This week in drama, we had to pick groups and then read and practice our Commedia Dell'Arte scripts and also present a presentation about it.
My partner is Christie and we were talking about the Lovers. It was actually kind of hard to read the scripts, because we had to read them with feeling. I mean the reading part was easy, but we had to read with actions and emotions. So when we were reading we had to do actions (tried to), and we ended up doing some silly actions. I'm not really sure if i'm ready to present on Monday (tomorrow), i'm pretty nervous, because I don't know if I should really do the actions that we thought of..
We did the presentation in Google Docs so me and Christie could share it and do it together. We are done with the presentation, so I guess i'm not really that stressed about the presentation part.
On Friday's drama class, we did an activity where we will have to "argue" and then someone will become the higher status and then that person would stand on the chair and then the other person would want to over power him. But also remembering that if someone has a higher status (than you), then you would listen to that person, but you would have to use a smart and polite way to overpower that other person.
It was kind of hard, because I couldn't think of a topic to argue about, plus i'm not a good argue-er....so the conversation was really awkward..

+ the masks came!!! They look pretty :)
