On Tuesday, July 14, we started class by discussing meeting at the Cranberry Thistle on Wednesdays to listen to and critique the storytellers there during the second term in Advanced Storytelling.
We talked about being blog literate and everyone posting daily class meetings on the blog by taking turns by days.
We began class work doing floor work exercises--a type of yoga.We did an activity pretending we were imagined molecues in the room moving around each other to increase our space awareness.
We did balance walking, breath exercise, breathing and stretching, and walking exercises to ground and balance us on our feet.
We did laying down mind exercises imagining which parts of our stories that we had previously done could fit into the images of different colors, like creative thought problems to help us move into our stories more intensely.
We did overture excercises with connections of phases from story to story.
We also did various activities and mind exercises to massage or shape our stories better, such as playing with a stick and using phrases from each story, coming up with a different object or scene using the stick and a guessing game, finding moments of story impromptu, and again using colors to imagine something in our stories that matched that color called out by David.
It was a good day, and my mind was stretched and stimulated. I learned things I had never known or thought of pertaining to story, the mind, and the body before.
