performance project

Hi guys!
Hope you are all doing well!

So, in name of the performance group, We want to share with you what we discuss about this new project.

We want to start very soon to create a performance for which we still don't have a theme. Our idea is to get to know who wants to participate and find a date to have a big meeting - brainstorm - workshop. This means in this date we will be together for some hours sharing theatre exercises to get to now each other and to find the lines of our performance. The proccess will be probably that we arrive, we do maybe some ice-breaker games just to warm-up; after we brain-storm about a theme and we decide this; and then we start improvisating all together about this theme. At the end, hopefully we will have a lot of material to start working at.
For this first meeting everybody should participate the same way, everybody share ideas and exercises from his/her own country and experiences, and everybody improvise in a relaxed way. For the meetings after this one, we will have already different roles, some will act, some will find clothes, some will produce and find the places where to present our performance, etc.. So, we need to know what exacly each one of you would like to do, which kind of contribution.
The only thing we know already more concrete is that we would like to make a performance for adults as most of us are used to work with children and we would like to do something different and in this way more challenging.
Let us know your opinions, suggestions, wishes and disponibility for the first meeting!:) Keep in mind that it would be great to have the first meeting in this 30 days counting from today on. So, first meeting before christmas!!
Other thing, please speak with the volunteers you know from other organisations and put here in the blog the names and contacts of who wants to participate, as soon as possible!

Greatings,
Coordenators of performance group - Salomé, Helena and Inês

    am just thinking that there are the two workshops in 23rd (community workshop - which i highly suggest to Denise, Inês, Salome, Nano, and everybody who work in small communities) and on 24th when bigger nr of noOR volunteers and volunteers from other NGO's will come together.
    that could be a good chance to meet.
    anyways, sounds already very good planning, am looking forward for what comes next:)
