Very progressive day today, we started off with some warm up games such as "the sunshine game", "hot and cold" and "heads up". We then played a trust game where we all had to close our eyes and memorize the person who stood in front of us by walking around the room to feel for them. This worked really well as we all kept our eyes shut and followed the rules making it very tricky but fun. It also showed that as a group we are comfortable with each other enough to play games like this without there being an loss of focus or any sort of restrictions.
We then came back and went into our groups for the songs, spoken word and dance. Everything is all coming together now and it is looking and sounding amazing which is very exciting as it was down to our team work and bonds we have made with each other.
We did an interesting activity which was filmed in different ways and locations on camera. This started off with finding a partner and letting them make 3 different shapes with the other person of the things they want in the future. This can be goals, dreams or even lifestyle changes. This was very interesting and everyone stayed focused and was very creative with how they portrayed the movement whether it was changing the levels, speed or the movement itself. It was quite difficult having to change the way the movement was when in the different locations and there was some loss of focus but in the end we ended up with a lot of good material on film!
The music in particular touched me today as the songs told a story (whether it be personal or not) of the different situations some younger people have to go through daily. It made me realise how people make their choices and why they make them, which is for many reasons. Mixing the rap and singing together was beautiful and it really gave a sense of equality and that there is not really a difference between us and them. The talent and potential is overwhelming and at first I didn't realise it would pan out like this!
