The Theater project or 10 days of positive craziness

How can I even begin to describe something so full with all sorts of emotions and experiences that can happen during just 10 days. It took me a while to just calm down and with relaxed mind just go through it again, through all that we experienced, shared and had.

It all started on Friday evening. The introduction, when we first met each other, made our first impressions. The Friday, when we all stepped in to the unknown, cause no one really knew what the exact outcome of all this will look like, except that we believed it will be a good one.

The next few days we went through a lot of workshops, dancing, acting even stage fighting, singing, improvisation, we had our share of fun and seriousness. From all the workshops there were something wonderful created – a new song, a small play, finding out something new about the other person or yourself and feeling connected through the dance and letting our self to go through all that with all our senses.

After the workshops were done we took the best we could from them, took our thoughts about identity, thoughts about what we thought we want to include in theater and sat by the big table with our all creative group and project creators(hat off to their fantastic job). And few hours later after long, productive discussions our truly great theater director introduced with main idea, the main story line to witch we all wrapped around all our creativity and creative outcomes.

The ending result was beyond my expectations.  We presented our outcome, our play three times. Every time felt different not just because the people who came to watch performance was different. I could see it was surprise for audience as well, we let them experience huge spectrum of emotions  of the story and also let them be included in it, we gave them a push to think about them self, about their identities and who they are..

The all 10 days I spent with these beautiful people, creating something outstanding is definitely a memories I will take with me for rest of my life. I don’t think it is even possible to forget something so amazing.  During all the workshops, rehearsals  and even in our free time periods there were room for so much- sharing, talking, singing, playing, dancing even silence and time for yourself, time to get to know others and room to be yourself.  

We learned so much, we experiences so much and we made new friends, we saw beauty in our self, others and surroundings.  

Embrace your identity

Life is Beautiful

Much Love
