Stage Combat: Worked on punches yesterday, started tumbling to get over everyone's fear of spinning and the ground (a healthy fear if you ask me). It surprises me the stuff I can make myself do. I didn't think I'd ever get used to running and doing jumping jacks and all that stuff every day but it's happening. I didn't think I'd be comfortable doing half the stuff I've done in this class, like running and jumping on a huge mat or tumbling across a room with everyone watching me or letting someone lay on top of me while rolling across a floor. And getting used to doing that stuff has made taking risks in other areas much much easier.
Movement: Strangely enough, I'm not as comfortable in movement. Maybe it's because there are so many people or the fact that there's a mirror and I have to actually watch myself do stuff or what but I have a harder time going all out in that class.
Going back to stage combat: I started working a little bit on my first project today and I'm jazzed. I'm doing it on the duel at the end of the Scarlet Pimpernel. I think I can answer all the questions about it, but I'm not quite sure how "why they fight" is different from "why do they continue to fight". Is "why they fight" the same as "why they start fighting"? That's kind of how I'm leaning right now. At any rate, it's gonna be great!
