While writting this blog I am still under impression of the show that happened few hours ago.Acting in the play was unique feeling and expirience and now I can say that I am very happy because of taking this class although I didn't participate even close as classmates during this semester.Now, when the end is coming I feel kind of sad because I won't be able to work with my group members and with all other people from our class.
Our performing was pretty decent.Now while watching it on my camera, it is very easy to note the mistakes that we were making.My covorriors were better than me because they were more clear when speaking. Personally I favorize Nikki's performance because she was very sweet in role of Ophelia.Also I think that I would find better myself in part "Be or Not to Be" because I see myself as very depressed and emotional while speaking those words.Better said,that role should belong to guy and I now I regret that I didn't take it when it was offered to me.
The best thing we got from this play is getting deep under skin of Shakespeare's heroes.We found out much more about them because we tried to be Hamlet,Ophelia,Polonius, and King.Before starting memorizing and knowing lines of play, it was unclear how come is possible to write five pages about this small thing. Now I am convinced that I was completely wrong and that five pages will be too small to accept all facts that we need to put on them. Before taking this class I couldn't imagine that Shakespeare's tragedies contain history of human nature, e specially those human weaknesses that are major causes of evil that is killing us. He was really genious, one of the biggest minds in literature and theater.The only thing that bothers me about Shakespeare is the big question tag regarding authenticity of his master pieces.However,we have to be grateful to person who gave us this invaluable inheritance.
I must mentioned that Romeo & Juliet group did a great job in every segment of acting.They were solid in acting and costumography and scene were on very high level for a group of acting amateurs.The only thing they were missing is presence of male person because playing opposite gender is not easy at all. Unfortunately, I didn't get chance to see other two groups and I am very courious to find out impressions about their performances (e specially about performance of Titus group).
After all, writting of these blogs became a big pleasure to me because it gave me freedom to put my own opinion about things that were happening during our class. This was my mean of participation because my nature is pretty shy and it is hard for me to talk in front of many people (although I denied it tonight).This won't be my last blog because I want to make up something what I missed at the beginning of semester so see you next week at the same time!!!

Good work, Mirko. It took a lot of courage to be the "star" of the evening. You delivered your lines very well and were part of a great group.
