I'm late, i'm late .... but i'm there!

Hi everybody !
I'm late but I'm there for our traditional summary.
I'll speak about our last lesson.

Well .... what did we do on last monday ?

  • First : exercises !

Note a new one in order to learn to feel each one in the group. Imagine :we are 10 in a circle. Everybody close their eyes then we count, one after another. If you say a number at the same time as someone else, the exercise fails. We counted till 69 !!! Good ! Amazing ! We are the best !

  • Second part : dead poets society ;-)

In the dark, everybody worked on their poem.

The essential things for all :

- Take your time

- Be careful of your voice

- Be careful of your body (legs,arms, eyes,look ...)

  • Third part : Chaplin meeting a woman

We worked in pair. But, be careful : women were men and men were women!

The exercise was to imitate the Chaplin way of "drague" (lol) with his stick and his hat !

It was a very difficult exercise because of a lot of signs and reactions to imitate and the importance of being "in phase"with you partner.

  • And I forgot something else : The jungle songs !

By group of three or four, create an environment like the jungle or a street, or whatever you want ... Then, on this environment all the others could imagine life there.

Good exercise for imagination !

Work for monday : learn your poem with Anna's advice !

THANKS! I can see Anna still has her problem with the sexual indentity. It's a kind of group therapy by projection I guess

thank you Gwenola, very good frenchlish :))

you forgot one or two exercises though:
1. the warming up: waking up the body, especially around the joints on our own body and on the body of our partner (mainly for the back!)
2. the sound effects: one peson had to mime a story while the other created all the sound effects of the character and/or the actions. It was quite creative and funny i must say!

Hellooooo.
I did not understand the counting exercise... What was that about?

Lo Maria

it's simple: someone in the groupe starts to count, 1, then someone else says 2, someone else 3, ad lib until two (or more) people talk at the same time. 69 is a very impressive number. Last year, we reached something like 25.
