Third day of IB Theatre:

I had a lot of fun with the diverse exercises we did in class. I felt like we were starting to get rid of those self conscious barriers to just show the best of us. 
The ministry of silly walks made us step out of our comfort zone and be as silly as possible.  
The millipede was hard to manage and it caused a lot of laughs and embarrassment, yet a couple students managed to succeed in creating a millipede chain and walked on their hands across the class. 
The Slow motion walk was so tantalizing! I wanted to walk fast and farther but I knew I had to slow down and still move my legs as if in progress. It goes against our every will to have to slow down that much and I realized it requires a lot of control from the actor doing the exercise. 
I think what will be most interesting is thinking of an Invisible Theatre scene to act out in class and to watch the reactions of those around us. (:
