About Audra and Dramastance:
AUDRA MITCHESON - Director
Audra is a local girl, born and bred in Brixham, educated at Furzeham primary school, Dartmouth Community college and South Devon College of Arts and Technology - then onto Guildford
school of acting. Also, trained as a dancer at Pamela De WaalSchool of dance and was a member of B.O.A.D.S. a local operatic society.
Having debuted on the West End stage at 11years old in BugsyMalone Audra’s career continued within the musical theatre world. She has appeared in many BBC and ITV productions and performed as a soloist at many prestigious venues like The Royal Albert Hall, O2 Indigo and many many more. Born in Brixham and educated at Dartmouth Community College, she has always flitted from her home town to London incorporating some UK tours on her way.
As a teacher she has taught Musical Theatre Performance Workshops for students from all over Europe, Drama therapy workshops for SealeHayne, Street Dance workshops in local and Devon schools and most recently held Drama and Dance workshops for UK, European and International Latin and Ballroom championship dancers in between teaching drama for over 15 years! Audra has also worked with many
outstanding actors, choreographers and directors such as – Roger Redfarn, Sam Mendes, Gillian Gregory, Richard Armitage, Meg Johnson, Brian Glover, Martin Clunes, Kin Criswell and
Mickey Dolenz to name but a few.
Following on from the very successful 'Bling' the Pantomime at The Barn Theatre - Dartington
Hall Estate, Audra found that the youngsters that she taught really needed their very own company where they could grow as performers.....so.....ON 28TH FEBRURY Audra launched DS YOUTH THEATRE COMPANY.
"I am so excited to start up a youth theatre company -taken from local talent and create something wonderful! Let's create our own theatre, costumes, scenery and devise our own scripts as well as performing old and new theatre performances. Choreographers will be joining periodically as will singing teachers/technicians. Also those who are already professional performers/directors in the 'West End'"
Audra has also worked on a script devised by Brian Pattern and herself for the youth company 'The DitsumStars' in Dittisham.
“What an amazing start to DSYTC! The creativity was brilliant! Already over half the members needed and they were fantastic! This week we dealt with characterisation: where to start from, what names to give the characters, description, characters actions and thoughts. Using basic props and really relying on the actor’s imagination. It’s amazing what imaginations we have – we just need to relax and go with it. Nothing is ever wrong as we learn from every step we take as performers.”
“I was thrilled to start the YouthTheatre Company and can’t wait for it to grow, expand and develop. We will be a dynamic combination of original storytelling and modern current productions. I will be taking the first 20 members, 20 is a lovely managed number for Directors entailing the company to have more detailed attention - then I will continue on another night so that the next 20 members also have that enriching Direction.”
Kathy Rablah, Assistant Principal at King Edward VI Community College says, “We are delighted to welcome Audra and her company, Drama Stance Productions, to the Devon Academy of Performing Arts. The venue, here at Dartington, is perfect for a vibrant young Drama Group to excel and to produce some fantastic work in our purpose built studios.”
“We look forward to sharing our space each week with Audra and the young people of DS Youth Theatre Company, who will also be welcome to share and experience the many and varied performances given
throughout the year by the Devon Academy of Performing Arts students. Audra’s wealth of professional experience both locally and nationally will be invaluable to the students who join DS Youth Theatre; the benefits of being a member of extra-curricular clubs cannot be under estimated and the practical and social skills gained will stand the all the members in good stead in their future lives.”
Audra has been writing and Directing for over 15 years and has recently joined started a 'Sister' DSYTC at Buckingham Dance Studios.
This year Audra will be directing a Pantomime at the prestigious Dartington Hall. Last year was a sell out!
