Their history goes back to
1997, when, in a moment of HEAVENLY inspiration, out of the HELL of endless
rehearsals there was born a theatre group that has taken part in every English
theatre festival organized in Romania ever since. People know them for their
original scripts, exuberant directing, and dynamic acting. They know them for
the performances that are 100% percent theirs, from costumes to setting. They
probably know them for their English flavoured with various accents throughout
the years. They know them for the long list of awards spiced with Best
Performances Prizes several times. What they would like the people to know
about them is this: above all, they are a TEAM! For is it not true that all of
them have Heaven and Hell inside.
Nobody’s Group was born
between 1998-1999. That was a very long time ago, and it is hard to remember
how it happened. It all started from the idea of giving high school students
the oportunity to mix drama with a spot of fun. Throughout the years, Nobody’s
Group have taken part in most of the English Drama Festivals across the country
such as T4T Timisoara, Ingenious Drama Festival Bacau, Magic Fest Suceava, Viceversa
Cluj and IDEO IDEIS in Alexandria, from where they returned with many prizes
and nominalizations. They had fun, there were great plays and there were bad
plays, but there was always much to learn out of all this too. There were love
sories and changes, but in the end one thing has stayed the same: Nobody’s
Group always comes back.
It’s a bit unusual to call us
a theatre group because we don’t see things in that way when we say SILVER O5
.Yes, we are a group of actors who are very amateur amateurs (silver joke) ,
but beside all this , we are a crazy , hard – working , funny and united group
which we consider as being our true unique second family , we know that we can
rely on each other when needed and we we’re born to perform in order to create
shows easy to remember and hard to forget. Han , Razvan , Ilo , Olar , Maca ,
Naravasha , Costin , Boda , Ratza (lords of epicness and awesomeness) – we
we’re born as individuals and individuals we will die , but one day we will
remember that we we’re part of a team – SILVER O5 .
4 years! 4 years of proudly
and enthusiastically existing as In The Spot! Our little adventure began
on Tuesday, 15th January 2008 and, over the years, we managed to
successfully develop, becoming the extremely close-knit group you can
currently see. As weird as it sounds, we get prouder and prouder
because during this period of time we won a lot, we lost a lot, laughed a
lot, cried a lot, travelled a lot, played a lot, worked a lot, but
most importantly, we did all these things together, evolving with every
single play and every single challenge. It all started with an ideal and
ended up in generations of friends and numerous achievements. We have been
on a journey, which took hundreds of characters and years of hard work and
commitment. We have performed in dozens of plays and won various prizes,
but what is more important is the fact that we have learnt all the way, trying
to give our best from generation to generation, and to each and every
generation. We take great pride in being members of this group and we have
fond memories of the friends we made along the road! :)
The Hooleelogans was born
in fall 1997 at an English camp at Garana. Their first “creation”, “Candid
Camera” is a one-act play and was written by a team of 12 pupils. In the very
same day the play was written it was also recorded and played. Starting from
that day, The Hooleelogans have constantly grown and evolved through passion, a
lot of work and of course a dose of madness, taking on plays more complex
written by renowned dramatists like Frank Wedekind ( “Spring Awakening” ),
Eugen Ionescu (“Rinocerii” – “Rhinos”), J.P. Sartre ( “ The Respectful
Prostitute” ), Vasile Alecsandri (“Sanziana and Pepelea”), Matei Visiniec (“But
what do we do with the cello?” ), Slawomir Mrozek (“Out at sea”) and others.
The Knockers. We have a
history, not just a description. Started out of joy, passion and the wish to
play, our group is over 10 years old and has taken part in most editions of
IDFest and T4T. We also performed in “Mundi Ludens”, “Catharsis”, “AmFiTeatru”
and “Grigore Vasiliu Birlic” festivals, and learned gradually that the most
precious reward is being part of such events. Our highlights include “Under
Blankets”, “The Puppeteer”, “George”, “Awfully Happy”, “Before Laces”, “My
Sweet”, “Not Over Until the Fat Lady Sings”, “Intr-o zi de primavara” and “A
Complete Guide to Understanding Things”. Four years ago we decided to create
some magic and started organizing MagicFest. We are different, not always a
team, but love theatre.
Brainstorming was founded
in 2004 by a group of high-school students and it was
coordinated for a while by Prof.Ilinca Buciu. Since the 8 years of
activity, the style of the group was considerabily variated, the scripts being
contemporary realism or totally absurd in some situations or even scripts
written by the members of the group. The actual generation started in 2009 and
the group participated at national and international festivals, like IDEO IDES,
IDfest, Bunte Buhne(Stuttgart). Our wish is to create something apart together
and have an unforgettable experience in high-school.
A.C.T. was founded in
2001,consisting only of teenagers willing to do a lot for the show. We love
performing, and that`s why the old generations established the Ingenious Drama
Festival and despite the fact that each year the team is different, the
spirit remains the same. One of the most important things for us is friendship,
as our motto says: “United we stand divided we fall”. We are selfish but when
it comes to the members of the group the selfishness disappears. Our trainers
and our shows motivate us to evolve. As we gain experience, we establish higher
and higher standards. Something that we surely have is team spirit, the
enthusiasm and joy of being on stage!
Greetings to T4T! We are
The Limelight group. Our group was founded in April 2011. The first festival we
attended was Id Fest 12, and “The Blue Hour” was the first Limelight
“official”project. Our second and, so far, our best project so far was “Almost,
Maine” by John Cariani. Then we performed it at “Godot Café-Teatru”in
Bucharest, thanks to the theatre director George Remes, and the actor Vlad
Logigan who saw us at Ideo and helped us perform on that beautiful stage.
Our last performance of “Almost, Maine” was at The National Teen
Festival “Florian Pitis”. These are the main events in our group so far, but
we’re looking forward to new adventures!
