Two of my students at my theater workshop in Ramallah. The Eshtar Theater does theater of the oppressed among other stuff. I am teaching kids 14-16 years old. They are each working on Mahmoud Darwish poems. Next Friday, a week from today we will share the poems with an audience. The performance will be an abstract movement piece drawn from mostly Viewpoint training that I've done at school. It has been challenging teaching a workshop where the material we are working on is in Arabic but I am very pleased with these students. We all recognize the universal language of imagination through the body and voice. Little by little, we explore the poetry as a group. 

Monday is my last day with Siraj in Beit Sahour. I will be living in Ramallah for the remainder of my workshop. After that, I have two weeks left. There is still so much I need to do for my documentary project. I have seen so much here. I'm not sure what the focus of my film should be any more. Theatre and Struggle? Palestinian Youth? I don't know. I feel restless. And overwhelmed. As usual. But all right.
