Who is SPACE?

SPACE - Stage & Performing Arts Club Episkopi - is the local theatre group for the British Forces in Episkopi, Cyprus. SPACE offers a wealth of activities such as plays, pantomimes, music workshops, quiz nights, trips to other theatres, and more. As the name suggests, SPACE presents much more than just putting on a play, and we welcome ideas to develop the ‘performing arts’ aspect of the club.

What are the aims of SPACE?

	To encourage members of British Forces Episkopi (BFE) to participate in all aspects of Live Entertainment
	To enhance BFE life for all ranks and their families by providing live entertainment
	To further the Stage and Performing Arts skills of members
	To provide a social facility for club members, their families and invited guests

How do we achieve these aims?

SPACE puts on several productions each year, including our very popular Pantomimes, a feature length production, Showcases by SPACE Youth Theatre and more. We also aim to perform a one-act play at the Rosebowl Drama Festival each year.

The club opens for a ‘social’ on Wednesday evenings from 7.30pm (except during productions and school holidays). Come along to meet the other members… and take advantage of our very cheap bar! There is often an event organized at least once a month, such as theme-nights, Quizzes, reading new plays, music workshops and more.

SPACE also has a very strong Youth Theatre, under the direction of Nand Cassily, for school years FS1 through to 11. The Youth Theatre has about 100 budding actors who take part in weekly workshops to learn about all aspects of the theatre, including drama, singing, voice, rhythm and movement, stage makeup and how the theatre works behind the scenes. They stage a Showcase of their work throughout the academic year.

Who are the SPACE Members?

Club members are serving personnel, UKBC's and their dependents working for the armed forces in British Forces Episkopi. We also have a strong affiliation of ex-pat members, and we have a waiting list of non-entitled persons wishing to join the club.

How do I become a member?

In addition to those willing to tread the boards, we are always on the look-out for people to help with set-building, set-painting, lights & sound, costume, make-up, front of house, direct new plays, and more. Any skills and time you can offer is really valued.

FULL MEMBERSHIP - is open to all Service personnel and their dependants, and to UK Based Civilians and their dependants based in British Forces Cyprus.

NON-ENTITLED MEMBERSHIP - At SPACE we value the skills and talents of our non-entitled members. Although there is a growing waiting list for non-entitled ex-pats to become full members of the club, we encourage those interested in joining to come along to social evenings on a Wednesday and participate with club activities as much as you can.

TEMPORARY MEMBERSHIP - is available to non-entitled personnel who do not have full membership status for the duration of a specific production, at a fee of €5) per production. Temporary membership can only be offered when a full member is not available for the purpose that the temporary member will fulfill and where, not to extend temporary membership would adversely affect the production.
