ESF NEWSPAPER Seite 4 Oliver! Emily Kenny (S6En), assistant director of Oliver!, talks exclusively with members of cast and crew to get the inside story on the production of this fantastic musical extravaganza. POV – Assistant Director: It was a great opportunity to be able to take on the role of assistant director for “Oliver!” after having been involved in several productions as an actor since S2. At first it was strange, because I suddenly found myself with a lot more power and responsibility: at rehearsals I could tell the actors who were watching to be quiet, and tell the actors on stage to speak louder. Being the assistant director was also very tiring because I had to attend every rehearsal, always remain alert and pay particular attention to the continuity of the scenes. I have known that I want to pursue a career in show business, as both an actor and a director, since I was 13, so having the chance to be the assistant director, and to explore another aspect of theatre was an invaluable experience that I will never forget. I have learned a great deal about directing, it has given me a fantastic insight into the details of how a production is put together, and has also increased my appreciation for how much work is really involved. Interviews: Miss O’Neill (director) What is the best and worst part about being the director? The worst part is worrying about whether I’ve forgotten anything important. The best part is seeing the change in the kids, and seeing them stand on the stage and achieve things they never thought they would at the beginning of the rehearsal process. How long have you been involved with projects like “Oliver!”? Many many years. Since I was about 14, which wasn’t very long ago, as everyone in the school knows! So I started when I was at school. My first project was a play with a boys’ school called The Beaux Stratagem by George Farquhar and I played Dorinda. What made you choose “Oliver!”? We chose “Oliver!” because it has lots of young people in it, it has great songs, and it’s based on a very good story by Charles Dickens. Herr Mohr (musical director) What is the best and worst part about being the musical director? The main reason why I love doing musicals is the teamwork between drama, arts and music, and the idea that the whole school is doing a big project together. The result is that students gain experiences which are valuable for many different subjects and which they will never forget in their lives. For musicians it's also important to listen and pay attention to anything that is going on in a show. They don't just sing and play the songs they have practiced but have to react quickly to sudden changes and have to concentrate and listen to the others permanently. Of course it's difficult to find common extra times to rehearse, and the music score is a work in progress: sometimes there are changes in the songs or new versions which cause irritation, lost copies (which is the worst part!), but I feel that the concentration and the enthusiasm everybody contributes can compensate for these problems. And the thrilling excitement before and in the show is also one of the best parts of being the musical director! How long have you been involved with projects like "Oliver!"? At the school I worked at before I came to the ESF I had done some musicals before, but the drama part was more or less improvised. For me working on musicals has gained a new dimension since “Little Shop of Horrors” in 2009 and “Grease” in 2011 because of the fantastic collaboration with Miss O'Neill and the actors. It made the musicals into what they are meant to be: a “Gesamtkunstwerk” as we say in German. What made you choose "Oliver!"? Last autumn I watched a school performance of “Oliver!” in Wiesbaden and I really enjoyed the great literary plot by Charles Dickens, the quality of the songs, and the fact that it is about people of the age of our students. The main topics of the musical (growing up, thinking independently, love, and seduction by others) are still up to date even if it is set in the 19th century. Shortly after I had watched the show, Miss O'Neill suggested to perform “Oliver!” and of course I was very happy with that choice. I also like the idea that the music has been written for a small orchestra (unfortunately we couldn't involve the whole orchestra) and not for a rock band. That was a new challenge for our school orchestra and me. The songs are attractive for the choir as well - like in most musicals there are a lot of English lyrics to be learned. Oliver (played by Felipe Gross) Have you ever been involved in something like this before? Yes, but not at this school. I was in Annie and I played Mr. Warbucks. What is your favourite and least favourite part of doing “Oliver!”? My favourite part is the singing, and what I like least is being hungry. Would you do something like this again? Maybe not next year, but maybe another year. I’m having fun but it’s hard to manage my homework and studying for tests. Charley (played by Oskar Kolkiewicz) Have you ever been involved in something like this before? Not something you had to audition for, only in primary school productions where the whole class was involved. What is your favourite and least favourite part of doing Oliver? My favourite part is meeting people and getting the feeling that you’re part of something. My least favourite part is learning the lines, but it’s still fun! Would you do something like this again? Yeah, definitely!
Queen‘s Day Becomes King‘s Day ESF NEWSPAPER NOWOMOWA Skompilować, zrobić save’a, zrestartować to veni vidi vici XXI wieku. 50 lat po wydaniu masterpiece’owego tłumczenia Mechanicznej Pomarańczy Roberta Stillera, jego wizja stała się ciałem: angielski ma feature w wypowiedziach każdego szanującego się pracownika dużego city lub skromnego użytkownika forum społecznościowego. “Userzy wszystkich krajów, łączcie się!” To nie język obcy, to polski. Biada tym kmieciom, którzy nadal posługują się obscenicznymi i plebejskimi słowami typu “punkt widzenia” (zamiast view) czy “ ś c i e ż k a dźwiękowa” (zamiast soundtrack)! To gorzej wpływa na image niż przestarzały software. Aby czytelnik nie zagubił się w t y m f e n o m e n i e lingwistycznym, poniżej zamieszczamy przydatny guidebook. Należy zawsze być in touch z najnowszymi update’ami - inaczej ryzykujemy feedback, który nie jest the best. Wtedy nawet najlepszy background nie pomoże: koniec z licznymi zaproszeniami na dinner party, a o ile się szybko nie zorientujesz, nawet brunche w sushibarze będziesz jadał sam. Podsumowując: pamiętajcie, że less is more, ale more is better, a w ogóle to nothing is impossible, więc bądźcie careful i best of luck. Nela Soszynska S5En Seite 5 On Tuesday, 30 April, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands abdicated after 33 years. In the morning, she signed the act of abdication in the Royal Palace on Dam Square, Amsterdam. Both the new king, Willem Alexander, and the new queen Maxima signed this act as well. Everyone was gathered outside to watch what happened in the palace on big screens. Afterwards the royal family went to the New Church, also on Dam Square, where King Willem Alexander’s inauguration was held. There were a lot of foreign quests; most were princes and princesses from other European countries, for instance Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Spain, or from the Middle East. In the evening, the new king and queen made a round trip through Amsterdam harbour and watched all kinds of artists performing on other boats or on the quay. Their three daughters were present the whole day. The eldest daughter is called Pincess Amalia, who is now 9 years old, and will succeed her father when she is older and become the next queen. The whole day was a celebration, the people felt gratitude for Queen Beatrix and were excited to have a new king and queen. Jeanne Brugman S5En "O homen é do tamanho do seu sonho..." Esta é uma das linhas mais famosas de Fernando Pessoa. Quem é Fernando Pessoa e por que é ele tão importante? Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa nasceu em Lisboa, no dia 13 de junho 1888 e faleceu emLisboa no dia 30 de novembro 1935, com 47 anos. Entre outras coisas, Pessoa foi sobretudo um poeta português, escritor e filósofo. Ele é considerado um dos Maiores poetas da Língua Portuguesa, e da Literatura Universal. O que é que faz com que Fernando Pessoa ofusce todos os outros escritores e poetas lusitanos? Em uma palavra; heterónimos. O conceito literário do heterónimo, foi inventado por ele. Heterónimo refere -se a um ou mais personagens imaginárias criada por um escritor, neste caso Pessoa, para escrever em diferentes estilos. Heterónimos diferem de pseudônimos, porque enquanto os pseudônimos são apenas nomes falsos, heterônimos são personagens que têm seus próprios supostos físicos, biografias e estilos de escrita. No caso de Pessoa, há pelo menos 70 heterónimos. Alguns deles são parentes ou conhecem uns aos outros, eles criticam etraduzem obras de cada um. No entanto os seus três principaisheterônimos são Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis e Álvaro deCampos. Os heterónimos também integravam Pessoa nas suas vidas, falavam com ele. Pessoa chamou isso de "o teatro de ser" ou "drama em gente". Mas conversa ndo não foi o suficiente, elesmexiam na vida social dele. Durante o único romance de Pessoa, Álvaro de Campos cheio de ciúmes, escreveu cartas para asenhora, e ela, gostando de este jogo, escrevia de volta! Isso levanta a questão, era um gênio literário ou simplesmente louco?Diante dos fatos, podemos concordar que o homem era um gênio literário, o primeiro a chegar a ideia de heterónimos. Inês Peres S5Ena Dornálaíochta Is è an dornàlaìochta an sport is fearr liom. Tá sé ar cheann de na spóirt is mó tóir ar fud an domhain. Thosaigh sé sna Cluichí Oilimpeacha sa Ghréig.
