Today was fun! It was our second to last full day, so everything to do with the Global Action Teams are really coming together- our performances are tomorrow! The morning started off with a performance by Void Physical Theater. The members of Void had been our Dance Global Action Team Leaders, so it was so fun to see them dance. It was even cooler that the piece they performed, titled "High Rise," was brand new, and we were the first audience to see it! It had to do with the British system of government, and how it affected the British people. It was a very interesting style of dance, and a very powerful subject. I really liked seeing our teachers dance, and it was great to see such a new, relevant piece.
After the performance, we broke off into our Global Action Teams, to rehearse for the last time before tomorrow, the day of the show! I'm really excited about the theater piece, the piece about war and peace. Everyone has worked so hard to create a five minute piece of theater, in less than 3 hours total rehearsal time. I really like that our piece utilizes so many different kinds of media- we have poetry, song, spoken lines, and dance, all in a five minute piece. I'm very excited to perform tomorrow.
This afternoon, the Tuesday trip groups switched, and my group went into the city of Birmingham! It's the second largest city in England, and has really great art galleries (and shopping!), so it was fun to go there. We had a couple of hours to explore the city before heading back to campus. At night, we explored the Sports Centre on campus, and went swimming at the university pool! Can't wait for tomorrow, but also can't believe it's our last day here :(
