Cinn-latha Sgoile Samhraidh Dr�ma 2010 gam foillseachadh
Eadar 5 agus 16 Iuchar 2010 bidh G�idheil �ga a' faighinn cothrom sgilean th�atar aig �re phroifeasanta ionnsachadh an cuideachd feadhainn de na cleasaichean as fhe�rr ann an saoghal na G�idhlig.

Tha an Sgoil Shamhraidh Dhr�ma, a tha ga ruith le F�isean na G�idheal, gu bhith a' gabhail �ite ann am Port R�gh a-rithist am-bliadhna. Bidh 16 �iteannan air a' ch�rsa, a tha fosgailte do dhuine sam bith aig a bheil G�idhlig eadar 14 agus 18 bliadhna a dh'aois. Bidh na com-p�irtichean a' fuireach ann an �stail �rd-sgoil Phort R�gh, le clasaichean gan cumail ann am Bun-sgoil Phort R�gh.

Bidh an Sgoil fo sti�ir Artair Donald, cleasaiche a tha air cli� a choisinn an d� chuid air an �rd-�rlar agus air an telebhisean. Bidh e ag obair le sgioba de luchd-teagaisg air leth t�lantach, leithid Catr�ona Lexy Chaimbeul, Daibhidh Walker agus Ruairidh MacNeacail. Am measg nan clasaichean a th�id a chumail r� na Sgoile bidh sgilean gutha, gluasad, sgr�obhadh cruthachail, modh-st�idse agus cleasachd.

Tha Dougie Beck, co-�rdanaiche na Sgoile, an d�chas gum brosnaichear sgilean dr�ma �igridh agus gun togar an cuid misneachd a dhol an s�s ann am barrachd th�atar anns an fhad-�ine: "Chaidh an Sgoil Shamhraidh ath-bheothachadh ann an 2008 agus tha i air a bhith air leth soirbheachail. Tha c�rr is 30 cleasaiche �g air a dhol tron Sgoil bhon uair sin agus tha fhios gum bi Sgoil na bliadhna sa a cheart cho trang. 'S e �m d�chasach a tha seo a thaobh dr�ma na G�idhlig - tha t�rr dr�ma a' dol air adhart anns na sgoiltean an-dr�sta, agus tha dr�ma sa choimhearsnachd a' faighinn gu dol a-rithist. 'S e cothrom air leth a tha san Sgoil Shamhraidh do dhuine sam bith a tha airson gleans a chur air na sgilean dr�ma aca."

Chan eil aig na com-p�irtichean ri c�il a ph�igheadh mu choinneamh cosgaisean na Sgoile, le maoineachadh a' tighinn bho Iomairt na G�idhealtachd is nan Eilean agus B�rd na G�idhlig air a son.

'S ann a dh'ionnsaigh oidhche mh�r de dhr�ma aig 7.30f, Diardaoin 15 Iuchar ann an �ros, Port R�gh, a bhios na cleasaichean ag obair, agus bidh seo fosgailte dhan mh�r-shluagh. Gheibhear tuilleadh fiosrachaidh mun tachartas seo aig www.feisean.org no air 01463 225559.

Dates of Gaelic Drama Summer School 2010 published
Between 5 and 16 July 2010 young Gaelic-speakers will get the opportunity to learn professional-level theatre skill in the company of some of the best actors in the Gaelic world.

The Sgoil Shamhraidh Dhr�ma, which is run by F�isean nan G�idheal, will be held in Portree again this year. There will be 16 places on the course, which is open to any Gaelic-speaker aged between 14 and 18. Participants will stay in Portree High School Hostel, with classes taking place in Portree Primary School.

The Sgoil will be under the artistic direction of Artair Donald, who has gained fame as an actor both on stage and screen. He will be working with a talented group of tutors including Catr�ona Lexy Campbell, Daibhidh Walker and Roddy Nicolson. Classes will include, voice, movement, creative classes, stage management and general acting skills.

Dougie Beck, the coordinator of the Sgoil, hopes that it will encourage both drama skills and a desire to progress with acting to higher levels: "The Sgoil was re-established in 2008 and since then over 30 young actors have attended. We are sure that this year's Sgoil will be just as busy. This is an exciting time for Gaelic drama - there is a lot going on in schools and community drama is starting to get back on its feet again. The Sgoil Shamhraidh is an excellent opportunity for anyone who wants to hone their acting skills."

Participants are not required to contribute anything towards costs. Generous financial support has been received from Highlands and Island Enterprise and B�rd na G�idhlig.

Everyone will be working towards a night of drama at 7.30pm, Thursday 15 July in �ros, Portree, and this will be open to the public. More information can be found at www.feisean.org or on 01463 225559.
