This term we will be saying goodbye to Megan on the Wednesday Night PERFORM
IT! Group. Megan brought her fabulous musicality to the group and we want to thank
her for her time. Megan will still be teaching on her other courses here at Bloomin’
Arts, so you will still get to say a friendly hello.
FRIDAY EXPRESS IT!
From January Helen will be taking a step back as a lead tutor with the Express it!
Group. DON’T PANIC! She will still be a guest tutor this term and next term, teaching
the puppetry design and making on the groups’ project. It’s not goodbye just Au
revoir! Helen will be in roughly every 4 weeks with the group.

Hi everyone! My name is Rachel Martin, and I’m very
excited to be joining the team in the new year. I have
worked in disability arts for the last 10 years, specialising
in drama, physical theatre, singing and musical theatre.
My degree is in Performing Arts, which I think gives me a
pretty good foundation for my current work! I also have a
PGCE in post-16 education and a diploma in Music
Theatre Performance.
I have two little boys at home, so both my work and home
life are pretty busy, and that’s the way I like it! When I do
have any spare time, I love to read, as well as binge on a
good box set!
If you would like to join Rachel we have spaces available
on our Wednesday Evening PERFORM IT! Group.
6.30pm – 8.30pm or join through Zoom Only ( 6.45pm-
7.45pm) Fee for the 10 week term £60.00.
We offer a FREE taster session, so book yours with the
Bloomin’ Arts office on info@bloominarts.org.uk or call

Norfolk Festival and South East Dance to name a few! We were thrilled to be

What’s been happening at Bloomin’ Arts this term! Theatre Company News. December 2021 Hello Everybody, What an interesting year we’ve been having. Despite all the challenges the Theatre Company have been really busy. We may have been disappointed not to do our performance with Lingfield School or be a part of the Brighton Fringe Festival but we put all our energy into learning how to work together on Zoom and make a Film! Our filmed version of The Tempest is nearly ready…how exciting! We have researched the play, rewritten Shakespeare, adapted it for filming on Zoom, found our own costumes, become amazing characters and now Helen is learning how to edit on Premier Pro. Incredible fun., So what next? We have discussed possible projects and are keen to explore Radio Drama. This we can research and produce either in the room or on Zoom. Also the Theatre Company members are hoping to help promote Bloomin’ Arts as an organisation with everything from social media to presentations. Sending you all our best wishes.

Christmas Comics with the Friday Express it! group
As a group we have been creating comedic Christmas themed comic strips!
Wednesday -The Create It! group We had a lot of fun at the beginning of the term
turning ourselves into comic book characters.
We are looking to work together as artists to create an T.V style art show next year.
We have started the groundwork by researching and experimenting in a wide variety
of ways. We have looked at aboriginal art and produced some dotty pictures. We
have created a magic story and acted it out via table acting.
We have also drawn, painted and collaged landscapes. We have researched the
nature theme through dance.
