The reading for this week, was much easier for me to understand compared to past readings, or was it? Maybe this week the reading for me just seemed like I could relate more in a sense. I am not an actress so reading scripts aren't always my favorite type of reading however, I felt more engaged. I think what stands out most to me is the fact that Claudette Colvin a 15 year old girl was so courageous. I believe we are our at our strongest point between adolescence and our young adult lives. It is easier as someone who is not as developed into the world to stand up and say somethings. I think because you have yet to be rejected or not as much as someone older. The reading is inspiring in a sense that you remember to put yourself in someone else shoes. I truly love hearing about a system that of the Joker system, and how there is a specific role for someone who is this drama leader, someone who takes full responsibility for all matters, however they cannot interject. I think it is wise to have a neutral standing person in a performance, that person can help you conclude your thoughts and ideas without being bias. I also love how this is an interactive play and involving the audience is important. Although I am not one to jump in on class gatherings it is nice once and a while to be pulled into a surrounding where you have a part. - Rachel DeRosa
