The Perfect Passover Dinner

Our journey began in October with a first meeting, in which we started to grow as a group through various theatre exercises and games. These activities created real connections between us and the students, and fed their creativity and their passion for theatre. Within this project we are learning to have a purpose within our community. We are learning the language of theatre through social exercise. We are getting to know the props of the theatre. On our journey towards the actor's language, we plunged into the fascinating world of how props are used on stage. Once an actor understands what his characters want, and understands what stands between his character and that goal, he looks for an instrument to work with on stage. We have practised and go on practising this idea through social games. With a great deal of good cheer.
