"Oh Romeo. Where art tho?" In drama last week we wrote Haikus (Japanese poems) about nature. Today we performed them with a group. The class's goal was to combine the Haikus together, add movements, and perform it infront of the class. Nick, Mignon, Vicky and I were in group. Our black pants with a nature colored shirts stood out against the plain black outfits that the other groups wore. I wish I had thought of recording our performance to see what we could improve before our graded performance. Watching ourselves would have helped us figure out that we needed more emoion and voice in our skit. I loved the ending of our skit though. Leave your comments! Be truthful.

Poem
I liked the poem, outfits good, liked the end where you were pounding, hit the ground, rolled over. There seemed to be a funny accent at the beginning...I agree with your observation, more inflection in your voices. On a side note, I hope your pits were dry when you fell into that boys arms. Could have been a bit embarrassing?? LOVE YOU.

I though it was cool
I had never seen a Haikus acted out before. I feel sorry for the earth being cracked and all.

dance
Well I thought it was cute. Could use some more practice. If it had music it did not play so it was a little difficult figuring out what you were dancing to....but as long as you are in it I love watching it!

Thank you! No, there was no music, but we were saying our Haikus. It makes more sense with the words. People seem to be having trouble with the video. I think it is either the website or their computers.
