..to be continued..

In this last period I don’t really know why but I didn’t update my journal. A lot of important things happened in this last period but maybe for me they weren’t so important. First of all, this was a very period because the theatre high level classes had their Independent Project. The IP consist in second year students taking theatre high level who direct a play written by another play writer or written by themselves. Some students can also choose to help the director with the light or staff like that, in order to be producer.

A lot of people, especially my theatre classmates were involved to take part in the IP. I tried to take part in the IP during the cast selection but any director chosen me. At the beginning I was a little bit sad for this but then I realized something new about me. I can’t say that I’m a bad actress but at the same time I’m not so good. I love acting but when I act I can’t really be the character, I’m pretty embarrassed. I prefer directing, organizing, producing. This is the reason why I accepted to help Ashley and Chezev in their IP with the backstage and some other staff.

I’m realizing that in this period, thanks to both theatre and drama, I’m learning a lot of things. How to act better, how to produce a play and I’m learning more things about myself.

After the IP, we usually discuss about it, how to make it better and what it communicate to us. I didn’t go to see all the IP but I really enjoyed the ones I saw. Nima, Enat and Ashley and Chezev ones. Of course I prefer some of them than other.  Nima IP was interesting for the selection of the set, a bus stop, but Enat one was completely different. I enjoyed it because it was the most truthful IP, even though it didn’t transmit me so emotion.   Ashley and Chezev IP, “Let The Circle Be Unbroken” involved me mostly but I noticed that during all the practices before the spectacle, I didn’t got the IP and I didn’t really like it. The spectacle was so good and understandable that I got it and I love it. A real surprise for me.

Theater is now one of my favorite subjects also because what I learn during the classes can be then very useful in the Drama activity.

A lot of people still have to perform their IP but I’m not sure I’m going to see all of them, even though it’s true that you learn a lot of staff just looking at the other people projects.

I’m already thinking about my IP. I’m going to write it by myself and then maybe Elizabeth could help to direct it or arrange it. I’m excited because I have a very great but difficult idea in mind and I hope to realize it. This is the title of my IP: “Just Life”.
