Hello!
It's 2020! :O
Some of our members all dressed up :D |
We were back with another post - and this time,
we’re having a throwback to December when we had our annual Christmas
party. The theme for this year came about in a slightly unusual year. Almost in
reverse because we had members who wanted to come dressed as particular
characters from a very large and popular franchise that has been around for
almost as long as ATG! A team of our members redecorated our rehearsal hut
into a mini studio. There were four photography backdrops used to depict a
different genre or styles (under the sea, haunted house, pirate ship and an
additional one that we decided to call mysterious fairy garden!) and even Oscar
the Oscar came out to celebrate (he tends to only be used at our biannual
awards nights, so this was a bonus outing.)
Blockbuster posters with an ATG twist! |
The walls of kitchen and entrance of the hut was
plastered with about thirty film posters with an ATG twist. Some of the
characters on the posters had had their faces switched with some of our
members. From classic films to recent blockbusters, there were a couple that
had us laughing. [It was another moment where we said Mori- our social
secretary - has too much time on her hands despite having a full time job!] and
one of them was even taken home by the member themselves ;)
Like most Christmas parties, we had our traditional
game of pass the parcel and musical chairs. The final round of musical chairs
saw Darth Vader battling it out with Danny from Grease! Unfortunately the force
must have been weak that night and our Danny was crowned the winner. Whilst
traditions work well, there was an extra addition of charades to make
those photography backdrops worthwhile. There were films relating to each of
the four scenes to make it slightly more cohesive!
ATG can't resist a game of Pass the Parcel! |
What is great about our Christmas parties is how
everyone throws themselves into the theme in the dressing up part - and it
didn’t matter if you went all out with a spot of DIY, put an outfit together
with what you had or bought one online. It was great to see such a several of characters
that people had chosen to come dressed as- so much so that it would have been
impossible to pick a best dressed!
With another year over and another Christmas party
celebrated, ATG turns its attention to 2020 of which marks another awards night
year! Who knows what the theme will be? Definitely something to look forward to
:)

Challenge time - how many characters can you name?! |
