Relatively sceptical about
going to a Cultural Exchanges event, I was pleasantly surprised at how
wrong I was when I went to The Meltdown Test.
It consisted of six
comical sketches, each of which unravelled within 10 minutes or so, reflecting
British life. It definitely lightened my crappy mood as I was able to
relate to the sketches and just laugh at how
silly the situations are that we find ourselves in, though in the
moment we can't apprehend how little they matter.
My favourite sketch
of the night was The Button by Lauren Bird. This had a young
girl questioning if she was fat or skinny as she struggled to fit
into some jeans. This in turn caused an argument between her and her boyfriend. The responses from the boyfriend, who was
trying to tiptoe around the topic, and the insecurity in the girl's mind
proved a realistic scenario and also a very comical one.
It was a brilliant night that I felt such a part of; the friendly and helpful staff/students definitely helped with that.
I guess you should not judge before you have experienced! I now cannot wait for the other events this week.
