Tuesday lesson 5

this session was our last session before the day of the show, so this session we were just rehearsing and polishing things up, we started off the piece with doing misorgi and eating fruit while this was being done some people were allocated lines to explain what we were doing and why. next someone was explaining Samadhi and performed it by cleaning their teeth. after going through the opening a few times, our teacher was sure that we were ready, when we came back from our break we were told we were going to perform our whole piece to an audience, even though lines were just distributed we were still confident. this was our first time performing to an audience and I am proud to say that it went well, I felt that because we had an audience we got more into our piece and there was more of a group connection. our audience were very truthful when they gave back our feedback and said they found it very unusual but it was good at the same time and all that was crossing their minds was to join in because they said it looked fun. one said that it brought them back to their childhood when they were younger when we did the hokey cokey, they understood what we were exploring in our piece and found it very fascinating how we portrayed that by doing many different things. the only thing that we got as critisim is that at certain points i.e. when we are doing our tribal dancing we should involve the audience so they could join in on the fun and have a laugh with us  and by not involving them they felt disconnected. later on we spent the rest of the day working on the opening sequence, as a whole I thought the day was very productive and we were able to accomplish a lot and add on things to make our piece better.
