The main focus of the 3rd week of May was on practise of our russian cultural performances for the final show on the Day of russian culture on Monday 26th of May. This was a project that we were approached with by our local russian theatre JORIK. The aim was to gather some international people living in Rezekne and make them (us) perform something from russian culture. The initial idea was to have us learn some poems of russian authors and perform these poems in our native languages. However this has soon evolved and in the end our performance included a traditional russian group dance, short acts in russian, singing russian songs and of course, performing poems in both russian and several other languages.
And so we practised... Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (dance) AND Friday. Plus we added an extra rehearsal on Sunday just to be sure our acts are in TOP shape. We would have also rehearsed on Thursday but we decided to make a JACis team and take part in a KROKA orientation run around Rezekne organized by the local HEI Student Council. What a crazy idea, running all around Rezekne for almost 3 hours, performing tasks and all that in 30 Celzia temperatures.
Our Friday JORIK practise was however after work so before that we managed to spend a few sunny hours in the park, playing frisbee games, inventing some ourselves and a game or two of petanque. Friday was also a day when Prokop had a final English lesson with one of our regulars, Karina, who was to write a final English exam the following week and guess what... she got the best score from her school!
