Purposes and goals

This week we had a great discussion in terms of purposes and goals we wanted to achieve with the One Act play and all started because Roberto was upset that we all put in our blogs and reviews how great our play was without thinking on if we achieved what we wanted with it. To this was and what do you think we wanted to achieve? Its very simple, to me, everybody has a different perception of things and in this case achievements, goals and purposes. The fact is that even if you want to decide on a general achievement, still, people have different approaches to it and everybody has a different way of saying, yes i did it.
In my case for example and as i discussed in the class it was a matter of entertaining. What i like to see in a play is a fast response, stunning rhythm and a dash of dynamics and with this i think its all i need to have a great time in the theatre because with these 3 factors then the play has a faster pace and it stops being to dense even with a text based play as La falsa Criada is. Its simple when a play is fast and has a good response then you can stand any mistake, any problem with music or lighting and any problem that not working towards a character makes. In this years One Act Play that has the simple purpose of entertainement, we need then a dynamic play so that people can engage in a serious of jokes and situations that are comic to all. We had a intense argumentation in the way of explaining why is this the only way of theatre that entertains and is joyful to watch and what is more true than that. We cant take for granted that they all like theatre, im talking about the people that as me went to watch play that dont necesarilly suit their preferences but still they go because its aobligation and what a better surprise than to show a play that they  really liked.
The general comment from the play were that it was fantastic and it was a great show and everybody enjoyed the jokes, the situations but more than that they all said that we showed a lot of commitment and respnsable relation with the play and performance.
The discussion saterted because Roberto said that we didn't achieved what we wanted in the start and then the question in our mind was, and what did we wanted? Again in my opinion and i think this is what most of us thought, the idea was to let the school name high as always and reassure that the level our theater course has is better than the other schools but more than that to give the audience what the other One Act plays that my school has presented which is a great 20 minutes that i can really enjoy and then use as inspiration for a lot of reasoning and critical thinking.
What could be a goal and purpose then of a play such as La falsa Criada in which their director said that he didn't improve the stage and couldn't really care about the characterization of El Baron in the play because "it was too much work" as he said in an interview. Does he really care about theater and that people that pay 45-60 soles to watch a performance that couldn't frankly reach any of my expectations in what i look for in a professional play, I mean how can you possibly say it is too much work if for this "work" you are earning money, i mean what is the purpose of making a play in which you don't put the whole of your attention, its just a matter of passion and purpose that your play gives as much as you can give and how can someone like that be so called the "best director in Peru" come one who with that idea of achievement can possibly have such an acknowledgement.
