I am a sophomore in high school. After I got my report card for the first semester, I felt that my English skill was too poor. So I joined the global camp which lasts for three days and two nights. My dream is to be a movie director and make various movies. I chose the theme as "Gamubeakui" which is a part of the Goryeo Dynasty's Performing arts. The reason for choosing theme the Performing arts of Goryeo Dynasty was to commemorate 1,100 years of the Goryeo's National foundation Day.
I knew a lot about modern performing arts. However, I knew very little about the performing arts of Goryeo. In addition, my group had first grade, Seoyoung and I, only two member. I and Saeyoung had to do what 7 or 10 people doing in the other groups. I did not know what to do and since I was the leader, I felt a lot of pressure. But I thought nothing would be solved if I keep worrying like that. So we divided the table of contents to find out how to describe "Gamubeakui " and did research on our respective fields. During the investigation, we helped each other whenever there was a difficult part. At first, I was worried that Se-young would be uncomfortable with me, her senior. However, as we were doing the data research and helping each other, I felt relieved and thankful because I felt that Saeyoung was not uncomfortable. With such cooperation, the work was progressing faster even though it was much less than the others. And as number of people was less, we felt more responsible and did our work harder.
I knew very little about Gamubeakui, but I knew many things from our research. First, I found out about the Palgwanhoe and the lantern festival, which served the Buddha and became an important state rite, the custom of various kinds of singing and dancing was formed during the Goryeo Dynasty. Second, I learnt that the biggest events of Goryeo's, two of the nine major holidays were lantern celebration held on the 15th of the first lunar month and Palgwanhoe that was held on the eleventh lunar month. Third, i discovered that Gamubeakui was divided into HyangakJungjae and Dangakjangjae. Here, HyangakJungjae is a korean traditional royal court performance of Goryeo Dynasty. And Dangakjangjae is a royal performance accompanied with chinese music.
The most interesting part was "Pogurak". Pogurak is a game of throwing a ball through a hole in the door. We decided to announce "Pogurak" with as a short play. I hope my friends and teachers would enjoy and laugh a lot. I think this global camp will help me later become a movie director and make or evaluate movies. Also, although it was a short period of time, I think my English listening skills has improved a little.
