One Act Play Reflection 

          In the activity of the group play I was able to develop myself in many aspects. Among those aspects, one of the most importants was that I learned to work in a team and in synchronywith others, something very important that will help me a lot in the rest of the classes and during all my life. While acting, I improved in my development and my performance while speaking in front of a public. Also, during the process of preparing the script I stimulate my creativity, originality and fluency of ideas.

My work was about a group of friends who shared a residence. Each one of them came from a different country: Russia, México, and two from the United Stated, one ofe them white and the other african american. The group of friends were very passionate about video games and decided to buy the last game that had come out. After playing it one night, the game disappeared. Each of the friends began to blame each other for stealing it. Then, the discussion went to insults and used the prejudices of nationality to attack each other. After finishing the fight, they asked the lounge administrator and apparently he had found it. Finally, the friends apologized for having insulted and disrespected.

  My role in the play was of a young latino named Benjamin. The biggest discussions of my character was with JJ, the african american of the group. When the game was lost, Benjamin and JJ were so mad they both used issues of race and history.  Benjamin referred to JJ as a person of the "hood" because of his skin color and personality, and JJ used the dilemma of the Latin migration to the United States to attack Benjamin. Finally, the two asked for forgiveness for having prejudiced and doubted of the other. 

I really liked this activity and I would love to repeat it. It is something that breaks with the monotony of the day to day. I think that every professor should do dynamics like these in all classes, since in addition to stimulating student development, they make classes more entertaining. At the same time we learn, we are enjoying and having fun.
