Northern Spain

OVERVIEW

Our most popular courses for Drama, Art and Photography take place in Northern Spain and in particular the stunning resort of Tossa de Mar situated on the Costa Brava coastline. We are able to provide courses exclusively in Drama, Art or Photography or indeed the increasingly popular format of a combined course which enables the group leader to recruit students from either of these subjects in school or college. We are also more than happy to incorporate music/dance into the Drama options.

This format of courses is also available in Greece, Italy, S. Africa, USA and the UK. The students will be provided with suitably experienced professional tutors and the content of the course will be decided after discussions with William Ilkley and the group leader. Again, it is our policy with all courses to tailor - make the itinerary content to match the needs and requirements of each individual group.

The Drama and Photography students in Spain will have the opportunity to visit Barcelona and possibly Figueras and Gerona. The Art students can visit the Catalonian National, Picasso and Miro museums in Barcelona and also explore the Gaudi architecture sites - the Sagrada Familia Cathedral, Parc Guell, the Batlo House and the Gaudi museum. In Figueras the students can visit the world renowned Dali Museum. All entry fees to the art galleries are included in the price paid by the Art students.

Music students can work separately to the Drama students or can be incorporated into the Drama workshops to accompany the performance presentation. Alternatively, indoor or outdoor concerts can be arranged for your musicians in Tossa, Barcelona, Lloret, Gerona and Figueras. Whichever course you opt for you can be sure of an extremely stimulating and rewarding visit for yourselves and your students.

Tossa de Mar is a beautiful, safe typically Spanish fishing village with a stunning bay, beach and old town quarter which dates back to the 12th Century. Our base will be the 3* Park/Novopark Hotel with all its modern facilities and ideal rehearsal areas. We will also have available the indoor theatre in nearby Lloret de Mar, although most of our groups do tend to prefer working on self-devised, outdoor, promenade style performance pieces for presentation in the old town of Tossa.

There will also be a full programme of evening activities - Karaoke, Cabaret, Flamenco and a wonderful last night party celebration. Your group will have the opportunity to explore Barcelona on a full excursion day and also have the option of a visit to Figueras and the stunning Salvador Dali Museum. All in all this will be a fabulous, challenging, stimulating and rewarding course.

TOSSA DE MAR

Tossa is situated on the coast of the Spanish Costa Brava approximately a 1 hour drive along the coast from Barcelona. We use the Park, Novopark, Continental and Don Juan (illustrated) hotels in Tossa. These hotels provide very good two/three star accommodation. Rooms for the students are 3 or 4 bedded and we provide twin rooms for the staff. All have private facilities. Most of our hotels have outdoor swimming pools and other sporting activities are available.

Tossa de Mar, in stark contrast to it's better known and altogether noisier neighbour, Lloret de Mar is a more typical small Spanish fishing port with a stunning bay and beach ideal for swimming; and is certainly less commercialised than Lloret. Exclusive to Dramart, we have an option to use the marvellous facilities of the Municipal Theatre in Lloret for some workshops and performances. Other workshops and some evening entertainments would take place in your hotel. We can offer a full day excursion to Barcelona on these courses and a half day trip to Figueras and the Salvador Dali Museum. Evening activities on this course can include a cabaret evening, karaoke evening, flamenco evening and disco/party evening.

SAMPLE - ITINERARY

The workshops are split into two sections:

Section 1 consists of introductory workshops allowing the tutors to get to know the students and explore initial ideas.

Section 2 where tutors develop the chosen performance ideas and take the students through the stages of creating, devising and rehearsing, leading to a final public performance presentation.
