We often went to Sozo to an event they called, Tea Time . Many students & people in the community would come-out to Tea Time & enjoy playing games, speaking english, & relish in the yummy food SoZo would prepare. On this particular night, they asked us to host an evening of acting.
So, we did! This event took place on Wednesday Se,ptember 17–which was just over a month ago. Many of the students that came to Tea Time, signed-up for this work-shop.
The girl above was the translator for the night.
Our focus on hosting an Actors Work-Shop was comedy. We did skits & games that focused on just having fun w/acting & eachother. About 30 people showed up!
After playing a name game, where you had to say your name & act-out an animal that started with your first initial. For example, my name is Kira. “K” for “Kitten”. Then I would act like a Kitten. We also played, “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” & an improvization game. Before starting the games, we would demonastrate them & teach them how you play. After, we would have them take it over. We were so shocked at how good they all were! (Considering English was not there first language).
This is the patio view of where SoZo is located.
This hotel is right next-door. In the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, SoZo is a wonderful refuge for foreigners & Vietnamese people–especially students. They reach-out to the poorest of the poor, train them, love on them, & offer them a job @ the coffee-shop or help them get one somewhere else! It’s a great place that is doing great things! So glad we got to be apart of it =)
