Sgoil Shamhraidh Dhràma a’ sìor-neartachadh

Tha 24 deugaire gan deisealachadh fhèin gus toiseach-tòiseachaidh a dhèanamh air làithean-saora an t-samhraidh le bhith a' dèanamh air Port Rìgh anns an Eilean Sgitheanach airson na Sgoil Samhraidh Dràma. Air a cur air dòigh le Fèisean nan Gàidheal tha an sgoil fosgailte do luchd-labhairt na Gàidhlig eadar 14 agus 18 bliadhna a dh’aois agus tha i ruith eadar Diluain 4 agus Dihaoine 15 den Iuchar.

A-nise na ceathramh bhliadhna, tha an sgoil air sìor fhàs nas motha le taic bho Iomairt na Gàidhealtachd agus nan Eilean agus Bòrd na Gàidhlig, agus tha comharran bronsachail ann gun cùm i a’ fàs san àm ri teachd leis an àireamh as àirde de thagraichean shoirbheachail a bh’ ann gu ruige seo.

Bidh na com-pàirtichean, a bhuineas do gach ceàrnaidh de dh’Alba, a' coimhead air adhart ri ceala-deug a bhios loma-làn spòrs anns am faighear bun-stèidh air leth ann an caochladh sgilean a bhios feumail do chleasaichean, luchd-sgrìobhaidh agus luchd-stiùiriche ùra airson an àrd-ùrlair agus air beulaibh a’ chamara.

Fo smachd Artair Donald mar stiùiriche-ealain na Sgoile, bidh e fhèin agus an sgioba ealanta de luchd-oide aige - Frank MacConnaill, Wilma NicUalraig, Daibhidh Walker, Ruairidh MacNeacail agus Catrìona Lexy Chaimbeul uile ag obair gu cruaidh gus tàlant nan com-pàirtichean a leasachadh le sùil gun tèid dealbh-cluich ùr a thaisbeanadh air oidhche mu dheireadh na Sgoile.

Gheibhear cothrom an tàlant aca a chur gu feum air fiolm cuideachd le taic bhon sgioba aig FilmG far an tèid sgilean deatamach agus uidheamachd a thabhann gus fiolm ghoirid a riochdachadh a fhreagras air a’ cho-fharpais aig FilmG airson 2011. Bidh dòchas ann gun soiribhich leotha sa cho-fharpais mar a rinn compàirtichean na Sgoile Samhraidh Dràma ann an 2010.

Thèid toradh an cuid obrach tron cheala-deug a thaisbeanadh don mhòr-shluagh air an oidhche mu dheireadh den Sgoil Shamhraidh aig Stiùidio Fàs, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig ann an Slèite air Diardaoin 14 Iuchar aig 7.30f.

Title: Trusadh – Gunnaichean ann an Alba / Guns in Scotland

The gun has played a major role in rural Scottish life for generations. To this day, the history and cultural heritage of hunting and shooting for sport generates a vital income, especially during the busy Autumn / Winter season. Non traditional seasonal activities such as clay pigeon shooting are also on the increase.

We meet those who shoot for sport, find out about how the police implement and control the issuing of firearm certificates at a local level, and discover that the art of gun making is still very much a lucrative part of rural Scottish life today as we meet some of these craftsmen at work.

Debate continues to surround gun legislation in Scotland though, following the horrors of Dunblane and more recent atrocities, including Cumbria last year . These incidents have added to the stigma of all gun holders in society, irrespective of their reason, or right to have a gun.

Transmitted: Monday 11 July
Time: 9.00 – 10.00pm

In this programme, street-dancing crew Heavy Smokers welcome presenters Anne Morrison and Kevin Walker to Livingston.

All groups along with their teachers and choreographers face the challenge of putting a special dance piece together for a show which will see all six groups showcasing their talents on the same stage for one night only. Renowned Scottish contemporary choreographer Mr Andy Howitt will have the demanding task of incorporating all six groups for the end of series performance special at the Tramway Theatre in Glasgow.
