Startreking across the Blogsphere, Hand in Hand.

I know that this was a short week, we had Friday off, but it feels like Sunday was just yesterday. While then so much for easily finishing the Designer Project before the Vacation, we only had one real class of Drama, it is a lot of fun though. I wish we were working with other people, it is a lot of fun to discuss what we just read... HEY! Richard! You didn't give me back the Book!

Anyways, Tuesday was our only real Drama day. It mostly involved us working in quiet on our computers or with our noses in the books, but included a fair amount of discussion. This most revolved around what really constitutes Theory rather than principle. Appia really is weird though, He basically wants everything to count towards the final theme; shadow and light, High and Low, Action and Stillness. His policy is that everything must work towards the final principle, however, his theory is better applied to an already created piece. This is because most people think in the other order: What can I do to causes X. However, he thinks: How will X be affected by this? Its weird as it isn't very concrete ideology, more of a concept.

On Wednesday, we were highly cultured and saw talented actors in the world renown piece: Space Pirates and Planet Booty. Okay, seriously though, it was a performance by Primary that was a space rendition of Treasure Island. It was actually pretty good, the only issues were that they needed to be louder and a lot of lines were forgotten, but hey, they're little kids. I think the main reason why the performance was good was part of Stan's Truth; They weren't acting energetically, they just were! At one point, Richard brought to my attention one of the "monkeys"(mice), she was VERY into the dancing, which somehow made it more interesting, (and funny). It was fun to watch and we even got to do some HANDy work in the classroom before, so we could see the set up. I've got to HAND it to them, they did a really good job with set, characters, and music, despite lack of talent. I mean are they really going to have trained actors in Primary, not really. And just for Richard I'll include one of the songs they used: StarTreking Across the Universe. Don't know where they found it but good choice. (They also had the Starwars space battle theme during the fight scene.)

(By the way the Hand jokes are due the fact that we were given the job of Hanging up tracings of Hands in a spiral.)
