Every day we warm ourselves by Fire,
Wash ourselves in Water,
Feel the Wind in our hair,
Walk upon the Earth. ~unknown
This two first rage of movement dymanics taught in class today were pretty fun. Using the 4 elements: earth, air, water and fire; we learnt how to find a physical core of a character.
Molding= earth
Floating= water
By molding you kind of overreact to things, you impose yourself, giving the impression of being dramatic and decided about what you do.
It fetl good when I molded; I wanted to be seen and "heard" (even though it was a silent exercise), like I was meaning what I was doing. I knew what I wanted and I was going for it.
The second movement "floating" was even cooler. You just have to stop caring too much, you are a feather floating in the sea, nobody cares, neither do you. I was picturing myself being high, feeling relaxed, too relaxed like to take something seriously. You don't know where you are going, whenever you will end up, I bet it'll be just fine.
I dont know why, when I floated, it made me happy, it put a smile on my face. Like, not caring makes people happy?, maybe, a lot of sad people suffer from drepression caused by stress.
When I feel overwhelmed about something (lately is about school and bills) I think of me being in class just floating.
Unfortunetaley not everybody know about this technique, I will tell them "come on people, RELAX! FORGET ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE, LETS JUST FLOAT! and the best thing is, you don't need to get wet...float your problems away!...haha
See, I am floating myself right now, even when I'm writing... just typing words... at some point I had to come back and mold, because mostly, I meant what I wrote....
