Today we started early in the morning. Right now the Design team is working on postcards (for promotion purposes) about all workshops of LANTERNA FUTURI.The Video team is working with a technic called stop motion. Their movie will be about … It will be a suprise.

Everybody is looking forward to present the results tonight. Till then both teams have to hurry up.

Hello everybody, after one month break, we’re starting with new actions!

Today we met again in the beautyfull Big Chicken Village and started with new action called “popo im shrank”. Everyone of us had to go behind the “shrank” and give a short interview. It was so funny, people were playing different characters, wearing strange costumes, telling weird stories or singing about problems with cats, little girls, robberies, wifes etc.
Afterwards the team of the video workshop made a funny montage of the footage. The product was amazing! Finally we had 40 minutes show with a special trailer. Our presentation finished at 1:30am and we were tired, but nobody was whining. It was a great start for the weekend!

Hallo, it is only a week since Lanterna, but energy we gave each other there is fastly fading away, because we are back in our normal lifes, in our schools and families, with our troubles, problems and joys. So here are some pictures to bring back some memories. (Im sorry you can´t see any thumbnails anymore, but this editor suddenly stopped to offer them, and I don´t know why)

Nobody can believe it came so fast, but it did – the last day, the show day. In Radvance in Czech Republic they had their one workshop show too even with people from outside, but nothing compares to final Groshedo party.

We made finishing touches to our works in the morning. Designers had to be finished before lunch, because they needed to print all their stuff in the office. After the lunch they just prepared the room for the presentation. Cleaned everything, shot some pictures to make short Quicktime movie, hanged the posters, talked quickly about who presents what.

Musicians and theatre people practiced and practiced all day long until everything was ready (or until they knew theres no time left). And outcome of their works was just perfect or very close to it, as was designers stuff of course. I wouldn´t like to judge here what was good or bet, its up to everybody – that means that you are welcome to wright your evalution of the show to me or publish it at the forum, where everybody can read it.

So only short description – concert was funny and intensive with all these costumes and blood all over everybody, designers stuff was the best and theatre performance – it made me cry a little I must confess. Fortunately I don´t need to write down every detail here, because its best kept in your minds and hearts. And for those who were not here – some pictures from our final party.

THURSDAY 11.01.2007r.

Dzisiejszy dzien zaczal sie, jak zwykle od ciezkiej pobudki. O godz. 8:30 pani Jirina i Eva zaprosily nas na sniadanie. Nie bylo zaplanowanej rozgrzewki, poniewaz brakowalo nam czasu na nakrecenie i montaz filmu. Tak wiec, od razu po sniadaniu rozpoczelismy prace. Zaczelismy od sceny, gdzie Martyna zostaje ugodzona siekiera. Odbylo sie kilka prob o okolo godz. 12:00 skonczylismy nagrywac wszystkie ujecia. Rowniez duzo pracy miala grupa newsow, poniewaz nagrywali sceny do wydania specjalnego. Edytorzy zajmowali sie, jak zwykle montazem filmu i newsow. Wszyscy byli bardzo zajeci. Do 02:00 w nocy dziewczyny z polski przygotowywaly napisy do filmu.

For non-polish people, it reads something like this (sory donť know polish): Today we started with breakfast as usual. At 8:30 we had a breakfast made by ladies Jirina and Eva. There was no warming up today, because we needed time to finish our film, so we started to work directly after the breakfast. We started to work on the scene, where Martina is hit by an axe. We needed many try-outs and around 12 o´clock we finished all filming. The news group had also many things to do, because they had been preparing a special issue. Editors edited everything as usual. We all had lot to do. Polish girsl have been working on movie titles until 2 o´clock in the night.

This news is actually about yesterday action. Design group got their first job, strictly speaking two jobs. Musicians and theatre people made an order for two posters for their shows. It will cost them of course.
And here are some work in progress snapshots when making musicians poster. They are future Vampires (wait for the poster and you will see really something), or better said Vampire girls.

We have had very comfortable life here for these 6 days. And it would’t be so nice here, if there were not very special people. They are called house people – housemaster, people from the kitchen, and people from the Begegnugscentrum – curly-headed Hans and office stuff. Some of us even don’t know they exist, they probably think, there are some house elfs here, who clean for us, take care of the house, prepare food and do many other important things, so we can freely create, what we like.

That’s why we, and I think I can speak for all of us, would like to thank them. At least this way. SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH that you took care of us.

DANKE SCHÖN DANKE SCHÖN DANKE SCHÖN DANKE SCHÖN, dass Sie sich für uns so schön gekümmert haben.

These are people who lead workshops, who show students how to do what, who inspire them and give them their best. THANKS, DANKE AND DÍKY.
