A regular event in the Dynamo year is the Director's
Challenge. Senior members are assigned a group
of members and write and direct a short piece
of drama around a theme or ground-rules given
by the Artistic Director. In past years challenges
have featured the use of a song or mime only
or use of masks.
On a Monday evening, usually in March, all
pieces are performed in front of the members,
committee and parents, competing for the Liz
Goodbody Shield. Named in memory of Liz Goodbody
who was Dynamo's Secretary from 1990 to 1994,
the shield is awarded to the director judged
by a panel appointed by the Artistic Director
to have produced the most original, imaginative
work and have demonstrated the best skills as
a director. In parallel, the adult audience
votes for the most enjoyable piece - frequently
not the same as the winner of the Shield.
