On the 24th to the 26th January we went to London with the college. Even though I had explored london before I have never been to the Globe theatre before. During our stay we went to the National Telivision awards. This experience was a once in a life time experience as I knew I would never come here again. So not only was I excited about the new experience, but I was excited because it really opened up my mind about how the professional industry works. And not only that but how working hard really does pay off. Another outing we did during our visit was touring The Globe Theatre which was a real eye-opener, as I learnt about the historic background of the theatre.
In this we had a tour guide who guided us through each past life of the theatre. In this guided tour I really took away a lot of historic background such as when the performers were on stage they were never distracted by other people around the " Rounds" of the theatre, during this era I found out by the tour guide how they used to interact with the Actors upon stage and not only that but would jump on the stage and perform with them.
During this era people used to go to the Theatre purely to be noticed rather than to see the play in question.
And how rules in the era then are very different in modern day.
I took away from the tour guide in london that it was not till the mid 1990's that the theatre became more stricter as well as structed.
During the " Globe" visit I actually learnt more because I thought the information was useful the reason being is because I knew about theatre before-hand but not the actual " Historic" background.
I learnt by the Tour guide how the " Globe Roof" was burned down and so to prevent this again they never put another roof on the globe theatre. The actors during this era rather performed outside rather than indoors because I believe if this is true that the performers really wanted to capture the audiences from outside and get there views across.
