Today was our last day with red leap and it was quite an interesting session. The first thing that stood out to me the most was how we depicted images of emotions. We tried focusing on the feeling rather than the look, and creating a picture from that. I was able to develop my physicality and explore different aspects of a particular feeling or situation. I explored the emotions connected tow waiting, whether that was excitement of meeting someone, anxiety of bad news or just irritation that someone is late.
We also looked at a lot of sensory devices today. We had to create a piece pertaining to a stimulus, but only with sound. We had the audience close their eyes. We started by creating a rhythm with our feet which we set as the normal, we used whispers to give a sense of discomfort while also having someone yell to bring in some contrast and depict an internal chaos.
I also loved the last activity we did, in which we had created an image, had the audience open their eyes for a few seconds and then close them again to create another image. We had one of me leaning over a person and holding a frame, while Lucas held my feet up to show someone trying to take you away from your place of attachment.
