rehearsal

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 =)
