1.) The lights and the colors look super dark, also with the music makes it more creepier, I can see in the background there were pictures of 5 boys. 2.) I think the mood the director was making by these choices is dark and mysterious since the lighting and colors were dark. 3.) The note of 1:25, sounded very terrifying, it sounded very creepy. I can also hear heavy breathing 4.) I think the note really helped to begin the story in central park 5. I can already tell the story is going to be interesting and pretty mysterious. 5.) I think the mood the director was going for is mysterious and scary. I noticed there was 5 pictures of 5 boys. There was a man singing (opera) I guess its the narrator, another man and a woman just standing there. ~ Camila Genis

# data[].attributes.body
1.) I see there were people on stage and the lighting on the stage was black then it got lighter as the people came into the stage.

2.) The mood I thing the director is trying to set is “moody” due to it being dark and just Quiet without movement.

3.) It was lighter now and the music what loud, and the music sounded serious at the moment then it just started sounding like all the instruments was playing at the same time.

4.) The beginning helped me tell what the story was going to be about due to the “serious dark music “ then “low music and more lighting music”.

5.) The director wanted the mood to be dark, and serious and to make the feeling more seem able.

1)Something students get out of the experiences are a chance to do something they never did before and to put their feelings out on the stage

2)What surprised me in black theater in Chicago is how they use how to handle problems in the classroom and life lessons.

3)If i had a play the tittle would be the face behind the kid.

Hey Tenyias, Ms. Vivion here: I LOVE the title of this play, I want you to write it, for real. It is so intriguing. Your answers are thoughtful and interesting. Thank you for the response.

# data[].attributes.body
If we had a lewis theatre ensemble that was controlled by students, the stories would most definitely be about drama, or action. the characters in the story would be in class or at home.-Before I watched the video

# data[].attributes.body
Something they can do is take there time and take a deep breathe to help calm before they go onto the stage and that will help like never before.

For number 2 i say something that surprised me with the black theater is they were able to get things going even when they first started they were able to get stuff and they make lots of money off of it.

Last but not least number 3:I would say that it would be called "The life of Dark skin Leonardo DiCaprio".

# data[].attributes.body
If we had a Lewis theatre our stories would be about maybe astronaut or Alice wonderland. The Characters would be in our stories is 8th graders. And what would happen in the story is like the same story about Alice wonderland the same Lines and Theme If we do Astronaut it’ll be about astronaut and how they are and what they do in the story.  ~Tia

# data[].attributes.body
The students from Albany park theatre get out of their experiences are when they was acting and everything, they couldn’t believe that they was acting and that they could do it, though they never thought they could do it or experience being part of the theatre. Something that surprised me about the Black theater in Chicago is when Those people was acting it surprised me because I didn’t know it was about Racism like the lady who own the theatre said but it was history to me :) ~Tia

# data[].attributes.body
The theatre kids experienced to be unique and to be comfortable and to be free.What surprised me was that I had no idea that we had a black theatre.My title of the my life experiences would be The life of a Smith- Trinahtee

1.) something the students from Albany Park theatre ensemble get out of their experiences with being a part of the theatre was expressing there emotions with one another and depending on each other.

2.) It was very different because you won't normally see mostly blacks perform in a play.

3.) I don't know what the title of my play will be.

Something in Albany park the students get out their experience is that they learned how to express emotions and feel how other people feel. They had a tutor who helped them improve their grades. Something that surprised me in the black theatre was that it wasn’t all black, they accepted everyone and stayed positive. If I could make a show at lewis it would be called All Live Matter.-after I watched the video

# data[].attributes.body
Theater is a drama act where people can be their self, they can learn, and explore new things that they have never experienced before.

1. What I think that is important about theater in our world today is that people can really bring out who they are, they don’t have to change their selves for nobody, they can show their emotions, and theater also provokes people to take chances.

2.Some skills that I think we can learn from doing theater is that we learn how to express our feelings and get them all out, and if you don’t really talk that much or you are antisocial then doing theater could help you get over your fears and learn how to do teamwork.
