To waste no time at all, today in
ACROBATICS CLASS!!!!!
we did the following new things:
-Speed Stomach Cruncher (this was when one group of people were down in the doggy position while the rest of the class rapidly switched partners, then we rotated groups)
-Two Dogs Roll on Each Other--this is what I have affectionately named a balancing exercise I will honestly have a hard time explaining. Basically you start with one person in the doggy position on all fours, while their partner is in the same position on their back. Then they sort of roll over on top of each other until you're both in the crab walking position on top of each other (hips up), then you go back to the starting position. Make sense?
-Front roll into a headstand. It is exactly what it sounds like. Remember to do the headstand on your forehead with your head and hands in a triangle position. Much love.
-Roll on a table. Remember that one time we rolled on a block with a mat on it. Well, now we rolled on a table with a mat on it. Next, I think we'll roll on a metro bus.
Now, today in
MASK CLASS WITH OLE BREKKE!!!!!
We worked with the Latex Masks once again, like we did yesterday with Ruth.
First, we wore the masks in groups of five after picking costumes (and eventually getting into a family photo position, then finding a way to say goodbye to each person who you won't see for another 20 years and exit the stage).
Next, we worked with Passions and States. To quote Ole, "When a passion is pushed too far, it becomes this state."
Desire --> Shame
Pride --> Fear
Jealousy --> Waiting
Hunger --> Envy
Longing --> Despair
We were instructed to find a situation where all the characters would only feel one of two of these things in the pairs above. We saw: a Rock Concert (Desire --> Shame), a Jewelry Shop (Desire --> Shame), and a Restaurant (Hunger --> Envy).
Then, we had a meeting about the Mask Show we so desperately want to do in January. In the next post, you will find the notes for that meeting.
Sincerely,
This guy
