More staging stuff!!

So the beginning of the week began with more singing, dancing, and blocking!! But we also had a guest speaker come and talk with us about working through cultural barriers and using our understanding of different cultures to help bridge gaps. He was a really interesting speaker and the week before he came and spoke to us with some of the representative of the United Nations!! It was way cool to hear about his stories and to get information from him. The thing I liked most about him was that it wasn't a seminar in which we just sat and listened to him talk about what we should be doing, he actually just gave us ideas and really let us think about problems and solutions on our own! I think this was great because it let each of us really take ownership of what we were doing and so even though we were all sitting in the same room listening to the same speaker, we each got something different out of it!
Tuesday and Wednesday were spent doing more dancing, singing, and blocking. (What a suprise) But on Thursday we got to spend the entire day in Boulder, CO. It was such a beautiful place and the day we incredible!! We started by doing a scavenger hunt around the city, which led us to the University of Colorado at Boulder's campus (also beautiful by the way) and also downtown. We learned so many little pieces of information about the area (Like the fact that it has a hotel named Boulderado after Boulder and Colorado) and it was just a good time to spend some relaxation time with my cast mates and get to know some of them a little better! After the scavenger hunt we went on a tour of Celestial Tea Factory! Oh man the smells I smelled!! It was so great! I think my favorite was definitely the Peppermint room in which the peppermint smell is almost overwhelming but still wonderful all the same!! It was an amazing time!
And finally today, we did more dancing, blocking, and singing as usual!! But more to come later!!
