Croc Hunter

So in class I had to act as the croc hunter and I honeslty had no idea what to do. I thought it was fun trying to "hunt" a croc lol but i honestly just went in there with no care in my mind. I also thought it was very funny watching some of the others trying to act out their jobs. The hardest thing I think we have done so far was getting caught in something. I had no idea how to get caught in a soccer net. I have never really been caught in something and so it was really hard to get un stuck in something that was not there.

Exaggerated

I must be one of the few that actually felt extremely stupid exaggerating the scene. It felt weird trying to make things so obvious. Although it was funny watching others do it, I did not care for it that much.

I really thought the entangled exercise was actually fun. Although I am not sure how much I enjoyed the coral reef part of it, it was certainly quite interesting to try to think of what a person would do in that situational. It is hard to act like what you would do since it probably does not happen to 99.9% of people and I do not think I have ever seen it on television. Either way, I am looking forward to class tomorrow to see what others have to do.

Bus Stops and Spider Webs

I think class today was quite interesting. I really liked the over exaggerated bus stop activity. This allowed me to see that in some cases in class I was over-acting what I was doing without even trying. It helped me to see how ridiculas something looks when you are trying to show people what you are doing.
Also, the tangled exercise was interesting. I think each of these exercises helps me to use my imagination more. In order to be tangled in something you have to see it, and see it in detail. I'm looking forward to being tangled in something tomorrow.

Comfortable

I agree that being in groups make you feel more comfortable. I have never been one that likes all eyes on me. Even when we are all doing something different i still feel more comfortable (bus stop activities). Talking about the bus stop exercises these are my favorite. I really had a good time when we had to exaggerate and actually show what occupation we had. I think its interesting how there stereotypes for everything in life. Going back to the subject, even though i am starting to feel more comfortable in front of the class i still don't really like having to get up and do exercises by myself.

bus stop acting

I like attention (the good/positive kind of course) I enjoy being put on the spot and having people stare or rely on me. I enjoy stepping up to challenges of life; it motivates me to put my best foot forward. The growth from this class has been a benefit in the areas of how to be more alert of my movements, my imitations of people or objects, and being more aware of my environments. The area which I need to work on is trying not to think so much and just be gravey (going with the flow, no lumps or bumps smooth sailing). For example during class I had to act like an athlete at the bus stop, I tried hard not to think about what I was going to do, but I started to think about the different ways of being an athlete not like a boxer but it came out that way. peace with chicken grease.!!!

Feeling Comfortable

I feel like the majority of the class feels more comfortable when they are in groups and when they are exaggerating something. I know that this is true for me. When I am in a group I feel more comfortable because I know the attention is not all on me. This is especially true when one of the people in my group is doing something extremely entertaining...chances are no one is really even noticing what I am doing. Therefore, the pressure is off. However, when I am up there by myself, I know that the only place to look is at me and my actions. Also, when we did the activity at the bus stop where we exaggerated our character's actions, it was funny and the seriousness of it was lowered. Therefore, it seemed fairly easy for everyone to make a fool out of themselves because it seemed like more of a joke than actually acting. It is good to be pushed out of your comfort zone, however from observation, people would rather play it safe.
