What I learned today: Physical Theatre day 1

Theatre can be anywhere, in the slums, in the ghetto, the royal palace... anywhere.
What I learned today was that people can have different views on what theatre can be and what goals they can achieve through theatre. Physical theatre however, is not about expressing your feelings and emotions through the script, but it's how you portray your emotions though the use of body movements.

These body movements can be thought of as something easier than what normal theatre is, but I don't think so. I think that physical theatre is a lot more harder than having theatre with lines because of the fact that you need to express words through your bodily motions, not through your mouth.

To be honest, I can't think of much to write about today's lesson, other than the fact that I had found out that drama class could just as well be the same thing as a P.E fitness class but I can tell you this. Whatever we had done today, made me feel closer to the whole class as a whole. I don't quite know why, but I just feel as though that small 20 minute activity had made us all closer in a way. Maybe it was just the fact that we had all stuck our sweaty disgusting feet into the middle of the room, or maybe it was because of the fact that we all looked absolutely ridiculous today, but whatever it was... it worked for me!
