that… in the context of a real story… I was wowed by the power of basic repetition as a way to tap into the subtext of the story that we were working on and to bring up emotions… sometimes in totally unexpected ways… as well as to form a connection with the other characters. Kudos to Kent for finding ways to get us on track and to get us focussed and draw those emotions out. I wish you all could have seen him working with the precocious child actor who “never gets irritated.” It was really precious, and I wish that moment had been caught on film. (more…)

THE BEAR EDUCATIONAL THEATRE is looking for actor-teachers to play in professional educational theatre shows now and in the new school year.
The Bear Educational Theatre is a stable full-time professional theatre company that plays shows mostly for school audiences in the Czech Republic, Austria and France. There are one or two Bear Theatre teams playing somewhere on most working days.
Because of illness and visa troubles we are looking for a couple of people who could play something almost immediately. This is also a good chance to test if you are suited to the work before taking a bigger plunge in the new school year.
For more information on the theatre and the shows visit www.bearproject.cz
Then if you are interested in joining the team, travelling, playing and getting paid (average 1200Kc per working day) please contact David Fisher (tel: 777 134272) to learn more.
