10/20 & 10/22 Class notes/Reflection

On Monday, class to was moved to the Rowe building so we'd have more room to engage in exercises. First off, we were each given slips that told us what we had to perform. We then got in groups and had to act out what we had. My slip said I had to be a puppy that greets everyone in the room so I crawled around sniffing the classmates. It was pretty awkward and uncomfortable but it was quite fun. After that, the whole class had to dance from one side to the other. It was quite funny seeing everyone having to do this but like I said, it was still quite fun.

Wednesday was presentation day. Everyone got in their costumes and we had a photo shoot. It was really cool seeing everyone's costume and how they designed it. After the photo shoot, we were paired in random groups and had to act out for about one minute. My costume was a ninja so I was paired with a Balloon-armored samurai, an Indigenous girl with a hand-crafted spear, and another person I didn't know what her costume was honestly. Anyways, we had an impromptu showdown that was pretty well done. I really liked how every time the Balloon-armored samurai got hit, he'd pop one of his balloons. I thought that was pretty funny and clever. The remaining groups did a great job with their performances as well. They really showed interaction among each other and it flowed nicely.

My costume was a ninja. I chose to dress up as a ninja because it's something i've always enjoyed doing as a child. In addition, I guess it sort of fits my personality of being quiet and sly. Originally I wanted to have a light saber to make sounds but unfortunately I couldn't find one in time. I also wanted to have some sort of ninja stars dangling on my outfit but that didn't work out as well. Overall, I'm quite happy with my results and how well my group performed together. It was an enjoyable experience and a relief to do something else that is different for a change.
