Drama

Why hello there!

It's certainly been a while hasn't it! And i'm sorry for that. If I'm going to be completely honest i've been away for a while because *dramatic pause* I don't have anything interesting to write about. Believe it or not my life is boooooring. And that's just the way the cookie crumbles. What cookie you ask? I have no idea. It's just a phrase I've heard before. So .... Today's post is going to be about ... DRAMA! I'm going to split this post into two parts. So enjoy!

1)For those few of you who read my blog and don't live in Bahrain - every season we have something going on organised by the government? or some ministry or other. And so during this glorious spring period the 'Spring of Culture' started. One of the events going on was Princess Bari. An asian theatre piece performed with music and dancing and elaborate, colorful costumes. Being a drama student I was offered a ticket to watch Princess Bari - for free, free, free! (I'm sorry, I really couldn't resist). I was so excited that I momentarily 'misplaced' my ticket - but of course I found it in the depths of the black hole that is my school backpack. So I went to  Princess Bari and it was really cool. It's probably not everyones cup of tea but let me tell you this ... I was highly entertained. But then of course you get those people who don't appreciate the arts and it's versatile ways? I know there's no point getting worked about it. But... They were leaving! During the performance!!!!!! Isn't that rude? I thought it was worth sitting outside in freezing weather-without proper attire - might I add. The whole thing was very asian! From the clothes to the music. I didn't fully understand the story, but I made my own version up and that suited me just fine.  Overall I had a great time, my friends had a great time and it was an evening well spent.

2)As I mentioned above I'm a GCSE drama student, and just a couple of days ago I had my final performance. For this performance I was in a group of 5 with Amy, Taylor, Rebecca and Sahar! We took the play Leaves by Lucy Caldwell and shortened it to 25 minutes by cutting and chopping to fit. We were given about 6 weeks to prepare and it was the most hectic 6 weeks of my life! We held after school rehearsals almost everyday. And additional rehearsals on the weekends. Meaning, we had to say 'sayonara' to our social lives. When I think about it now , I realize it was all worth it. We had this amazing piece of drama that we were all so proud of. We performed amazingly, everything went smoothly and most importantly 'most' people liked our performance. I know I speak on behalf of everyone in my group when I say , we were all so nervous we could've peed our pants! :O And of course we hit some rough patches along the way, but we pulled through and  I am so proud. :) I could get the video of our performance and post it on here - but I'm not that good, and I'm not sure my amigas would appreciate that.

Don't we look like a happy family? 

Until next time Amigos!

From the other side of the rainbow.
