Day 8...back to work.
We did our warm-up, minus the Premise series with Karen, then on to 1-7 energy play with Davis. Within the levels are things like heaviness, suspense, interest, direct/forward/linear thinking, excitement, and extremes.
Lunch and then presenting our trios. The assignment was to create 3 beginnings to our chosen Shakespeare play (ours is 12th Night), and have one iconic moment. Our themes: "If love is the food of life, play on." One had marshmallows, another had chips and a mariachi band. The last one had a ship and crabs, and our iconic moment was Michela sitting on my shoulders so it looks like her legs are super long, with the iconic cross-gartered yellow tights. It was a hoot.
Later we worked on our personal solo or group stuff (like Rene here).
I decided to try out the chair dance again, with Karen reading for me and holding space during the audience reactions. It was a great trial. We talked quite a bit about it when it was over, and Davis even got up and played with the chair to show examples. It was priceless. I have some much anticipated, new fodder and excitement for an updated version of the Chair dance. What a day.
