That Was Awesome -- Week Three Made Me Happy



Well well well! How the pendulum has swung! Last night was really great. 3 awesome people came out, and we worked our asses off.
They were each game as hell and threw themselves into everything we did; and let me tell you, they really made beautiful work out of every bit of it. Each of them spent at least one exercise working on stuff that is a challenge for him/her. Everyone stretched themselves, and everyone got into the flow of things and starting having stuff bubble up out of themselves whose origin they couldn't really identify.
Which is the main point of this class.
So Kudos!! To Ann, Athos, and Patrick. You guys did really, really good work yesterday.
And also left me really, really happy.


Stuff we did included:
Word smash, Thor-style
Phone tag
Open crossing
Emotion chairs
And a glorious hour of Raw Intervals

Notes I wrote included:
No real reason to do it
ah well, we're learning to teach
30s scene
Chinese takeout
cocktail cabinet
awe- can b + or -
jealous is not peevish
Nice!
Silence to be used
Filter - Apply it to multiple things
Allow it to ⇑⇓ in intensity
MAYBE NOT
Yay! Being oblique - nice
Neat! jovial-faced suspicion
Mathematics

eat! two-person scene of all asides
Crisper transitions
Falafels that's your right in the intervals

Intervals can go dark
No need ever be funny
+ NEW RULE whoever goes 1st gets to go again at the end
Able to twist OK!!! this does that to you now
Hand car -- in head at 28
3 towns so organic!
(right?)

Seriously, this class was frigging great last night. It was an awful lot like my fondest dreams of how this class can go.
You three, come back. And you who haven't come yet, or haven't made it back, come on out. The Thursday drop-in is getting better and better.

Your pal,
Geoff
