The 8th grade, section 1, students had the opportunity to take part in a two-hour theatre workshop led by actors Shivesh and Shafali from the BArDo collective, based on Shakespeare’s iconic play Romeo and Juliet.
What the workshop brought us:
- Improving our command of the French language through diction work linked to embodying characters.
- Taking away the fear of being in public.
- Overcoming the shyness we felt toward one another, and eventually feeling completely at ease.
- Boosting our energy.
- Understanding that theatre is about embodying a character—not just repeating words.
- Learning to cooperate better with others.
- Visualizing scenes and characters.
- Discovering ourselves, and feeling more like ourselves.
- Connecting deeply with the characters.
- Getting to know others better, and the emotions they feel.
- Learning the fundamentals of theatrical interpretation.
