Today is our last whole day in Niedamirow the day of the big, awesome presentation. In the morning, we’ve started with the warm-up, like every day. We’ve prepared the presentation and did things like cut the Stop-Motion-Films, cut the sound, thought about the bodypainting, built a calendar with pics and with self-made slogans. At eight o’clock the mega awesome presentation of our group started. We showed the results of the work of the whole week and presented them together with some live performances. It was really fun and we’ve finished with a big, human machine! It was an awesome presentation, and everyone was great.

Musikwerkstatt

Today we didn`t have a music warming up and we prepared generally for live radio show. We played all our songs and our scenes. From five o’clock we started our sound check in theatre hall. At eight o`clock we will have our show. This day was very difficult and sometimes  was mess in organization, but it was funny as all the time. Everyone is a bit nervous, but everyone is doing his or her best.

Pred zahajenim vystoupeni panovala v zakulisi napjata nalada… Jak se nam to povede, neudelam zbytecnou chybu, nezkazi nam vystoupeni technika… Hned po znelce radia prisly na radu pribehy, u kterych byli vsichni radi, ze stali za zatazenym zavesem. Pote prisel koncert skladajici se z 5 pisnicek. Pri zaverecne pisnice Use baby se k nam pridalo i publikum. Myslim si, ze se vystoupeni povedle a vsichni z nej meli velkou radost.

Nach einer aufregenden Woche stand natürlich noch das große Abschlussprogramm auf dem Plan. Trotz viel Improvisation war es ein überaus gelungenes Programm. Das Publikum war begeistert und wir zufrieden mit unserer Show. Danach hies es nur noch Party,Party,Party….

Bis in die frühen Morgenstunden…..ein geiler Abend ( Morgen ).

Trip to the village

At first we have a meeting and we play some language games. Then we watch our lovestories we created on Wednesday. The first exercise is to prepare some questions for interviewing. When we are done we have lunch and a one-hour break. In the afternoon we go to the village to do our interviews. After dinner there is a meeting because of our tommorows party.

Mango, AnanasBanana, Kiwi

Our day started like every other day, with a funny game together with the journalism group. After that we started with a new part of ActionArt -Sound-. At first we made a choir, consisting of three groups. So every group sang an other word:

Mango, AnanasBanana and Kiwi.

Later we were parted in groups. Our assignment was to make an own choir. Then we formed two-person-groups and we made different rhythms with bi-national teams and words. Before lunch the whole ActionArt-group created a dschungelfeeling and some other themes with things you use every day. In the afternoon we had to say goodbye to Daria, a girl of our group. Then we had to plan our presentation for Friday evening. This wasn’t very funny but really necessary. Later in the evening some of us went out with Lala to take fantastic fire pictures. All in all the day was quite good.

Wednesday by journalists

We started all together the day with a “Prisonbreak” game (journalists and artists).

Then we made a short comic. After that Olaf (the leader of our workshop) tought us how to create a photostory. When we prepared storyboards in groups, we started to make the photos for the photostory. Then we had to work with the photos on the computer, there we were making a presentation of the story.

In the evening we had a “Goodbye Winter” ritual at a fireplace. At the end of the day Petra (one of the translators) tasted a waterpipe (it was her firs time). “It doesn´t taste good… Oh, it does! J”

Half time – Still 3 days to go

Our day started in “jail”., whether as a ward or as a prisoner or as somebody, who tried to help the prisoners to get out of there. Today’s assignment was Body Painting and Stop Motion. We discussed our theme and our assignment in our groups and developed our motive for the body painting. The lunchtime came and we chilled out to get ready for the hard work. Three hours later three German faces looked different and very colourful as before. But that’s not everything. Our assignment also said to take pictures while working to create a stop motion film. Lots of work, but our pictures became a live.

We think: All in all it was a great day.

Tanz - und Theaterwerkstatt

Hey everybody,

today we worked again on our dance-theatre project. Pavlina, our dance teacher, was today healthy and so we danced more then yesterday and made a new choreography. And of course we made new scenes. But unfortunately we had to change some parts because some peoples are ill. All in all we had a great day with funny games but of course it was hard, too.

See you

Filmwerkstatt

This day didn’t start well, because the other one of our friends left us. Many of our friends couldn’t work because of sickness. Altought our team was weaken, we start to film and we finished another two films. We really enjoyed work with film and creating sound effects.  We think all films are amazing and we looking forward to tomorrow’s presentation.
