In Drama we are doing acting on the holocaust, some of us being Jews, some of us being Nazis. Personally, I love this topic and its SO diffrent to anything Ive ever done.
Firstly, we were Jews before the house-raids began. Then during our performance we get raided by Nazis un-anounced. Your character could get killed as there was a gun in use (Only fires blanks of course)
Secondly, (I did this performance today) We were Jews in hiding. One of the people in your group gets caught by Nazis and you had to act out the tourture scene. Again the gun was available.
Next, we dont really know what we are doing but we were given a number of clues. These were
1) Bring a hand-towel
2) Pray the weather isnt bad
3) Think with your feet and with your mind
Now, what I find wierd about all this is when you have the gun, you feel dead powerful! Even though you know its fake, you get this sence of power and almost god like feeling. Everyone who has had the gun has had this feeling. Today I acted my heart out, and I think its all down to the power I felt!
What do you think?
