Thursday 15th November 2012

Today Josh and Megan did their seminar on Dream think speak, where they gave a brief history of what the company do, their shows and reviews of each performance, but they stated that whoever sees their performance they don't like them to discuss it outside of the theatre as they don't like people to know anything about what new audiences are to expect from their performances.

I really liked the practical side of the workshop as they based a lot of it on spacial awareness and how to use the space creatively. So the first exercise was to be blindfolded and try and find the bottle places somewhere in the room before the other participant who is also blindfolded with you. Having the outsiders look out for you, making sure you don't knock into anything.

Another exercise was we had to be blindfolded and walk to the wall and stop when we think that we are close to it, we each took it in turns to do this and then we had to guess who got where. I really liked this exercise and it really tests your impulses and awareness as you really have to focus on where you are and whether your going to hit the wall or not.

I really enjoyed the workshop and thought it was good to relate it to the company as best as they could but adding something new to it also.
