Drama in Aabenraa

On Tuesday a group of 13 people set off to Aabenraa to have "Drama and movement" class there. This class was taught by Flemming Rassmusen. First we played some icebreaker games and then tried to express ourselves through gestures, mimics and movement.
We also did little acting and created a poem, being inspired by music and a picture. The poem of our group is as following:

What a sad day today
All I eat tastes like clay.
My heart is broken and never will be fixed
and all my feelings are utterly mixed.
Without a soulmate, without a single friend
I find myself in the country of Neverland.
I just wish I could to go Legoland.
Istead I have to walk to the graveyard
But I cannot walk

my steps are so hard.

After the lesson we went for a walk to the beach and then went home tired but happy.
On Friday we used masks a lot. First there were some warm-up activities (based on running and imitating) and then we acted. We were embryos discovering our own bodies and the world around us, we also created a story corresponding to a music extract and we also reflected what we had done during those 2 sessions.
In my opinion, both classes were very beneficial and I enjoyed them thoroughly. Some of these activities could easily be used with pupils.

A Trip to Aarhus

It's 5.41 A.M. and I cannot sleep. I woke up at 3 A.M. and since then I haven't fallen asleep. Therefore, I decided to brush up my blog a little bit, although I've got a feeling that few people are interested in reading it and viewing pictures.
On Tuesday our group of 11 people (me, Vojta, Katka, Viki, Mery, Caroline, Siv Hege, Kari, Ania and her boyfriend and Zeliha) went on a trip to Aarhus, the 2nd largest city of Denmark. We expected a lot but I was a bit disappointed. The weather wasn't very nice and both the Ancient Museum and the Organic Garden we wanted to visit were closed. Also the train and bus tickets were very expensive, there was a long queue at the ticket office and besides the train had a 45-minute-delay. I thought that just Czech trains are delayed constantly. Moreover, we got on a wrong train as there are no signs and you cannot recognize where the train is going and you always have to ask somebody to be 100 % sure.
We bought some pizza in Aarhus and I got sick later so I wonder if it was because of the pizza. I think so..:-(
However, I was glad that we've seen something new. It wasn't a bad day at all, we had fun and hygelige time in one of the Cafés in Aarhus.
