Today were more general exercises so the group became more comfortable working with each other. Different pairs were formed and did the classic task of 'A moves, B mirrors', to help with improvising. We also did the task of walking around the room and stopping all at the same time and starting again, one that helps with both improv and ensemble skills. Personally, I felt that this particualr exercise did not be as effective as it has been in the past as, not naming names, but some people in the group were trying to lead the actions, pretty much defeating the point of the whole thing, but after a while it was getting there.
Also, we started the session by telling jokes. I don't think Griff liked mine as it was quite simply "Manchester United", and much to my surprise, Griff wasn't best pleased with the joke.
We did not focus on the syllabus too much this week, but with good reason. I felt that this session did help the group get used to working with each other and settled me in well to the class.
