Back home

Hey – I am so surprised how fast the time is running... I am back home already one week... Crazzy!!! ... And still thinking about the Workshop and the friends what I have met there!!

There is something really important what I wanted to say - It was really great to work together, to be on stage (to act) with different collegues – in so close contact, in so close communication (non verbal, of course J, but as I undestood – it is much more than verbal communication, because you should really listen in your partner, in his real feelings.. )... It was always a wonderful surprise how our feelings, emotions and non verbal communcation between stage partners can grow :)

I really appreciate that I had this opportunity to play on stage with such a positive, open, and energic people!

Antje – you are very great person, there are a hundreds of things to learn from you! For example – your fantazy language! Incredible! Really! The way how you aced as a clown was extremely funny for me (flirting with eye) :D I love also how you was that extremely nice lady with City map in the bus stop and also, of course, your fighting and being as a ghost. :)
Catherine – you are very beautiful young woman! You have very special glamour, please – do not ever forget this! You was ssso cute aggressor! Aggressor and cute! So great! :D Extremely cute! And you are really good in that! :) I had fun to play with you together - and we had this opportunity a lot of times. ;)
Marie-Severine – you are very friendly and helpful woman with a wonderful positive energy! I loved to talk to you and actually just look how you communicate with people. You have so good voice and pantomime. I always enjoyed looking at you when you were on stage. Very Professional! You are Professional! :)
Angeline – Ohhh yesss! :) You are my lovely queen! - Forever! I really enjoyed to play with you all the times we had that opportunity. It is so easy to play with you, because it is so easy to feel and read on your face what do you feel and what do you want to say. I like the energy what comes from you. :)
Raivis – you are friendly and extremely positive young men! I really appreciate that I had this wonderful opportunity to get to know you better as we spent so much time together. Thank you for sharing your time and emotions! I loved when you was dying Polonius and also what you said one day behind Piano „Please, give me the space for dying! I need the space for dying well :D” And when you was that clown – oo men! I couldn’t stop laughing!!! :D
Paul – my first impression about you – yes – he knows what does he do..., and then I understood that - really – you know what you are doing on the stage for sure. It is always so interesting to look at you. Thank you for having fun when we were clowns on the stage and also the last day’s backstage fun. :D
Theresa – you are young but with so BIG potential! Please, continue acting! You are extremely good in that! You have everything for that - you are good looking, nice, friendly, open to diferent and also reallllly crazzzzy ideas, etc. and etc. You are our baby (as Delphine said once) :) You need to be on stage! I really enjoyed to look at you all the times and allt he times you was surprise for all of us! :) I liked how you acted as Hamlet and also as an aggressor, but the most I really loved your song in the first day. It was lovely. :)
Ludmila – I like that you are always in harmony, friendly. It is nice to be in your company, because I have very safe and relaxed feeling. I loved your last day’s personage - typical Latvian men with grass :D, and also that clown conclusion presentation was really good ;)You are lovely Ophelia and funny Polonius, and I loved the sound – „u uuu” – when ghost comes. :)
Anna – you are nice person! I really had fun when we were playing together and you was my victim :D he hee – we were laughing soo much :D And yes – You are really good when you had to be as an agressor. :)
Selin – you are soo fantastic turkish woman! The first person we have met and also we spent much time together. You have very specific glamour. I like how you dance and your wonderful sparkle in your eyes. When you was a clown – I laughed ssoo much - :D you and piano :D Your way how you act is so nice, specific and it was always real/true! :)
Davut – you are quite nice Hamlet! :) Hmm... – actually, yes, you are ;) Because I always enjoyed to look how you play – there were all emotions in you – interest, love, maddeness, hate, contept, etc. Sometimes I was really scared... Funny was when you went to dead Polonius, looked at him, then at your watch, and said – „sorry, but I have to go” :D I liked all of those times when we play together and also last evenings great conversation and fun in the metro :D
Elena & Elena – both of you always will be for us as „Elena Elena” :) - together (as the first excersise – when the task was – there is something important to say, but you cann’t – it was funny :D ), at the same time there are a hundreds of specific things to say to each of you, because I had that wonderful opportunity to play with each of you.
Elena – You are the first person with who I had excersise with that stick – listening – I liked it :D and the last day’s conclusion presenation was very funny (do nothing! feel it! Let the things happen! - do nothing!) :D
Elena (Ophelia) – you are extremely good agressor (bus stop – that ph ph)! I feel that I still can hear how you answer – „yes Hamlet?.. I listen!.. To be Hamlet!” and - the last conclusion presentation (warm up) – I couldn’t stop laughing :D
Maya – you are really great person (friendly, interesting, postive) and professional on stage! This is what I understood already when you introduced yourselve by telling poema on the first day. I love to look at you when you are on the stage. It is always interesting! And enjoyable! And please never forget very important moment – Unesco :D he hee :D
Juliette – thank you for your translation and improvisation during translation J, your always positive energy and your help and taking care of us all the week ;)

Some thoughts from home!!!

Hello Everyone!!!!

Back home and I still feel a little bit strange. It's like i left something in the middle, like i left when everything was getting a meaning, a sense, when something was starting to being built. It is a great knowledge that i have gained through the workshop. During the workshop, the eenerrgy was so possititve and that was beacause of each one of you. Thank you for making this experience so positive with your own true character!!!! I hope we meet again in the future for the continuance of what we started...

I will cherish the memories of this week

Glad to have been part of it



With my love

it will never be over
















Hi there!
Before going to sleep on the 'last day' I had a feeling that everything was happening in a slower pace. The water in the shower was running slower, cars on the street were slower, people in the yard were laughing slower. Really... That was a bit weird...

Some of workshop mates said that this is because I do not want to leave yet and that's why the time for me was running slower. And I cannot argue about this. It was hard to leave...

I miss you all guys! Your honesty, optimism, happiness, crazy ideas, openness, friendliness, theatralism...

And I do believe that the world is small enough for us to meet once again... See you later :)

P.S. I will never be the same person again. The workshop shaped my personality and changed me a lot [in a positive way, of course]

P.S.2 I enjoyed a lot the 'warming up' excercise a few hours before the flight.

大家好!

我过了一个非常愉快的星期。

这车间很有趣,大家都很好! 气氛也很不错。

过的很快,可惜这已经结束了。

有一点哀伤,... 希望我们下次见面。

拜拜


Catherine
