c'est la rentrée!

Dear Froggies,

With October comes Autumn, its dead leaves, its rain, work , the metro and...The Funny Jumpy Froggies Journey's in the English Acting!

After a trial lesson last week with many female Froggies and few male ones, the time of men's revenge has come! Indeed, last monday night, we counted four, yes! four men for seven froggettes. Lucky us...

The theme of the session was: discovering
and there were many things to discover indeed

1. discovering each other

We discovered a lot about each other during the trial session but there was still a lot to do; thus we discovered more about Alain and Jean-Luc, who were missing the first time and also about their capacity to lie: they had to talk about themselves, including three lies in their biography. Their hesitations, their body language...helped us (or not! they were quite good actually) finding out what was a lie or not.

After that, the traditional warming up with the circle, the warming of the body etc...

The next exercice helped memorizing the names, discovegrin the faces and the bodies of our future partners: we had to walk in the space and when we heard the clap, describe our neighbour, or give our names and laugh, or give our names and sing or cry.

We then came back in the circle and tested our memory with the game of one name/one action

2. discovering the space

We discovered space in many different ways: we managed to describe the main elements of the room with our eyes closed. Then we discovered the room eyes closed, touching the different elements of the space with our partner guiding us.

3. discovering the power of imagination

With the help of different sorts of music (jazz, African music from Mali, electronic music, funk), we created different types of places, some familiar (jazz club, concert, party) some more exotic (the desert) and imagined complete different places from the one we were actually in.



To sum up, a great group for a great teacher (hé!hé!)
For next week: choose a song that you will sing or play on a CD player.

Have a nice weekend!

Terrifying teacher
