Romeo and Juliet

    Are there how many milestone in someone's life who will be 18 in soon? Meeting with Erasmus was one of the important thing in my life.

    The story begins when a saw the project board in front of the school.I always wanted a part in a project  like this and ıf ıt was Erasmus. I had to be in it.I always wanted to know about other cultures and wanted to know what other people from diffrent countries think about Turkey. That was a big chance to experience  all  these . So at the end of this thoughts I was someone who joined Erasmus project in her life for the first time.

    In the one of the meetings teacher said that there will be a theatre never done something like this in our school before. Why you cannat be If you are someone who always dream yourself on stage. Of course you had to win  at least one role.After the competition. Suprise! I was Juliet. 

    It began with no negation but as time goes somebody stopped coming for rehearsals.We were  so excited and hopeful at the beginning of it but our hope was running out slowly. We got through all of that and managed to put an amazing teamwork.

    When you are on stage you feel yourself as if in a magical worldl.You are not the person who you are.You are who you act. You think like her you feel the same how she feels.

    If you do all of that you will deserve the applauds that people made for you after the play.I shouldn't forget the times we spent at the backstage .I won a lot of amazing friendships there.

    Now when I am 18  If someone ask me what did you left behind you? I am sure my anwer will be "I had a considerable stage experience".

    Theatre just didn't give me a wonderful experience.I also won a chance to go to abroad for the first time.But the most important thing for me is that I took the first step to the road that goes to my dreams. Thanks to my teacher and all of the people who are  part of this project to give this opportunity to me.

    Romeo Juliet is my first theatre experience.To be honest at the beginning I found it very difficult and I found Shakespearen theatre quite difficult and complicated but then my thoughts began to change just because of team work and help of our teacher.Now I believe I gained a lot of skills with this activity; First of all I can speak easily in front of people,ı have a lot of memories to tell in the future.
