So I don't usually do other things for Yew Tree bar my usual Sapphire Session, but this time I did Miners! It's memorial service for family and friends of miners who have died due to mining incidents or mining related deaths.
Rehearsals at the dance school started around 3 weeks ago, and we spend the first session coming up with material for the script and by the next session we had finished a run of the play, it was a short 10-12 minute piece with just 4 rehearsals, so it all had to be materialised and learnt pretty quickly, it included the miners lamp, the hauling rope, miners family's and the child miner. Each role and each speech was chosen perfectly for the person playing it.
Over all the service was a huge success, lasting around and hour, speeches were read and hymns were sung, and not to forget we performed, and all in aid of miners families, a huge thank you to Sheffield cathedral and the mining community for having us and allowing us to put our own take and knowledge into a script and perform for you
