CAS 11-03-2015

Today was a such amazing day.
Starting by the CAS. Yarden had a appointment and couldn't go. She wasn't feeling that good. I went alone and worried about her. Now she is okay. But well...  I took the wrong train. It made me annoyed and hopeless to find the right place. But I come to the city. Find someone else who help me to find the ''right way''.
Well, I arrived 15 minutes late. Apologize for miss Anja. I felt she was disappointed about that. I explain everything and we get okay after.

But well, as usually, we did the warming up in the begginig. But afterall they was so energetic and without any concentration to do anything else. So... Anja did something special. Ask them to simulate a sleep moment. And after she turn off the lights -but it was still enlightened, once the lights outside reflect inside of the room-  and start to include in the narrative monsters, pirates, a lot of wind and sea water... (It was a begging of our future play we want to do in that term yet)
They start to be in the vibe. And after they get up and start to simulate as they wore in a pirate boat.
She didnt order: ''oh be the pirate, or be.. blablabla.'' No! They just assume their own caraters in a magic and inocent way. But they played sooo well!! I was really impressed.
I felt like they have the ''inner carater''. I felt it was magic, but kind of sad as well. One of the children said: ''oh, I am the mouse'', while another one said ''I am the capitan''. Who decide who is who? I mean, why society, parents, friends, whatever, told them that?

I was fascinated how theatre can oppen the sub-cousiousness so easily. But kind of frightened about how it can just make people assume stereotipes.
I hope during that time we can work on that. We be able to change their perspectives about themselves, and the girl who easily just wanted to be the mouse, be brave to somehow, brielfly perform the queen.

I am extremelly excited about my CAS. I am happy to didn't regreat to go there. Happy to work with Anja, Yarden. Happy to learn so much.

Thanks God for that <3

ps: well, we had global Affairs as well, and I would like to talk more about in next posts.ANYWAY It was awesome. Speacially about the division of the time and how we had tree speeches, a lot of funny inprovisational plays (IT WAS SO COOL)  and time for debate as well.

Pretty nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
