Paucartambo

Description: this week we talked about Paucartambo performance and the PPP that we will be doing at the end of the year.

Analysis: We started the Paucartambo structure in order to make the performance, we started with a stimuli, as always, we did a mental map and tried to figure out a social problem as Felipe told us to start there, so we ended up with our problems and problems of the rest, we focused on the conflicts of the society, of our problems and of the problems of the rest. We needed to focus on something that the school will link to, so we decided of a conflict, that the students would take the school as their own, we were planning on play with this idea of "Yo" and "the others", so we visualize, 3 acts, for three days, the first day, the"yo" could be the teachers and the headmasters, that could be played by the Maqtas, these are supposed to create order, but they are the one that messes everything, so similar to this, the teachers and headmastes, that are supposed to create the order, create the chaos, they could shout, and make a lot of chaos. In the second day, the students could take the school, we didn't thought much of the characters, but i think that the students could be the Qollas, as they are funny, and entertaining. And on the third day, could be all organized by the students. This took us to the concept: from chaos to order, which made us thought of "Pachakuti", which is when everything is upside down, like the play we want to do, that the teachers that are supposed to make the order, make the chaos and the students make the order.

Connectors: We tried to choose everything thinking on the audience, we want to make a clear performance in order for them to understand, and to get entertained at the same time. Like our One act play, we wanted to entertained the audience, and for me that was our main achievement, "where we wanted to get", and we did as everyone enjoyed the one act play, so we want to do the same for the Paucartambo performance, but in this case we have lots of limits, as we already have the "characters" settle, we cannot add characters as that would be breaking one of the most important conventions. This also made me think about La Falsa criada, which we never understood which was its purpose? and where did it wanted to get?, we definitely don't want that to happen to any of our plays, therefore we need to have a clear concept and a target, in this case, to get very similar to Paucartambo, but to entertained everyone, and to make sure everyone understands.

Reflections: we need to make sure that we all have a same target, in order to focus and to get where we want to get, not like our one act play, that for us our target was to entertained where for Roberto was to develop a lot more our characters, which, we agreed on a beginning but then we forgot, and we develop to a certain extend, but still the play was well done, and everyone liked it, so do we really need to follow a target in order to make the play interesting? or we can do just like our one act play, which, we put effort, a lot of energy in the final performance, but out target was like all the plays target: to entertain, so do we really need to have another target? or is this just because the IB tell us to? Because we have prooven that we do not need to get where we wanted to get in order to make a good play, so then what is the point of triyng to get somewhere? if we already want just to entertain?
