Drama workshop, day three
Today drama workshop members practised their tomorrow’s show. They made lines and sharpened the dances and footsteps. A bit of excitement could be sensed in the air. Tomorrow it is the time to show what they have learned and most of all they are having their chance to tell their important message to people: Break the silence! Sharon* is ready to tell her story!

Music workshop, day three
Monday’s practices started in Stadia at 9 am. During the weekend one participant had to leave back to Sweden, so now it was time to choose the instruments again. Fortunately it happened naturally, because many of the participants had chosen their instrument earlier and wanted to keep on working with it. After this small erruption the group started to go through the performance song by song. One participant (Jana from Chech Republic) was not there on the morning, so the possible lyrics were missing still.
All the members of the group were looking quite tired today. And Rebeka from Hungary said it all in one sentence: “ Oh, it’s too early to concentrate.”
Of course after some time the group woke up. Here are some pictures where you can see that hands are working and making music full of joy!

Radio workshop, day 3
After weekend the team in radio workshop continued working in the facilities of near radio KSL, which is a part of Helsinki Community Radio Lähiradio. Members of the workshop started to edit interviews, reports etc. hoping to get them ready. Most of the team didn't have any experience on radiowork, but editing went on quite easily and the atmosphere was still enthusiastic. By tomorrow the group hopes to be ready with one 30 minutes radioprogram. You will hear it in Gloria Cultural Arena where also the other workshops are presenting their work.

Radio workshop, day 2, some comments
Monika and Milja are members of the Plan Finland´s Children´s board which main goal is to influence on the realization of children´s rights by informing them in developing countries.Girls want to make changes by positive action.
They are pretty excited about the abilities they´re learning in the radio workshop:
"Radio as a means of communication can be very efficient. We started a bit slow but now it's rolling better and we have got more excited about it."

Radio workshop, day 2
Second day of radio workshop started full of power from the very first moment. Purpose of day was to collect as much material in to minidisk as possible. Material will be edited later. The plan is to make a 30 minute radio program that will be presented in culture center Gloria next Tuesday. Here is some photos and videos of our second day.
Music workshop, day two
Day two started with piano triads. The participants played in pairs and tried to create new songs. Finally pairs created quite sad melodies, but when the group used some improvisation these small melodies started to work!
Everyone is concentrating!
Jens and Viliina are playing together.
Ida and Maiju are listening to Aleksi.
Geoffrey is observing.
The melodies have born!
Rebeka is drumming.
Jana was telling some feelings on the break:
"We are composing in the music workshop our own music through which we want to influence others and most of all express our feelings. I'm really enjoying!"
"I think that education and information are the first steps to present HIV and this project is very well and worthy for that purpose."
So now the music group has couple of melodies and rhytms. The lyrics for the melodies are coming later.
In the afternoon music group worked with drama group. Together they made the first part of the performance.

Drama workshop, day two
Drama workshop is on fire! Watch introduction of group members on the video below.
One task was to cover eyes with a piece of fabric and walk around the room. Everytime they accidently hit each other they had to act like they were frightened.
Another task was to play with rakes. When the play began they were not yet sure what was it's purpose. During the play they found out they were working with Sharon's anger towards her infection. (Sharon is the girl the group created yesterday).
Jessica Tuma, Elsabet Mengesha, Tracy Marega, Wiivi Lehto and Johanna Lillqvist experienced and expressed various kind of emotions related to Hiv themes. They improvised and focused on how to express anger, fear, suffering, surprised etc.
During the day these plays started to form the final performance, the story of Sharon. A lot is still to be done before Tuesday but if something can be read from the workshop leader Ulla Tarvainen's smiling face it is that these girls can do it! Go girls!
