same day.
we had SO much fun today.
love the games
game #1
stand in a circle and one in the middle. middle person runs to a friend and says their name. they go in the middle. continue and play with 2 ppl in the middle. random but awesome.
game #2
standing in the same circle......we do the same thing, except run at a person saying something about them but if the thing is not true, then just stay.
game #3
sitting down now in a circle, person in the middle has to shout out at issue and if that issue is agreeable with u, then run up and change ur seat.
awesomeeeee
game #4
the piece of paper game. HAHA so lame. get on the piece of paper. step on. get off. step off. get off the carpet. step on the paper. in the end. when there was no paper. trym said. hey. lets jump. jen says: you should have just done that earlier.
us all =_= oh yea...
game #5
re-did the standing on specific body parts. this time one back and 2 hands. mark the victim. tilly and michelle riding on his legs. trym on his hands and i'm on trym. NICEEEE
game #6
THE ISSUE. we discuss an issue faced by all of us, create a tableau. at claps we create a series of tabelau's and then join the tableau's together. then she does something so awesome. she freezes us and taps on our shoulder and we have to do a monologue of our brain. its abit of rambling and trym is very random but.....wow, it really helps you get into character. I LIKE.
thats all. sweated so much. but it was a fun drama class :)
today during drama mr.moss does something cool too. the hand-crossing game. we sit close, and just follow the flow. twice claps mean reverse the direction, once is normal. then it was that awfully confusing game of "this is nick" "who?" game. i don't even wanna mention it....
lastly, we did tableau's of the relationship between our characters in our scene study. :D nyeh nyeh me and tilly did it rightttt!!! i locked my jaw and tensed my shoulders but i still had to show myself wanting to be near tilly because i needed a job from her!!! gahhhhh :D
liking drama more and more ;)

Forum theatre #2
same day. in the afternoon me and tilly got called back to present a little somethin somethin for the years 9 and 10 assembly tmr.
we got into groups. and worked on the issue of alcohol. and what are the issues? peer pressure? overuse of it? drinking behind parents back?
first we had to create a tableau from it.
then we created a sketch about it
the first groups was obvious.
peer pressure
and i like the way the girls under peer pressure tensed up their shoulders. looked very uncomfortable.
meeting time again tmr during lunch.

Forum Theatre workshop #1
250110
Dr. Jennifer Hartley.
Game #1:
the 1,2,3 game when there are two people i say 1, you say 2, i say 3, you say 1......in a loop, that sorta thing. next step. replace the numbers with random noises and actions. did this at TAPS. hmmmmmm
Game #2
follow the hand. something that i did with katharine in my contemporary dance workshop. All you do is, one guy follows the hand, and one guy leads with the hand. your face has to be a particular distance with the hand. Thats all. average game. Just got messed up when it was me + michelle + tilly doing it together.
Game #3
forming a picture with a word. She says a word, we discuss (supposedly) the image we form and make a tableau from it. Apparently it shows that we aren't really united in this game because we never got around to discussing any bits.
Game#4
carrying each other. We can only stand using the number of body parts she says. We got 2 hands 2 feet and it was soooo hard. I was on trym's back and we tried to ask mark to do a handstand so we carry his legs? NO. didn't work out. :P
Game #4
This game was so.....hahahah...weird. we have to have a piece of paper between us at our foreheads and drop it till it was caught between our ankles. Then we had to get it up again. the getting up part was difficult.
Game #5
Lined up in a row with a paper between each of us. had to move without dropping the paper.
Game #6
Lined up in a row doing game #2
Game #7
I LOVE THIS GAME! high ratings ding ding ding ding! each person has a number. walk random about the room. She calls out the number. The person in possession of the number has to drop dead. the others rescue. AWESOMEEEE
P/S: The games listed are in random order.
ok. so here is forum theatre and theatre of the oppressed. it uses a series of games to bring out the best in people. playing games to allow us to get more comfortable with each other and then bringing in scripts and stuff. Dr. Jennifer Hartley does this working with kids with AIDS, HIV, post war, refuge camps.....all good stuff. Its just quite a difficult sort of theatre.
