Sooo, I just finished my first theatre "lesson". I skipped Mathematic Games Preparation just so I could attend it (such a sacrifice, huh?). When I got there I was almost sure I'd got it wrong, because everyone looked like they were on their fifth year, so I did the only logical thing and went into hiding. I mostly lurked around with an acquaintance of mine for a while, until the lesson begun. The director told us newbies a few things, complained for a good while about some guys leaving the group, and we had some pretty hilarious scenes.
Director: So let's see... You. I know you. You I know, you I know, you... Do I know you?
You1: nope
Director: Okay, so you I know, you I don't know...
You2: I've been here for three years!
A while later, we were asked to say our names, and the newbies should also tell if they had ever done theatre before
Director: You?
You1: [Name], and nope, never done anything before
Director: You?
You2: (same one as above) [Name]
Director: Ever done theatre before?
You2: *evil glare*
Then for some reason he left us with an hour still to go, and the older ones decided we would be playing bowling with giant rubber balls and people. Someone yelled that it was autogestione (basically when students do lessons by themselves). Someone else encouraged "Otello" (which happened to be You2) to catch all the balls thrown at him, and he did. Someone managed to hit me in the face. Then we newbies asked the veterans to play something for us, and the dialogue went more or less like "Yes, let us show the newbies something!" "What are we going to show them, we've lost half our crew! Are you gonna take all the male roles by yourself?" "Yes!" It was all very weird and funny.
