have no clue what went on in class lol

Alright, well i have to say that i have absolutely NO idea what went on in class on Thursday, but its sure does sounds interesting. Im very upset that i missed it. SOunds like i have a lot of catching up to do. :( Hopefully we will do some fun exercised like the tug of war, and mirror thing that i read about from other peoples posts. I will see all you guys tomorrow, and i Hope you didnt forget about me :)

P.S. We went to the north and came back 2-0!

The tug of war exercise we did in class was very interesting. There were so many things that you had to watch out for. First you had to watch your partner and moved with him or her, then you had to pay attention to the height of the rope then there was the size of the rope .and you had to make sure that the rope didn’t get longer. And on top of all that you had to prove to the audience that there really was a rope there..CRAZY!!! lol… I found out that you really have to trust your partner and sometimes its hard when you really don’t know the person, but its comforting to know that they have no idea what really to do either so you just kinda go with the flow. And I still feel really bad about saying “that wasn’t very good” to that one group.. I am so sorry I was not thinking at all but if you knew me you would know that I don’t think that often lol ..right Kevin lol ..well I will see you guy Tuesday !!! hope you had a great weekend!!!!

Class

So I really enjoyed the last exercise that we did in class with one person starting out and others just joining in whenever they felt so inclined to join. I thought it was interesting how we could all start out doing one thing but then when one person joins in the entire scene can change but still work. Like when I started "doing my homework" others joined in doing the same thing but once someone came in and started walking around like a teacher it went from being a library typ setting to a classroom and it all worked together. I just found that to be the most interesting thing about that exercise.

Class

This class is much more fun that people had originally informed me. Its a pretty interesting shift going from speaking to present something (as is the norm for business presentations) to using whatever is around you to illustrate a scene. Its also cool to just pay attention to some things that are hard to pick up when you are moving through life at 100 mph.

Thursdays class

I thought the mirror exercise was really cool! I was pretty comfortable making eye contact with my partner but I can see how for some people that would be very nerve racking. The exercise forced us to really pay attention and work together with someone we might not even know very well. I think it's crazy how comfortable we all seem to be getting with each other so quickly! I'm curious to see what new things we will be doing in the future!

working together

First I want to say that I really enjoyed Thursday's class. It was fun to see people really working with and reacting to those around them. As a group, we are starting to become much more comfortable with each other. In the final exercise we did, people really started to be creative and mold what was going on into something bigger. From what I can tell, this should be a fun and interesting semester!

Acceptance

One thing that I have kind of noticed is people's acceptance of others. Every Tuesday and Thursday when I go to acting class everyone in there accepts everyone and works together. It seems that since that situation is away from the rest of the world's judgement that it is ok to converse and work with one another. You feel comfortable around those people on "stage" but as soon as we walk out eveyone is on their phones or going in their own directions. I've run into my classmates throughout campus and say hello but it seems to make some people uncomfortable, like I shouldn't be talking to them outside of the acting element. What makes it so difficult to treat someone the same no matter who is around or where you are at? I'm sure that I am just as guilty of passing judgement as the next person, but no one ever gave me that right to judge someone. If life were like the movies then the good guy would always get the girl, the bad guy always got what they deserved, and everything worked out to be happily ever after. That just sounds crazy and maybe even to mundame, but it would be a nice change of pace...
