Week Two

This week the group is bigger.

We look at Stories. Apart from Contact and non-contact improvisation, we begin to get to know more about one another.

We play World Map. We locate where we were:

1. This morning when we woke up
2. Where we were on the Millenium and
3. On our first day at school.

We play two true, one false, after we've spent time telling each other about our lives and, in particular, about school experiences.

From this, each of us takes it in turns to tell another story about ourselves at school. Tricks we played, trouble we got into with the teachers, accidents, embarrassments. Insects, horses, blood.

None of this is acted out. We just tell it sat in a chair.

Christian tells his in Italian. Anna in Ukrainian.

We note the energy involved. The delight of the storyteller. The delight in recalling. The delight of the telling.
