the following day was dedicated to acting – a session of the theatre oppressed where the participants had to act and improvise without any words at all. as the previous days had been really rough they needed some amusement. the participants were divided into groups. two groups at a time were asked to come to the stage. next our fabulous moderator brais gave them some topics and they had to improvise. loads of fun. after they short performance the jury – other participants and trainers – gave points!
after that we had a barbeque in the park. why? i tell you. the casa de juventud de amarante serves only vegetarian food on the concept of fair trade. that means that every day everyone got only dishes without any meat or fish. although i was extremely satisfied with the food (i felt like in heaven as everything was absolutely delicious and i seriously believe i gained a couple of kilos) the participants started complaining after few days. so that’s the reason why miguel, our incredible host, decided to organise us a lovely barbeque in a park. and you should have seen the faces of the participants – they were so happy and excited. especially my dear italian stefano!
in the evening the participants had a chance to attend two workshops – space acoustic and visuals. space acoustics was given bt rui with a meaning. during their performances the participants started to make too much noise on the streets. so there had to be something done – a workshop was the quickest solution. rui took the participants and went to discover amarante. finally they made a performance next to the cathedral when the bells started ringing. it was awesome. the visuals workshop was lead by monika with the idea to teach the participants to use visual materials in a proper way. the result of it was some interesting notes all around the hostel and city.
