His curiosity led Jannik White, adventure-diversity-youth crew, behind the scenes of the performance of the theater group of the Erasmus-Widmann-Gymnasium and a conversation with a participant.
by Jannik spontaneity out of this conversation was an interview with Asli Aksoy for this blog. He was curious about their experience with Tina Koball, drama teacher and director of this group.

The samples and working with the head of the Drama Group at the University Centre West and drama teacher Tina Koball
When your AG has started to practice and rehearse?
Overall, we have completed 26 samples. They have during the week the school held every Wednesday.
How was working with Tina?
It was something completely new for me to work with Tina. I have been in front of the theater group, but as Tina guided us for the first time now, for me it was something totally different. Tina has gone as far more "detail", everything should just be very beautiful or perfectly
you smiles and says.: I would call almost a perfectionist. Anders was also that it has challenged us a lot more.
At first I found the exercises that we did before we rehearsed the play, childish, but I told myself that it would probably make sense.
it has been great.
What have you noticed problems during your AG?
I think a problem was that while the sample just a student, or have folded. So must all be rescheduled again and again what we have, of course, cost some time.
Another problem that occurred near the end of the AG was that we started I think the text for the piece too late to learn. I also thought it was stupid that we rehearse only four times on the stage in the auditorium.
found what you mad on the samples?
was very great, I want all of us, that is, all AG-participants have grown together as a great group. Another issue that has pretty much made during the meetings fun. I am very glad to be there.
thoughts and feelings before and after the performance
feel you up before the show?
I'm still pretty relaxed, but I still feel the butterflies in your stomach already.
Do you have any fears or concerns that something could go wrong?
No, I think that everything is great, because we prepare so good. Of course, I am really looking and can not wait to go on stage.
was it like for you at the show, what went well? What is not so good?
I found that everything is super went well. Really great, I found that we could all play for the first time so well the feelings. I'm really proud of us, especially to Jenny, who has stepped in as a different girl could not continue playing, because they had injured backstage.
At first I was quite loose, but when I stood right on stage, I really get heart palpitations, but then he placed well again.
"(D) A Midsummer Night's Dream" was performed by the theater group of the lower level of the Erasmus Widmann Gymnasium twice in the auditorium of the Education Center West in Schwäbisch Hall. The interview took place on opening night (June 16, 2010).
