****** THE RANDOM PLATYPUS *****

Today, (monday 9th) we talked about our Drama Trip to Paucartambo! :O!!!!!! can't wait!!! Also we shared our favourite: objects, smell, pictures, chlothes and songs to the class. It was pretty cool...however we found out that we all chose an object because the thing or a something it reminded us, for example, Sebastian an his song "somewhere o
ver the rainbow" reminded him of his dad, sandra and her stuff dog reminded her of her grandfather! At the end ..roberto started talking about the Signs. What are signs? they are something (sign) that represents something else (object) for someone (subject). Every thing can be a sign and it depends on a social convention. The language for example, is a sign. And ... as usual, this related to theatre because: in the stage, if you want people (audience) to understand the message you want them to get, we need a sort of signs, and in an actor case its ACTIONS that are the signs. We need to understand the value of sings, that they sometimes are further than material, however in the ART department they have to be concrete to be understood, (this is where my post title make sense) if we want to let people understand a "SUN RISING" we can't just simply raise our arms and pretend that they got it. The things need to appeal to senses!!! senses are very important ...people!!!! Tomorrow I have to perform! and present myself!!!!!!!!! I'm planning what to do! I hope I don't mess up !!! wish me good luck! and good bye! will the signs help me in the future?!
