Heute haben wir eine East End Streetart
Tour mit Jonnie von "A Bowl of Chalk" gemacht und hatten dabei das
große Glück auf eine Ikone zu treffen. Thierry Noir arbeitete gerade mit Kids
an einem Charity Projekt. Er hat in den 80er Jahren 5km der Berliner Mauer
künstlerisch gestaltet und erzählte uns, dass er sogar ein Stück auf der
anderen Seite angemalt hatte und dabei von Grenzsoldaten fast erwischt worden
wäre. Was ein Erlebnis ihn zu treffen. Er wird hier der Vater der Szene
genannt.

Day 9, Tuesday, 20.08.2019
 |
| Morgens: Führung im Globe |
Am Abend warten wir auf den Beginn der 1. Aufführung
"A Comedy of Errors". Wir stehen im "Pit" und sind
"Groundlings" da wir die billigsten Plätzen (5£) genommen haben.
Später während der Aufführung ist sitzen strengstens verboten. 2 std stehen
kann schon auch anstrengend sein, vor allem wenn man viel am Tag gelaufen ist,
aber wir sind ja schließlich auf Herausforderung!

impressions of our last days
Day 3, Wednesday, 14.08.2019
Our first step
included finishing the re-writing and scan it for mistakes and correct some bad
language by reading it together.
After we´d done
some warming-up games (walking around and someone says a number from one to ten:
one means very shy and unmotivated and ten totally confident and motivated.
Depending on the number, you have to walk like this),
we introduced our characters to each other with some questions on a paper and
tried to get into our role.
We discussed our
costumes (Humans- white, black, grey and fairies- colorful) and then dealt with
our props.
We decided to
create some symbols out of cardboard: hearts, wedding rings, lightning, angry
father “Egeus”, workmen and a child.
At the end of the
day we talked through our play and made corrections whenever it didn’t work
out.
We’re going to
spend the next two days at the Haus am Westbahnhof, practicing our play until
we fly to London on Sunday. Within a week we’ll visit two plays at the Globe
Theatre, go on city tours, explore the Museum of London and many
other interesting places of London and Shakespeare’s life.
Day 2, Tuesday, 13.08.2019
After we were done
with the background information yesterday, we started to work on our version of
the play.
We talked about
how we want to modify this play to make it our own.
At the end we had
two options: replacing the characters with celebrities or politicians. we
agreed on rewriting the play into a 21st century version with the
same characters and with a statement to project some current political topics
on our play too either before or afterwards.
Besides that we decided
who is going to play which character.
And with that, we
talked about our limit of the play and started to re-write scene 2.1 to 4.1.
Day 1, Monday, 12.08.2019
On our first day
we talked about what we are most excited of in year 12 and the challenge.
Everyone wrote a
list with goals they want to reach and what our expectations are, personally
and for the whole group.
Afterwards we got
to know something about our play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (which we chose
before the challenge began) and the author himself, William Shakespeare.
We watched some
scenes from a movie and also read other scenes to go into the play.
At the end we
discussed how we can present some scenes from the chosen play.
