1. I like how viewpoints kind of makes us step out of our comfort zone to learn how we can move and work together. The activities we did created such a sense of togetherness and I really enjoyed that. I wish I had been able to be in class for the second day of learning about viewpoints, I'm sure I would have got a lout out of it and had more to say about all of this.
2. I think the moment that felt most alive was when the group of us had to get in the diagonal line and we could not all see each other but a number of us had to be seated and standing at the same time. It's ironic since this was probably the most quiet moment we shared, yet I think it was the most alive. I could feel the energy and I could sense all of us working together in the silence and darkness once we closed our eyes, and somehow as an ensemble we were able to achieve what we set out to.
3. At times, the activities did seem a little forced, but I think it was all in my mind. For the most part I don't think it felt dead and forced. It is easy to lose focus on what we are doing and why we are doing so the second I was able to snap back into focus the activities seemed meaningful. It was easy to feel a little stupid jumping around or moving by body a certain way when people surrounded me all over the room. Many people like me are at least somewhat self conscious. But again, when you let go of that thought and allow yourself to fully grasp the thought of what we are learning with viewpoints the activities have a purpose and do not feel silly.
Good work!
