Week #11 Less than a week and less than a month

Here is a little playlist for you to feast on Click.

As of right now Sunday June 17th we are 4 days away from presenting the play and compared to previous years we are far behind, this could be because of the fact that we may have not done our best at finishing everything, maybe the play need a lot of production because of the masks and puppets or maybe its because we have a week less than previous years, but it is probably a mix of the three elements. It actually looks like we are almost done with the masks and the puppets and on thursday we got the black shirts and pants that go as a base, but because of how rushed this past week has been I really dont have much to write about apart from this, but I will try.
One thing that I am really excited for is our trip to Paucartambo that is in less than a month and I am excited because of two reasons 1) I really like Cuzco and the Peruvian mountains because when I was younger I used to go on road trips with my parents and now every time I get the chance to go it is nice to remember everything I used to do as a kid, plus every time I go there I get this calm feeling and I just feel very relaxed, but it just may be the lack of oxygen. 2) I really want to learn more about the festival because from what we have already seen in class it looks like it will be an experience that we wont forget and it really looks like a bonding experience and something that we will probably need after the play. I hope that this year our group does do the Paucartambo re-imagination at school thing that they do every year because last year the group that had to do it did not get a chance to do so and it really looks like fun and it probably is one of the things that I want to do the most this year because it is a way of taking the festival to newton and because it is something that will probably be embedded in our memories for the rest of our lives it would be nice to re live it again. 
But if we are struggling with getting the play done and with the one act play in september will we be able to do it? and if we do have time what could we do?

  1. heartfelt, but superficial

    try to focus on what you're learning in the process of making the play, and make connections with your other experiences and previous knowledge
