1st day of classes (Day 1)

Real short, just for reference. I'm really tired so it might not be coherent.

Movement: Wonderful teacher. So funny. Wants to bring back the word "bitchin'"
We did animal exercises exploring contra-vertical & vertical alignment, chopped down trees and were made to laugh by bears, ran in place for maybe 10 minutes while breathing 2 short breaths in & out... running in rhythm as a group & passing energy to those who need it. Got to know each other by sitting in a circle and talking. Did a few spinal exercises by following a dot making circles around your body. My thighs are feeling this class. I want to know this guy's life story.

Audition: Pretty cut & dry today, but I can tell it'll be demanding. Wrote our names with our butts to get to know each other, interviewed someone (by getting 5 interesting facts), came up with words that you think of about auditioning, found out how long 1.5 min is by standing in front of the class, discussed classifications of monologue (contrasting, etc), aaaand that's all I can think of.

Acting: I love this teacher, she is so relateable, laughable, and trusting. We played "duck duck goose" but with our names to get to know each other, did a kind-of Laura Middlestadt pat down (but not as detailed), sat in a circle of chairs and one chair was empty and one person was in the center of the cirlce... we worked from not using our hands, feet, bodies to block to just sitting in chairs. After a while we formed a technique and became UNSTOPPABLE this was really great in ensemble work. Love this class, only like 8 or 6 kids. We also did some trust excercises. We did the typical falling one and then stood in a circle holding hands while one person stood in the center with their eyes closed and spun until dizzy then ran (with eyes still closed). We were supposed to beep as the person got close to any obstacle that would interfere in their path and they'd know to turn away. Eventually, with out the center-spinner knowing, we spread out all around the room but still kept them safe. TRUST Y'ALL! I feel like we did other things but I honestly cannot remember
