Viewpoints

I really enjoyed doing viewpoints. I mentioned this in the last post, but it challenged me to work with my classmates to achieve a certain goal. I liked the fact that i could go at my own pace at times. I did not need to move to slow or too fast, i just needed to have soft focus and pay attention to what my group members were doing. I feel like when we would walk around the space with music, everyone would come alive and create a character. I know at times i would be frantic, sad, or happy. These emotions would come from how other people's movements made me feel. It was just really awesome to play with that. I really liked when props were thrown in because they added a new element to the group. I was given a mask, and for some reason i really liked having it on. Looking back on it, I seemed like a scary character at first, but then it turned into trying to fit in with the rest of the group. The best part about that was that it was not planned. Like i said, i did that based on the reactions and movements of other people. I had an impulse to do certain things with the mask. Overall, I felt free in every part of viewpoints. I got to let go and connect with my classmates and it was fun. I felt alive and ready for anything that came my way. I guess that is what second circle feels like. I was constantly engaged and ready for possibility. It felt like stage presence, and it was a great feeling. At many times it put a smile on my face. I am glad i got to learn about viewpoints, and I will carry it over to other work that we do.
