Today I had a field trip to MediaSet, the major television broadcasting company in Italy. There are six Italian channels--three public and three private. MediaSet controls the three public ones, and is owned by Berlusconi, the president of Italy. Berlusconi... hm. I will refrain from commenting at this time.
Anyway, my class got a tour of several studios and editing rooms. It was a blast--so interesting! In one studio, the cast of one show was practicing. We couldn't stay very long, but they were all dancing, and it was fun to see a little piece of the process. Also I want to dance. I have been craving swing with Joshua, salsa with my Dominican friends, tapping in WA musicals. Like "Singin' in the Rain." That tune's been going through my head quite a bit recently.
Tomorrow I am going to a concert with my friend Esmeralda, who studied at my home university, and at whose university I am now currently studying! What are the odds, huh? Actually, the performance is by two women who perform duets together--an Israeli Christian and a Palestinian Christian. I am excited to go experience that with Esmeralda.
That's the update! And this is the view of MediaSet from the street.
Sounds like a blast to be able to go into the studio like that! I'm happy you're putting pictures up on your blog now :) It makes it so much fun to read and visualize where you are!
