Silent Noise

Oh my freaking gosh! If you had to ask me, to label how I felt today during the Mime workshop, in one word, I would say ,... EXHAUSTING! Though that does sound a bit terrible, it wasn't at all how I expected.I thought it was going to be boring and unusual. I was right about the unusual part . My body felt unusual more than I did. Greg challenged us to going to the extent of our body movement capabilities, (that was the exhausting part). I loved it because since I love to act, the miming techniques show you how to over act things for the audience, especially facial expressions. The stretching of the face upward and downward , making silly faces, was the most comfortable thing throughout the workshop because I'm used to doing that all the time . While learning how to surround your self in a box and out of it. I thought of something Luke once drew, STAC "think out side the box ". In this picture STAC was literally out side of the box, I related this to the miming session because in miming you have to think beyond normality. When you do that, you end up standing in another box of imagination and that is exactly what STAC is full of . I had a very fun time today with Greg Goldstone, he challenged me to express silence of normality into the noise of imagination.
