On the last day of the trip, we spent our day watching many plays. I started with a play called 300 Paintings. This show was a comedian recounting his experience with becoming an artist. The other group got to see Kafka’s Ape, a story about racism through the embodiment of an ape.

This morning, we did a workshop on Moment Making with the Tectonic Theater Project. In small groups we built theatrical moments using different elements of theater and shared with the group.

Day nine in Edinburgh was an exciting day at the Fringe. This was the first time I truly experienced the exhilaration and chaos of rushing from show to show; literally having to sprint to make it to our second show. We were given the opportunity to plan out our own days according to the type of shows we wanted to see.

It’s day eight of the Edinburgh GEO, and we are finally performing our show, Away Went the World for the first time at 10PM! Before the evening arrives, though, we still have a lot of show-watching to do.

Today was our day of sightseeing! We were up bright and early—9 AM—and hopped onto a tour bus to check out the beautiful Scottish countryside.

3:45 AM. Both of our alarms ring simultaneously. We open our eyes and look at each other. It's too early. But we know we have to get out of bed.

Hi guys, this is Chloe and Caiyu and we're reporting as the Scotland Theatre GEO group leaders today! 
 

Our group dived into a historical walking tour full of legends, serial killers, and ghost stories! Upon returning to campus, we optimized our time to have our first rehearsal session and full run-through since the school year ended.

Today we landed at 8 AM in SUNNY Edinburgh (that's not something people often say!) where we were greeted by our WorldStrides Blue Badge Guide. 

Hi everyone!
