School theatre „Bajlandia”
School theatre
„Bajlandia”
The school theatre started in school year
2006/2007. Students from different classes attend the meetings of the theatre
club. There are students aged from 7 to 16. The main task of the club is to
create performances. Actors learn how to use different techniques just like
puppets, glove puppets or puppets on their hands. Students perform not only in
our school but also in different places in Toruń and in our region. They
promote our school in the local community. Out school theatre takes part in
various competitions and it has a lot of achievements. A lot of times it got
first or second place among many school theatres from the region.
The activity of the theatre is not only
connected with performances.
We visit kindergartens in Torun to introduce the
topic of theatre to small children and make them more interested in that idea.
These are very nice meetings not only for the audience but also for the young
actors. We want young people to love theatre.

Customs and traditions in Poland -part 3. St Andrew’s Day (Andrzejki)
St Andrew’s Day (Andrzejki)
It
is a special day. On this day we celebrate a tradition of future telling,
especially for non married girls.
This
event, in Polish called Andrzejki, has been celebrated in Poland since the turn
of 16 and 17th centuries. The main purpose of Andrzejki celebrations is to
predict the future of an unmarried girl, especially her prospects of finding a
good relationship.
There
were many rituals and games associated with the celebration of Andrzejki.
One
of the typical just-for-fun activities said to show whom a girl will get
engaged to and marry is wax-pouring. That’s right! Each girl gets a turn
pouring a portion (perhaps about 1/4 cup) of molten bee or candle wax into a
basin of cold water. The wax may be heated until it melts in a metal dipper or
held over a stove or flame. Candles are typically used at functions and larger
gatherings. On contact with the cold water the wax immediately hardens into one
shape of another.
Either the shape itself or the shadow it casts when held up to a strong light
is said to predict matrimonial future. The shape may resemble someone’s head,
the first letter of a name or some other object associated with a particular
person. Traditionally the molten wax is poured in a thin stream through the eye
of large, old-fashion key which is said to unlock the future.
Another
Andrzejki game is the apple-peel toss. Each participating girl peels an apple
so the entire skin comes off in a single strand. If it breaks, she is
disqualified. She then flings the unbroken peel over her shoulder. The peel
often lands on the floor and assumes the shape of a letter which is said to
indicate the name of her future fiancé or husband. If the peel does not
resemble any recognizable letter, that means the peel-tosser will not get engaged for quite some time.
