TURKISH STUDENTS ARE ON STAGE IN PORTUGAL
THREE MEN IN THE BOAT
With theatre activity we played for the
programme in Portugal we understood that
theatre is really useful for people to improve
their idea and gain different point of view. Now
you are going to ask it "How is it possible?".
While we were preparing for the theatre activity
for our project
“POETRY DRAMA
AND CLASSICS ARE
ON STAGE” we did
some research,we
read different plays
and poetry.So we got
various information
about poetry, drama
and classics from the
World Literature
until we decided to
write our play.
Finally we decided to write our play inspiring
the book “Three Men In A Boat”
The period of writing the theatre play wasn't so
easy for us because ıt is an old book and we
were reading the same chapters and we were
trying to understand Its plot telling its story to
each other. Now I understood It was a big
chance for us to read the same classic and
discuss about the topic, its characters and its
setting, furthermore sharing our ideas with each
other stayed unforgettable memories for us.
Finally we wrote the theatre play,and now it
was time to make a few rehearsals in our
school before performing it in Portugal. We
were so excited and curious about it. We
thought "How it will be ? "Will audiences like
it?"
On the second day
of our arriving we
were on stage to act
our play. Everything
was going on well
and the audience
were still laughing at
the end of the
theatre. It was the
most important
experience in my life
that we managed to perform a theatre play in
multicultural area.
I strongly believe that writing, performing
“Three Men In A Boat” theatre has added a lot
to me and my friends, though. My way of
thinking changed. First of all I learnt that team
work is very important and sharing knowledge.
You can learn a lot of things very soon and now
I gained different perspectives towords life. I
trust myself and I will try to join this kind of
activities in my future life.
