My experience in the Storytelling

 “The show will start in five minutes,” I said while laughing and putting up the decorations to create the setting for a part of the story. I felt like a theater actor and the performance was about to start!!!

     I would describe my experience participating in the Storytelling as a different, fun, and interesting experience. First of all, I think it was a different experience because through the activity I got out of my daily routine and out of my comfort zone. Even though I had already participated in some storytelling performances at school, it was something I was not used to doing. However, as my mom told me "Sometimes it's good to get out of the routine and do something different." The truth is that participating in this activity helped me to de-stress and forget for a while the worries of final exams and academic work at the end of the semester. So, I enjoyed doing something different that involved creativity and ingenuity.

     Secondly, I definitely had a lot of fun planning and producing the story. Although we couldn't get together to record the story, it was quite entertaining to record it at my house since I had to look for different elements to create the scenery, arrange the space I was going to use, and look for the costume I was going to wear. Then, when recording, I tried to do (as best I could) the gestures, expressions, and movements that were mentioned in the story and although I don't think I will win the award for best actor of the year haha, at the end of the day, I had several fun moments during the process. For example, moments in which I forgot things, in which the wind moved the decoration, and in which my dogs and cats crossed in the scene and I had to cut and re-record the scene. So even if I had technical problems haha, I would like to repeat this experience without any doubt.

     Finally, the activity was quite interesting because most of the things that had to be done like rehearsing, practicing, creating the background, and dressing up as the character of the story aroused my attention and interest so I think that when we have all those elements we end up getting more involved. Also, because we had to edit a part of the story, I learned how to use an edition program (in a basic way of course) and I would say that it was also quite interesting to discover the effects, tools, and transitions in the program.

     In conclusion, it was a super cool experience, in which I could get out of the routine, laughed several times and learned new things. Thank you very much for giving us this experience in which we let our creativity fly, and in which we had very good moments. I will remember it in the future, thank you.♡
