We had a great opportunity for footage with a two-part location shoot this week. Students interviewed members of Teatro de la Rosa's Teen Troupe, and were quickly impressed by their confidence and poise in front of the camera. The Teen Troupe's original monologues and improvised scenes were so captivating, the students asked to stay longer to continue watching the rehearsal.
The next day it was great to see the initially-shy students step up and express themselves during the Student Reflection taping. They took turns filming in pairs and being filmed; it was great to see them supporting each other as they spoke about what had been learned and accomplished during the residency.
