Drama Trip 2011

Participating in the High School Production of MacBeth provided me with the opportunity to attend the High School Drama Trip of 2011 to London. I had an amazing time while we were in London, not only was it a well needed break from school but we also went and saw various plays, took theatre tours, participated in workshops and met with actors. The trip also proved beneficial because of the amount of freedom I felt walking around in London. On this trip we walked pretty much everywhere enabling us to really immerse ourselves in the culture of the streets of London. I’ve included this particular activity on this blog because of the amazing opportunities we had while spending our time in London. We did a couple of workshops while we were there but one workshop that really stood out was one that was taught by an actor at the Globe Theatre who acted in one of the plays we went to see. He spent a good two hours with us teaching us new relaxing methods and acting tips as well as very useful techniques in working with Shakespeare and getting into character. I found all of the workshops we went to very helpful with preparing myself for the play, as well as calming myself at the same time.
