My comfort zone

Yesterday morning in place of the PEFA class the group was invited to be a part of a workshop about Under Milk Wood, a play by Dylan Thomas. I knew that I was going to be a part of this but I didn't expect the morning to be what it was. I thought that all of us would be sitting at tables reading out loud and discussing the play. However to surprise this Monday morning turned out to be a lot more interesting. My background is in theatre and I was so happy to discover that the whole class would be involved in playing out specific scenes from Under Milk Wood. This type of work was definitely not in some people's comfort zones but for me it was and I was extremely excited to utilize my background of learning. We even started out with some warm-up exercises before we got into the scenes. Exercises that developed character, concentration and focus, I was very glad we did that because doing warm-up is what I’m used to doing before starting the work.
I felt very at home and in my element and I was able to explore different characters. I've just graduated from my theatre program and since the end of April I haven't really done lots of theatrical type things because of preparation for this trip, so yesterday morning just felt so good to do something that I truly enjoy.

Goodbye for now.
