Finishing up the scenery

16/06/09

On Tuesday we stayed at school after rehearsing La Vida es Sueño to finish the scenery. This meant to finish painting the tower, finishing with the palace, with the mountains in the desert, etc. We had to organize and finish with all props and scenery because tomorrow is our final rehearsal before the premiere. We knew that we were running out of time because we never did the whole play complete. We always stopped. I am worried, I don´t know what will happen. However, we had to put this problem out of our minds and finish with the production process at once.

We planned how we were going to paint it, at first. Then we planned who was going to do which thing and we managed to do it. In the end, we had good results. I painted the tower with the help of my IB partners, while others were in the palace decorating the railings. After painting the tower, I also helped with the decoration of the railings.

I also fixed the swords because the part where you grab the sword was very thin and we couldn´t fight, it was very painful. You could feel the pain in your hand. As a result, we buy two sponges and adhesive tape and I lined it where you grab the swords in order to have a thicker one and be able to fight much better.

After 2 hours of working we finally finished with all the scenery, it was all ready for our final, and most important, rehearsal.
