A Summary of an Article I've chosen an article about European theatre to read about performances which we don't have in our city, such as Ivo van Hove's Kings of War which compresses three of Shakespeare's stories into one play and uses live projection, which I've read in article. There's also some new information that I found interesting about German dramaturgy, in particular Thomas Ostermeier's Richard III, which invented new sequences and works with microphones.  Reading an article with characteristics of the European theatre, I was matching it with my views about the contemporary theatre formed with performances I’ve watched in ”Old House”.

Refletion Note During our semester we’ve done many exercises and most of them were useful for the writing experience. Making summary of the article, we were forming our opinion on different themes, for example culture, sports, politics, health, so that we were training the skill of structuring our ideas. At the same time, it was interesting to create own stories with the help of plot generator. This way, we were developing the story based on generated characters. As for the other techniques, the essay plan wasn’t something new, but it was useful to repeat it as essay works are often required in different subjects. Next semester I would like to make reports on articles, to choose world actual themes which are often published in magazines. In our course there’s well-known newspaper which is called The Guardian.  In conclusion, I would like to say that working in the electronic blog is very comfortable unlike printing. The course was actually effective.
