Pe 5 noiembrie 2024 am proiectat filmele câștgătoare la concursul de scurt metraje și scenarii ediția 2023 la Institutul Cultural Român Londra. Daria Achim, câștigătoarea premiului Cel mai bun Scenariu pentru filmul Irina's Nightmare și Sebastian Marcu, câștigătorul premiului Cel mai bun Film pentru filmul Decizia au venit special din România pentru eveniment. Noi am fost extrem de bucuroase să fim alături de ei. Evenimentul a fost moderat de membra Dra.ma Ioana Goga.
Qfor the first time, Dra.ma is organizing the screening of the winning film in the 'Best Film' category from the 2022 short films and screenplays competition. So we cordially invite you to the screening of Medea, a film with a fantastic cast directed by Iustin Baby on December 9, 4pm, Flash Musical Centre, Edgware, London. Iustin, who was 16 years old when he made the film, is coming, as part of his award, to London and will participate in the Q&A after the movie.
Also, as a bonus, we'll also screen the winning film from 2021, which due to the pandemic, has not been screened until now. The event will be moderated by our colleague Beatrice Bowden and will be in English.

Andreea and Beatrice were invited to give a conference at Pace University in New York where they talked about acting for theater and film and dramatic writing. They discussed these aspects from the perspective of their careers as actresses but also as Dra.ma members and the need to experiment and take on skills that can help enormously even if they are not directly related to the chosen career. They talked to the students about life in the dramatic arts but also did creative exercises with them. The conference was a success and the proposed exercises and games were appreciated by the participants, students and teachers alike.
Dra.ma concludes the first part of the 2022 tour. With workshops in Romania and Great Britain, the meetings with the children and teenagers were extraordinary and we learned and shared a lot together. Welcome to the Dra.ma Family everyone! To the children, teenagers, parents and organizations that supported us and associated with us! Thank you!

The Dra.ma Association concluded partnership agreements with the Ștefan Procopiu High School in Vaslui, Stories in Romanian London and Joyful Learning Kindergarten in Oradea. We are very excited about these partnerships because they will extend the collaboration with these institutions, which will ensure the harmonious development of the children and adolescents who attend them.
The association is also in negotiations with other organizations both in the UK and in other cities to continue the series of partnerships.
