Week #14 Pre-Paucartambo & one act play

Here is a little playlist for you to feast on Click

In less than a week we are leaving for Paucartambo and I have yet to decide what I will research when I get there, I was thinking of doing something like the use of the space or the use of the masks. If I can I would really like to focus on something like a single group like for example just do it all about the Maqtas or the Qollas, but I dont know if that would work for me because I would be missing out on the others by focusing just on one, however if I did want to do it about one group of characters it could be the Maqtas because they are always present. Focusing just on one would be really hard and knowing myself I will do a better job if I focus on a less specific aspect of the festival like the role of the audience  or costumes or anything that could be applied to all the comparsas for that matter. One advantage I will probably have will be that altitude does not affect me as much (or it did not affect me as much the last time I was there) so I wont have to worry about fainting or feeling sick and if I do all I need is a mate de coca and im back on my feet.
When we get back from Paucartambo and the vacations end we will have to continue with the one act play and I am not supposed to talk about it yet because its still in development, so I will just say some things about it. We already have the setting, the characters and the game, we have some of the story maybe and outline of the outline but we already have something to work on. We have had two meetings, the first one was bleh a little bit slow we did not get much done, I would not say it was a complete failure but we did not get much from it appart from the setting and maybe some other ideas like the characters. The second meeting was productive we came up with the game we assigned which characters each one would have and its safe to say that we are ready to start planning the story and all the rest. We have two meetings left before we leave for Paucartambo, so I guess that we really need to step up our game because we cant go to Paucartambo with what we have right now.
The game could be compared a little bit to last years game because it has something to do with "two sides" and a little bit with the game used in "The other side" because it also deals with two different personalities but not of the same character. We are just starting with the one act play so I am not very sure of what to think about it right now but it seems like its going on the right direction specially because we are so many in the group so we wont have the problems other groups had before of having to call people from other grades to help, we are calling someone but it is not because we need more people to play more characters, in fact we have a 13 characters in total: a doctor, a lawyer, manager, a grandmother, a good wife, a bad wife, a priest, a little kid, a mother in law, a father in law, a male nurse, a female nurse and a dead man. So lets hope that we can pull through and live up to the reputation our school has had for years.
