William is in the house!



1.The warming up

2. Laughing again , good thing we worked on it , for this laughing point inside of us (a wonderful place i'm sure! ) isn't that easy to reach for everyone , it takes a lot of "peeling" .

But this time it started more directly . We stood in line and, one after the other, we had to face the line of the rest of us and point each person out and start a growing laughter, quite a tensed position...I guess laughter was the key to it , at first on our own and then followed by all the group , the facong line. A good way of learning how to laugh for yourself and TO the others . Everyone can handle a good laugh !

3. Follow the leader : inspired by a leader, the group, still in a row , had to follow the leader through one imaginary walk around the room full of obstacles, one round each and several obstacles at each turn .

4. The sculpture and its sculptor: a sculptor had to sculpt a living sculpture and vice versa
5. The Arrival, a graphic novel by Shaun Tan, exercise 2

After our physical exercise, we setlled down and, following TT's saying, agreed to turn our good old acting place into another proportioned world exept for one person who waited outside while we found out about our new world, new language and new jobs. This was inspired by the main character from The Arrival,  who discovers a totally new world with new codes and a different language. When the person who was waiting outisde came back in he/she found out a whole new world , new looks on peoples' faces performing unusual activities , and new ways of reacting with a new freshly concepted language.
The aim of the person arriving in this new dimension was to get around, observe and eventually try to communicate his/her goal , which was either to find a job , or a hotel for the night .

Communication, adaption and understanding was the aim, and because of the lack of words, everything was based on body language, which needed a lot of listening (of unknown words) and interaction , understanding the others' presence.

5. Working on text

After having played with no solid written text, here we were armed with a few lines, there has been long silences ,trying to make those lines go somewhere.

We worked on the aim of each character.

Lots of confrontations and embrassment, shattering breaking ups and magical hooking ups.

And that's it for now!

Ps: No overdose of that sweet Home music , i guess we could have handled even more! :) (I heard you! TT says...)
