Stac adventures.

When Luke told our class that we were going to go on a trip I guess you can say I overthought the whole idea of field trips. I never went on a Stac trip and I've heard stories of what they were like but I was left with my imagination to plan out how that day was going to go. When it finally happened and we were standing at Mineola station waiting for the LIRR to Penn station I could already tell it was going to be a good day from the energy and excitement everyone was expressing. When we arrived at Neue Gallery the outside of the building was very unique because of the architectural structure and design. As we were going up the stairs I had a dumb moment and tried to take a picture of the big Egon Schiele picture hanging on the wall as you're going up the stairs and was scolded by one of the men that worked there. I really enjoyed the whole Neue experience because I really saw all the emotion and passion Egon Schiele puts into his sketches and how sexual and how casual the female body was used at the time. One piece that I was captivated by was the painting by Gustav Klimt with the lady in the gold dress. I was starring at it for a good 20 mins trying to notice everything I could about it, it was truly beautiful. When we went to the MET I really liked everything I saw especially the instrument section that I never noticed before until that trip and it really intrigued me because I love music and seeing all those instruments blew my mind. Then after that we were told we can roam the city until 7:00 which was when we needed to meet for the play "The curious incident of the dog in the night time." I lost my group so I attached myself to a friendly group and we all went to a really good Peruvian restaurant called Pio Pio. After a few hours of wandering we all met up with Luke to see the play. As I was walking in I noticed that the theatre looked very old and sort of classical ish. The set compared to the whole theatre was a big throw off because the set looked very modern and very futuristic and the theatre looked fairly old. The play overall was phenomenal I loved the minimal amount of props and movements of sets needed to make the play happen because it was so simple! It was a box that morphed to make the scenes happen and it made the play so much better. Overall the day was amazing and the play made it that much better. I look forward to a years worth of amazing plays with amazing people.
