Another interesting week of drama has rolled by. This week has caused a lot of laughter and a lot of hard thinking. The exercises we did this week were:

• The Paper Game
• Mimicking the other 
• Blind Walking

 In the paper game,we had to drag a piece of paper from head to toe only using body parts, playing this game we had to use a lot of concentration, cooperation and team work to get the task done properly. Of course, we took around 4-6 tries to get this done. But once we realised where we were having difficulties we managed to over come them, for example, we noticed that towards the end, the paper was being dropped so we switched people round and completed the task. We also had to imitate each others techniques. This game did have so excellent quotes!
 We also had to play a game where there was Person A and Person B. Person A had to act out something simple such as getting up and ready in the morning and B had to follow their exact moves. Being the person IMITATING, I found this a lot easier than (I think) my classmates. The only thing i found difficult was trying to guess their next move to make it more fluid and easier. I found following and using left when they used right easy because I am a dancer and have been having to follow and teachers every move for years. Being Person A was much more difficult as you had to make sure you were going slow enough to follow and were making your movements clear enough.
We then had to walk around the room with our eyes closed and be able to concentrate hard enough to sense things and people around the room. This was hard because naturally, you want to open your eyes and i was taking very hesitant steps. We then had to sync ourself to be able to start and stop at the exact same time, we managed to accomplish this around 5 times.


On Friday we wrote on big sheets some ideas about our devised pieces, ideas that jumped out at me and i would love to work with are:

• Block coloured costumes
• Ripped and stained costumes
• Veils
• Masked audience 
• Flickering lights
