During today’s theatre lesson we were trying to learn how to build consensus. This was done by exercises such as: creating a joined painting, combining our ideas to create a painting by adding elements one-by-one. When finished, in groups, we were meant to non-verbally showcase our paintings. One group had to guess which painting we were referring to by the other group’s setting or composition. We were trying to learn how to build consensus, which I would say went pretty well. This was done by non-verbally listening to each other, not distinguishing a particular leader or trying to outshine others. At the end of the lesson we were sharing our reflections on the lesson, as well as our feelings and observation.

Delve into the enchanting world of 'The Maker' as we indulge into a mesmerizing journey of creation and companionship in this short movie.
“The maker” is a stop-motion short movie created in 2012, which was directed by Christopher Kezelos and story collaborator Ziad Jamal, as well as produced by the production company Zealous Creatives. The movie has been available on YouTube since 2012, however I have only seen it 11 years later. The video has been watched by over 16 million people, and has earned multiple awards. The video is a preview of a book written by Christopher and Christine Kezelos. Which is described as: “THE MAGNUM OPUS is a very imaginative work of fiction with a world populated by a mix of odd creatures and absurd monsters that call to mind The Wizard of Oz.”- Zealous Creatives. This might also be an accurate description of the movie.
The whole video is staged in a dark, yet dimly room of some sort. The staging may be described as mysterious and peculiar. The short movie’s plot revolves around a perplexing rabbit-like creature with its’ teeth on display. During the duration of time set by an hourglass, the character is seemingly creating another version of itself, which seems to be a pattern of what they all do during their life.
The performance of the actors cannot be described, due to the fact that the characters are fictional and are portrayed by some sort of plush animals. The film is set in a dimly lit room, with the only illumination being a warm lamp of some sort. The classical music played on a violin, named “Winter” was composed by Paul Halley, and provides the setting and emotionally engages the viewer. The music composition changes its’ tone when the actions proceed and circumstances change. The production strikes one as beautifully done and well-thought through. It manages to rise one’s emotional intelligence. The performance of the puppets, although they were fake, was very believable. I, myself, did not think I could be touched by blatantly artificial puppets. Although none of the characters uttered a single word, their eyes and facial expression did an exquisite job at portraying their feelings and reactions. The stop-motion was done precisely, as if filmed in one go.
Our audience, although small, was definitely touched by the short film, especially by the ‘plot-twist’, or better yet the ending of the movie.
