Drama

Recently, we took part in a drama performance in the Holy Faith Convent in Glasnevin, where we acted out the plays we had been working on since September. This time, we decided to connect all the TY plays into one big performance, linking it back to the primary message..."If Margaret Aylward was alive today, what would she do to assist the people suffering throughout the country." Despite our nerves early on in the day, it was nice to spend the entire day with all TY's, I suppose it helped us bond in a sense...over a mutual feeling of boredom :) We had two practices on stage, one soon after we arrived & one later on in the day, soon before we were due to go on. We also got the opportunity to look at the other school's rehearsals, which were very good as well. I really enjoyed the performance from the school in Finglas, they managed to obtain a very modern dramatic style, while never wandering off topic. I enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds of the convent in the mountains of free time we had. There's something really mysterious, yet alluring about the place. Even though the practices did not go as well as we had hoped, in that we weren't projecting our voices enough & we had some pretty horrendous problems with our music, our actual performance in front of the audience went brilliantly. Everybody was so friendly, congratulating us on our way out; it really made me feel welcome. All in all, there was a really nice atomosphere & it was a great experience :)
