Anyone heard of Bigfoot Theatre company ??

[nutcracker]

Noticed a poster in local shop window for them, they are starting a drama group at a local community centre in May.

Have looked on the site, but the page for drama groups doesn't seem to be working.

Has anyone got any experiance of their child attending one fo the groups ??

Anyone, I think it is a London company, thought some of you from round ther might have heard.

bump

No one ? Or have I just been sent to coventry ??

i havent heard of them nutty

any londoners?

Beety may know of them

Thanks Jampot, have emailed them through another area of their site.

It's exactly the sort of thing I am looking for for Dd2 to do, but fear it will be quite expensive. Although if it is they may not get much custom as the community centre where it will be held is smack bang in the middle of the local council estate.

nuthin wrong with Coventry

Never been there myself i don't think.

BigFoot not terribly well regarded in the Youth Drama networks, for a variety of reasons, which may or may not be a factor for you, and which are based on matters of professional opinion. Repeat 'opinion'.
Yes, likely to be expensive, as they operate as a commercial enterprise. They are considered unpopular by many established arts education providers as they undercut rates (by paying low costs to tutors), and when going into schools offer their service as a replacement for supply teachers.

In all honesty, your kids would probably have a great time in the session, and if there's nothing else available close enough to where you live, it's worth a try. Contact the Birmingham Rep Education department, or your local Council Arts Officer and ask about local groups?
