'Drama' in Aabenraa

Drama day’s, what are the first things that pop up when you think about ‘drama’?
Theatre, acting and word. And that it was. But still it was also different. Sometimes it was really nice, sometimes it was a bit dull. A lot of the things we had to do we already had done those once before. If it was not here in Denmark then we had done them in the drama sessions in Belgium. So it wasn’t always that refreshing but it was nice. On Tuesday the main guideline we had to follow was the mystery behind ‘the photo’ (photography). The teacher showed us all a picture of a girl, only her face. We had to imagine a story with the picture and the background music. Then we had to make our own kind of picture (statue-wise) and poem based on the story we had made up. On Friday we had to work with music and masks. The first thing we needed to do was walking on music and while we were walking we had to feel the music. It had to set the tone. Afterwards we beheld the music but added the masks. And it is really crazy what a mask can do with a person. It hides you identity and you become this sort of ‘other’ person. A person that dares, that dares to do things it would not do without the mask.. it gave this kind of protection and certainty. We were all laying down and when the music started we had to move, move on the rhythm and the melody of the music. After warming up we had to divide ourselves into 3 groups. Each group got a CD and had to make a choreography for a song. Some had a song were they felt violence, others felt sadness and we had found joy. It was really intensive and nice, also good to be creative and working together in groups. It was a very good experience for the group, because it showed that we respect each other and it felt like it was right.
