The Drama Collective (DC)

The Drama Collective (DC) is a society that was formed to be a larger negotiating body for its constituent societies. For example:

  • WAC allocates 2 show slots to the DC each term. Without the DC, none of the constituent societies would have the resources to put on 2 shows a term themselves. The DC production manager runs a panel for each of these slots. Show teams can submit packs to DC panel, once they get backing from one of the DC societies.
  • The DC also provide "cupboard manager" exec roles to organise and upkeep its two storage locations, the DC cupboard in WAC, and the Avon cupboard.
  • The DC has a constitution that all its societies are meant to follow.
  • The DC often put on a joint ball at the end of the year, in term 3.
