To be or not to be?


The month of January for Cre8ive8 has definitely been the month of plays, dramas and acting :)
What we're on about is the 3rd English Drama Festival that was held on the 16th December 2006. This cheerful event took place at the Dramski theater in Skopje and featured 12 drama groups aged 9-20 who performed the plays they had written by themselves. And of course Cre8ive8 was present there with its members who performed their own plays in their own heads. It's much safer that way :) Haha ... the team enjoyed itself and managed to relax in the "young-ish" atmosphere floating all around. Just a couple of days ago the promo DVD of the festival was finished including all 12 plays and a short clip about the teacher's comments.

Aladdin in Chinatown :)



… All I want for Christmas is you… is what Mariah Carry would say. But if you ask Cre8ive8, they would definitely ask for another Pantomime. And if you ask why, you will certainly get the simplest answer. Because it was on of the most exciting, enjoyable, amusing, amazing, funny, interesting, puzzling, brilliant, thrilling, hilarious events we ever took part in. Aladdin in China, extremely positive people of all ages taking the challenge of acting, fascinating story, fascinated audience, great scene set up, and even greater back stage atmosphere is a short depiction of what was happening for more than 7200 seconds. And the eye of Cre8ive8 was there to film it all. We put the evidence of that amazing crime, which is considered to be a traditional English Christmas play, happening in Macedonia for second time this year, on 5 tapes, filmed from 3 different cameras. Thanks to the warm and friendly team, which was responsible for this play, we managed to make interviews with almost all of the actors, including the British Ambassador, and the director of the play. We also did what we always do, which is catching much juicy footage. No more words are needed, because the DVD we have produced tells more than 1000 words of what was happening during the Pantomime. So, hope you will have the creative chance to take a look at it.

SEE the FUTURE

Somewhere in the second week of December 2 little (or not so little :) Cre8ives were invited to work & document the 1st Regional Session of the European Youth Parliament for SEE ... SEE the Future. Vesna (Dzi :) and Alex were their names. But that was not all. Since in most stores when you buy 2 u get 1 plus .. on our biggest delight we had one C8 member joining us who's role this time was strictly EYP-ish.
That was Tamara and she was an Orga (- nizer - of course :) And so together this lovely trio, supporting each other, worked brilliantly together (whether we had problems or ran out of alchocol). Joking .. :) What we can say about the Session was that it was a very intensive and exausting event, on which people had a lot of fun but at the same time learned many things. If you are interested in how the Session looked like - the What Makes a Session link on their website should give u a good clue. We have to add that the parties were very good and that perhaps it wasn't as bad that sometimes we were feeling cold since it motivated us to go and mingle. We believe that C8 left a very good impression on this Session and left a very professional image behind with the people that attended it. Proof of this, lies in the Cumu article in which we were included and of course became famous again. Autogram signing is tomorrow :P Hehe .. anyhow ... a 5 min official clip was made of the event and finished about a week ago.
Hope u like it!

P.S> I'm afraid that this is the part when we'd have to mention the President of the Session Ms. Elena Stavrevska and thank her for the endless support, all those nights spent in laughter and of course the lovely gatherings were she threatened us that "We would be creating outside :)" if we didn't quiet down. It was Alex's fault :D

That's all amigos! Astaluego :)
