Meet the VAMDRAMB Members
In this section, you will get to meet all the Members of VAMDRAMB, what parts they have played or are playing and the roles within VAMDRAMB that they help with. Kind of like a VAMDRAMB version of wikipedia or IMBD.
Ian W - Founder, Performer, Director, Scriptwriter, Producer and Sweeper Upper.
Ian is a founding member of VAMDRAMB. He has performed and helped out with numerous productions with the PPPP, in various roles from ensemble, to performing various roles, including a Panto Dame and doing double duty and playing 2 main characters in one play. Despite never directing anything before, Ian has created an Original script for a Panto and has a vision to bring this and many other scripts to life. Describing himself as a jack of all trades, but master of none, and a bit of a prankster, rehearsals and performances themself are guaranteed to organised chaos but a lot of fun. Which is the basis for the name and tagline of the group. Very Amatuer, always entertaining.
Teagan W - Head of Tech, Social Media/Marketing Manager, Script Editor and Producer.
Teagan joins us as a founding member, bringing her experience as a tech specialist with the PPPP, along with her studies from her college courses, making her Head of Tech, as well as social media and marketing manager. Providing tech expertise on many PPPP performances, as well as other projects, including tech for performances at North Wall theatre in Oxford, as well as various productions for school and college. Always happy to share her wealth of tech knowledge and problem solving with others, she is a true asset to the group. A willingness to point out changes in lighting and sound that will improve the performances and despite her quiet demeanour, she makes her point known. She has also helped edit the scripts with Ian, checking that everything scans correctly, pointing out the numerous spelling or grammatical errors as well (harshly) shaking her head at some of the jokes within the script.
Ava W - Head of Choreography, Stage Manager, Performer
Ava, joins as a founder member and also brings a wealth of experience from PPPP. Despite being the youngest member of PPPP she worked her way up from her first role as ensemble to having the confidence to have the main role in several performances. Along with the building up her stage confidence, Ava has always been an asset in stage management, often helping cast with reminders of when they should be on stage and where to come onstage from, as well as remembering which props are used when for others as well as herself. Her on stage, stage management is also impeccable, remembering how scenes were set, as well as being conscious enough on stage to manoeuvre fellow performers to the correct positions seamlessly. With stage experience at The Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury and His Majesty's Theatre, London, which involved numerous dance routines for each performance, along with her previous dance training and overall love of dance, she has become head of choreography. Her first assignment is to prepare and teach all the dances for the upcoming Panto. An accomplished performer as well, Ava is more than happy to share he skills and tasks with other people and pass on valuable experience she already has at a young age.
