About Hoopla About Steve About Edgar About Impro Links and Further Information |
About Hoopla Hoopla was founded in January 2006 by Steve Roe and Edgar Fernando, two old school friends who have known each other since they were 4 (how cute). It started as an open drama group designed to fit around everyone's busy work schedules, without the commitment required for reading scripts or regular rehearsals. Very rapidly this became an impro specific group, and the Thursday night drop-in workshop format has proved so successful that it is still going today. In early 2007 Steve and Edgar took some of the dedicated Hoopla fanatics and formed a separate performance team, with rehearsals on Monday nights and Hoopla performances once a month. Hoopla shows aim to fill the gap between TV and theatre, with exciting and fresh shows that people come back to month after month (something we're so grateful for!). Hoopla now perform the first Thursday of the month in the Bedford in Balham, with other shows across London and loads more to come in 2008. In the summer of 2007 Hoopla was registered as a partnership between Steve and Edgar, allowing them to expand into professionally teaching impro to schools and corporate clients. They have coordinated and taught an impro day at Chestnut Grove School in Balham, and are planning to expand this work in 2008. |
