This week is the first of 3 transition weeks. These were created to give us newbies a chance to adjust to the rigors of the farm team.
This week the theme is "where."
We spent more time doing and less time listening. This makes sense as we are putting what we learned in the 8 week course into practice.
We started out with a game called "Fuzzy Duck." One of the other students was first to mis-say this phrase, but I really took it and ran with it. It was the end of the game once I found 2 different ways to swear with this game. I figure I was well on my way to 4 different ways. I wonder if the game would be easier if you did the game with swear words to begin with, or would you revert to Ducky Fuzz?
We played a game of ball throwing with beach balls, ping pong balls, bowling balls, etc. All imaginary of course. I liked the ping pong ball. It seemed to allow for more creativity.
Next we played a game where we would act out part of a scene, adding 1 more object that the person before. This game I liked. You could find creative ways to interact with objects. I was faced with a furnace. The previous person dragged a bag into the scene and threw it into the furnace. The bag, burned beyond recognition. I interacted with the bag by trying to rescue it from the furnace, but unfortunately too late.
Then we played slowmo. An interesting game of commentary while 2 people go head to head in slow motion. I was one of the contestants and found it difficult to go very slow. A nice challenge.
Last game we played was "What are you doing?" A challenging game in a number of ways, especially when you have to use 3 given letters as the initals of your action. For instance, if the initials were GAP, I could say "Generating Airplane Parts."
I really like this week. Part of it was that there were just 8 of us. A nice small number and good for splitting up. The object exercises in the 8 week course were among my weakest. I felt much better about my abilities after this week. I am getting the hang of saying yes to everything, but having a harder time to remember that relationships are key. I am looking forward to next week.
