WELL-known Northern Ireland actor Dan Gordon visited Bangor Academy this week to answer questions from drama students.Gordon spoke to GCSE and A-level drama students about writing, acting, directing and building a successful career in the creative industries. GCSE, AS and A2 drama students got lots of great information for their courses and were fascinated by his advice on how to build character and write about performance for their written assessment. ‘Bah humbug!’ says Scrooge, aka local acting legend, Dan Gordon about the need to build a better drama training and theatre career infrastructure in Northern Ireland. Having spotted the Bangor Academy pupils studiously taking production notes at the Lyric’s production of ‘A Christmas Carol’ he generously offered his time to offer his thoughts on how to pursue a drama career after school.
