Telephone- Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce.

Saturday 13th March.

So today we went to watch four puppet shows and only one word can describe my feelings towards it. BORING. jeje.... out of the four only 1 could be .. decent, (in a paralel world were digimons rule over humans... but yeah...decent).

As the puppet show was aimed at children it was a very interesting "PLAY" to watch and see how the children reacted to it so we could learn stuff for our play. My observations:

1) The audience's seats were divided into two sections, at the back (chairs) for parents and in front puffs and a carpet for children. Before starting girls walked around the children talking with them making them comfortable and all as creating the bonb needed for a play to start.

2) Laughter is the main purpose of a childrens play I think. Well, children laugh about anything but mostly of the bad things that happened. SO, CALAMITY AND BAD LUCK (golpes, caidas, planes frustrados) = laughs= attention of audience. gotit.

3)As my seat was in between the children I could feel how the felt. First i notice that watching at the same thing opened conversation between them. (proving that theatre has a social purpose) as well as i noticed that if someone says something the next kid will do the same. so, if one laughed everybody else did.

4) Effects, i liked the visual effects like for example the smoke as well as when the fox jumped the actual puppeteer also jumped making the floor tremble (good).

5) You could clearly see the difference between a show for kids and one for adults (1st and second) the jokes, tone everything was different.

6)Interaction with audience. the children could scream shout laugh and the puppets will have to react with the childrens reaction! so improvisation was needed.

7) It was funny how the first show had barely no dialague but was the most attention catcher, while the third one had no voice but it was boring as hell.why was this? would it be different if the third play was first instead?

NOW, the show became borinng and boring each minute that passed, so i wonder was it because of attention spam? or ... was it because of the play. I'm sure if a kid could stay focus 30 mins per chapter on a tv series it could stay for a play....right? I wonder, how can we make a children prefer to watch our super heroes play instead of tv? will costume, scenery and props make it more appealing for children than actors intention? do they reaaly understand plays (because dthey don't understand eglish) or are they the prob look the play as pictures? AND A VERY IMPORTANT IDEA THAT WE MUST KEEP IN MIND: "CHILDREN MIGHT BE YOUNG, BUT THEY ARE NOT STUPID".

Fireflies - Owl City

Today we presented a very short scene during assembly period. It was a serious thing and it required a lot of concentration..... BUT the public laughed. Before the thing i was not nervous, during and after not at all (it was the first time in front of people and not nervous... funny huh?) but i was angry. What went wrong? they laugh. maybe because they were children that laugh. so that mean that we need to make the same thing in the School play in order to capture the attention of children? laughter is the key? well my sister got the idea that we were shadows of rosaura or something like that so I know that she was fully concentrated on watching us perform. ... i think overall the white costumes were good against vale so. good.

Is the intention of the play lost because of the audience laughing? how much do you keep to yourself when your suppose to make them reflect and they laugh (i mean ...you want to stop so you do less obvious the thing that you are doing so they don't laugh?) ...matame.

Hello Goodbye - The Beatles

Hello Hello AMIGOUS!

I’m kinda sad because this entry, as the title suggest is my “last First Hello” of the year, thus it is considered as a Hello Goodbye right? Anyway! Today (wed 3^rd march) was my first IB year two theatre class and it was something that I missed … a lot. The sad thing is (as you can notice to you right) Sandra, Claudia and Meli are no longer Fieles… they are always gonna be in our hearts as Sexylia Gonshalesh and I’m sure they’ll come to watch our play en June. (btw… e los oblige a venir, sino ya vayan ahorrando para la pizza de diciembre, asi de simple) However we have five more smart people that chose Ib theatre and they are form fivers, but for the sake of peace we are not going to call them our CHULIS…but the “NEXTel” people (since they are going to be the next people to suffer) and they are Carlos, Ari, Mauricio, Spetz and LD, they are also going to be doing production and acting in our play…. Ah! (I’m stanDARK level this year, I hope I’ll do good in the end)speaking about the devil, THE PLAY.

During the holidays (even this sounds the fakest thing ever) we got together and we decided more or less what the play is going to be about but we were not sure if Rupert would like it or not… and … dun dun dun… HE DID. ..(fiuf) .. and we are glad. Yeah, so, then we decided our production tasks! I AM NOT DOING SCENERY (at first I was shocked to, but know I’m happy since I wont be stressed about anything production later ((I mean… not as much as it would be if I was encharge of scenery, I know its team work and you have my support!)) and now… IM WRITING THE PLAY. FML? ….(if you don’t know what fml is you should enter to: www.fmylife.com , its my drug) but its fun and I like it. Now so far I’m thinking about the characters, just as a reminder this is the ideas we agreed today in class:

1) SUPERHEROES

a. Masters (IBers since we must be main characters) so far we are, Sebas, Di and Ari

b. Pupils (which includes the teacherspet and the squids)

c. Sidequicks

2) HUMANS

3) VILLIANs

a. Masters (IBers since we must be main characters) Felipe and Rodrigo.

b. Pupils (which includes the teacherspet and the squids)

c. Sidequicks

4) HEROE VITAGE (I’m not sue about this ones but) they are

a. Wonderwoman – vale

b. Batman- Felipe

c. Superman – Rodrigo.

AAAAH! COMO QUEDARA ESTOY NERVIOSO. EN QUE NOS EMOS METIDO MIE*DA! FE CHICOS FE! (in spanish so you wont understand Rupert, its for your good)

Ttyl peeps, we’ll talk (jajja “hablamos” manyas? Que Buena)
