Theatre is such a wonderful way of expression! My first contact was at 17, during my high school (Alberto Sampaio) in a small group that we called “Oficina de Teatro e Expressão Escrita”, directed by Prof. José Miguel Braga - now just Zé Miguel =) Since that time, theatre became a part of my life. We used to meet all wednesdays at 17pm to think, dream, write and perform. ~feeling nostalgic~ It is so nice to see that this group grew up so much that dividing it in many was a must. Now, they (still “we” =D) are 4 groups, each focused on a different target age and a total of more than 100 students. They’re called TAC (Teatro A Começar), TJV (Teatro Já Vai), OTA (Oficina de Teatro A) and LATA (Laboratório de Acção Teatral).
This photo was taken at a rehearsal of TAC - the youngest group - for their last performance of “A Obra Optimista” at Theatro Circo, and they’re still directed by José Miguel Braga. He was teaching techniques of communication between them and how to control the timings. It is a pleasure to assist to this rehearsals =)

Time for another lovely friend. One of these butterflies ♪ is Inês Pulido and she loves to paint! And to fly. Inês paints since… errr… I think she always painted :) and I love her work! It completely matches with her spirit: “always wearing a smile”! And the colors of her paintings can make me smile too - I just love everything and everyone who makes me smile =) life become so easier…
This photo was taken today, at her exhibition on Feira do Livro, in Braga and this is just one of more than 400 canvas she already painted! We’ve taken a lot of funny pictures today, but I’m sharing this one because it perfectly fits here (sorry for taking the colors away, but for the photo it was a must). Taken by me and post-processed by her cousin Mariana, who loves to draw but also coloring photos with her special touch. And she also loves to smile =)
p.s: don’t forget to listen to the music above, by my favorite musician ever! ;)
