I love Tuesday mornings. I have such much fun no matter what we do. Even the substance exercises which i dont get but think are silly. I do think that we all need to push ourselves more. ITs like some of use have closed ourselves from these activities. But wake up people! Its more fun when everyones into the exercises... so yea. Oh i am running out of things to write about in this blog... theres only so many times i can say i love acting for non majors... which i do. See you on tuesday! Hope you all had a good weekend and are ready for more silliness!

Oh remember that scripts need to be memorized by tuesday! dont forget.

Class

So I was thinking about the exercises that we do in class. To some it may be a very hard thing to go through just because of the abstract nature. For others, it is decently easy to do because they can focus themselves and think outside the box. I enjoy it, it gives me some time to center myself I guess?

Last class the movements just came pretty natural with the whole substance exercises. Paying attention to things to figure out where you are though is a little difficult. I could not tell what some of the things were that people put down so I guess I was at fault for keeping the items general as well. The two examples we did I just added or subsidized something already in the location. This kind of analyzation of consciously identifying what is around me actually has me noticing and realizing some things in front of me that I have never seen before.

weird

i have not a cluw what we were doin in class on tuesday but im sure there is a method behind the madness. im interested to see what we will be doing again today...scared, but interested. it was kinda neat to feel how i was really into myself when he was talking about relaxing ur body. hopefully we do that again today :)

Relaxed...

I felt so relaxed after Fabio talked us through our body. It was like after the tension left I could just focus on what I was doing instead of being concerned with my body.

When doing the exercise on tuesday, it felt a little strange because I actually did feel like I was moving through some sort of substance. I know that was the point of the exercise, but I guess it was one of the first times when I really convinced myself the substance/object was real. And sitting after doing the initial exercise felt funny...almost like I was floating or something. I don't think my body has ever been that relaxed! (I tend to be very tense...).

The substance activities were really unusual. They were hard in that the substance was anything you wanted it to be and it was hard to keep it consistent the whole time. Pulling the objects out of it was pretty easy though because I just kind of "saw" the substance and the object. i kinda want to know what exactly the purpose of these exercises are though since they seem kinda non inter-related a little bit.
