Interactive performances in The Bear Theatre

The Bear Educational Theatre is famous for its uniqueness and ability to amuse the audience. We have already seen a few performances in REDUTA, and frankly, we never got bored with them.

In February we saw two performances. My favourite ones: The History of England Part 1 and The History of England Part 2.

The Bear interactive theatre is unique for many reasons. I want to lay stress on two aspects. The shows are supported by lots of teaching materials. They are informative, provide lots of facts and  of course very professional as well. They also have ability to create genuine emotional reactions and motivate students to feel positive about learning the language.

During the performances students positively got involved, laughed and had a lot of fun.

In a nutshell, we learnt a lot and laughed a lot!

THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND PART 2

Titanic: The Exhibition

World exhibition TITANIC arrived in Prague!

As I am a his-story devotee I did not hesitate to see the exhibition Titanic immediately I had come to know about it.

Firstly, because the story of the legendary ill-fated ship Titanic is notoriously famous and secondly, cause the film Titanic, a fictional story of lovers who fall in love aboard, staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, was one of my favourite movies for a long time.

It was a truly incredible experience.

We saw hundreds of original artefacts parts of the ship's equipment, furniture, china and personal items of passengers rescued from the famous wreck. Felt the atmosphere of luxury of the period interiors with a perfect reconstruction of the cabins, engine rooms and could hear the noise of the engines.
Seeing all those, remind me of the movie Titanic. There was a place, the grand staircase, which is from the famous scene in the film where Jack meets up with Rose by the clock with spiralling stairs.

One exhibit also included an iceberg - it could be the one that sunk the Titanic...

We could even touch the fatal iceberg!

However, the best part of the exhibition was that as you entered, you were given a replica boarding pass of one of the actual passengers that was aboard the Titanic. Towards the end of the exhibition you could check on the wall where the names of the passengers were listed, whether you survived or not...

For all students from primary and first grade of secondary school the exhibition was pretty immersive with lots of details and touching stories about the people that would have been on the Titanic.

I have taken lots of photos, but you must see the exhibition with your own eyes!

I am just enclosing a promo photo sent by my daughter from the very first day of the exhibition. 
Guess which of the passengers is my daughter?
