Directors for a few weeks
Tuesday, the 25th October 2018
We've been announced a week before that we will be distributed in groups and each group will write 5 scenes play, because professional actors from PapaTango will take those plays and will come to play them in front of our eyes.
On 25th, in 222 room, Sharon told us to already form the groups of minimum 3 persons and maximum 4 and gave to each of us files to complete regarding our character, because we were building up our own character. Me, Tristan, Deja and Tia started by finding a name for our company, which turned out to be MDTT theatre co (I think you already know the mechanism behind this choice).
After that, each one of us had to describe the character we wanted to introduce in the play, but in the mean time we had to talk to each other, as we needed to write about the relation between the characters etc.
MY CHARACTER'S NAME: LARRISS
THE TIME OF ACTION: SUMMER
THE PLACE OF ACTION: AMERICA
HOW THE CHARACTERS MET: LARRISS, NAVAEH AND RAIKO MEET ANDREA AT THE RESTAURANT WHERE SHE WAS WORKING
Wednesday, the 26th October 2018

On 26th we were visited by a woman representing PapaTango and we, practically, had an workshop about creating a play. First of all, she asked everyone what is our favorite TV show/series/movie and why; mine is "The Hobbit", because I love the universe they managed to create, the characters and their actions being full of mystery. After that, we built up the story, following the important steps written on the board for us. We have been guided through the process of creation, following a structure that is available both for the theater plays and films. Our story was written, we thought about every detail, but had still to write the lines without forgetting that the play had to be 10 pages long. There were still two weeks remaining for us to finish writing the lines in a professional way and send the final result to Sharon. She will be sending all the plays to PapaTango and from now on the actors will take care of them.

Here you can see us working on our play in the 034 room. Our ideas were very different and we had many visions about the play's story, but we managed to combine our ideas and the final result was kind of unusual. I' m feeling like I am giving spoilers, but by the time you will be reading this, our play will be already played by the actors. So, our story is based on a zombie apocalypse. There weren't many people left in the town, but Larriss, Raiko, Navaeh and Andrea somehow managed to survive. One day, Andrea sends a message via radio and asked any survivor to meet her at the restaurant she was working. These three strangers arrive there, they meet each other and plan to take the plane and run away. There was a big plane coming every week in this area to save any survivor, if there were ones. Andrea wants to steal the money from Raiko, take the plane alone and go to her mother, who was sick. Larriss finds out about Andrea's plan and decide to keep the money for themselves and leave to take the plane. In their way, Larriss kills Andrea and continues her way, but Raiko and Navaeh meet her on the way. Larriss pretends to be the one who took back the money from Andrea, who stole them. They go together to the plane and manage to escape from the zombies.
On 3rd of October, because the text we have written till now didn't get saved on the computer, me and Tristan spend the day rewriting the text and after we finished writing, we had 4 scenes.

On 9th of October, we all met to finish the script and after we did it, Tia and Deja sent the script to Sharon. We were really happy and proud of our work.
