Scene 1

Tuesday, 25.

Finnaly we started shooting the play, we started with the first scene and sofia, kiko and Sarah acted. I think we have to shoot some more times but we will have a really good scene. I´m finishing writing the second scene with nico, and I think that will be a really good scene too.

Making the scenes

The group decided that it would hold only four scenes of the play,  but hold four pieces of the play would not be enough to tell the main story of the play, so we decided to create our own scenes, using the most important parts of the piece to make them.
In the last lesson we divided the group in pairs, and each pair made a scene, me and Nico stayed with the second scene and we are almost finished. We didn't shoot in that class, but I hope that we will be able to do it in the next lesson.

New year, new School

This is my first year at the OIS, but also the first time that I'm in a International School. The first Arts classes were about understand what we were going to do during the all year, and the year 11 will start by drama.

Mrs first divided the class into two, one half of the class to perform (where I am included), during the first term, "Frei Luis de Sousa", a play written by Almeida Garret. The other half of the class will perform during the first term a play written by Brecht.
