9th and 10th weeks of my EYE in Poland – Oliver Jost

During these two weeks I have been working in schools for a project called “Shakespeare in school”, creating an indian ritual. I know, you will think, what is the relation between Shakespeare and the indians? Well I guess we will find a relation later. For now, it’s about creating a group dynamic and building confidence with the students and the teachers with Brama workshops’ leader. The funny thing is that we are 5 leaders and no one is polish! I was also playing the show “Ghost Dance” in the festival Bestoff in a beautiful city called Jelena Gora. We had amazing good reviews and critics but we did not (again) win the contest because, as I understand, we are too radical.

I hope the show will bring work. Anyway, I am learning a lot and I can say that working in a community theatre with so much volunteers and helpers is much more easy than working on my own, as I was during so many years.
