Blog Numero Cuatro(Four) - Shazi (The Shaz) Asher.

     

   We were introduced to a new program called “Creativity Rocks” which was a very fun and interesting experience. We made poems relating to social rights and then combined them all into one big presentation. Each group was given a section of the poem and were split into the actors and the readers. As one of the readers, I was required to read aloud a poem with my partner, to match the movements of the actors. All of the groups got together, and we put it into one big masterpiece!

          At the actual performance night, we arrived in a school bus, not knowing what would go wrong and what would be right. We put down our bags and went to the gallery to have a run through of the presentation. The readers were given a microphone, and we did the same as we did at school practices, and got used to the space. After a break of pizza, juice, water and cookies, we went inside to perform.

      

    After the presentation, we got on the bus and went back to school. On the bus back home, we played cards and talked about the performance, and laughed at our flaws. In my opinion, it was very well done and overall, I think the audience enjoyed it. One thing that would have benefited us would be more practice. If we were at the Neilson Creative Arts Centre a week or so before the presentation, we would have had more time to practice on the actual stage.
