Don't be sad it's over. Be happy it happened!

This is a long overdue blog post. One last one to wrap up the entire IB Theatre 2 year course

Though Theatre has been finished since the 24th March 2013 I haven't had chance to leave one last post on her as we have kinda neglected this place this year (sorry blog!)

But yeah, theatre is over its has definitely been a roller-coaster of a ride from the fantastic four in year 12 to us troublesome trio in year 13. We have laughed and cried (yes the TPPP was very emotional) yet for me it has been a great class to be part of! From the restricted constraints of the Stanislavski system to the unrestrained chaos of Bloody mIST we have a few good stories to tell.

Though I am sure we are all happy some parts of theatre are done with such as the RI....IP...TPPP....PPP (yes those mean things to theatre students)  there are parts that I miss especially our little 'outing' to London. The best place for theatre in the world and where Maria will naturally one day be acting in all of the theatres! Chips were shared....well taken by Spencer and yes we lost his during rush hour on the central line but we found him (eventually). Who can also forget Maria's dedicated interest in 'The Veil' so emotionally draining for her it knocked her out! Georgia's self sacrificing nature meant that Spencer could eat all the chips (fries) the he wanted though they weren't his. Oh Spencer!

There are too many happy memories to write about but I want you to know I've loved them all. The music videos, Bloody mIST, Artaud, London. All of it! I'll also miss all you guys too, we are an ensemble so how can I not miss you!

Georgia, the dancer of the group. Her 'jamming' really lived up the group and got us all going, even if Spencer and I were not really the best body poppers in the world. Das ich meine marmalade Georgia! MARMALADE!!!!

Maria, the theatre ensembles own little ball of never ending energy. Though the IA's may have got to her she pulled through with.....well a smile on her face in the end. I know she is destined for the stars of the theatre world and that she'll be fabulous!

Spencer, though a year has passed since his departure from the Theatre ensemble he is not forgotten. Often reference in anecdotes such as 'OM NOM NOM NOM' or 'Where is this person? Oh, they just wandered off!'. Also his amazing dance moves have no been forgotten and their legacy still live on in our music videos which we now call 'Doing a Spencer!'

Then there is the great Mr Fearnehough. Though we may have had to go though many hours of talk, there has never been a dull moment (except that one about the RI, IPP, TPPP, PPP). But apart from that yeah! He has kept us going in times of little motivation, he trusts (abit to much) when he leaves the class just for even 15 minutes. MUSIC VIDEO TIME!!!!! He has been a great teacher and has really got us through this course keeping a smile on his and our faces. Even for those of us doing the dreaded Extended Essay. Thanks Mr F! Keep up the great work.

So that is it. Two years done, hopefully by continuing to do theatre at university I'll be able to have as much fun as I did with these people in my IST ensemble. Now I'll leave you with a few photos and videos!
