The group did an amazing job yesterday! My favorite part had to be when we were outside, and Jimmy "got hit" by the car.. in any other situation though, that just wouldn't be funny!! It could have been bad, since I read that it was never actually practiced before then.... :) (It was also that way with the graffiti artists up on the roof of the parking garage.. if I would have come across this at another time, it wouldn't have got the same reaction either.. but it was perfect in the context.) Good Job! In the same way that my group, the freeze group, was able to get the class a little out of their comfort zone, and do something they normally wouldn't, I enjoyed the play in 3 lines that we had to come up with. There was a competitive aspect added, that made it more enjoyable, and we didn't have much time to come up with it, so it made it exciting!
As I was walking across the street later that day, I thought the car coming was going to stop, but as I stepped out into the street, they DIDN'T.... and I had to leap back out of the way! I was so angry! It certainly WASN'T funny in that context, the same way it had been earlier... Its amazing how certain things can cause different reactions depending on how they are displayed. By this I mean, if they are displayed as entertainment, then we can find humor or excitement or horror in many things that otherwise wouldn't be funny, exciting or we would puke or not be able to watch in our everyday existence! I guess that is why the movie and entertainment industry makes so much money.. it is a way for us to go to places we normally wouldn't ever go, and be able to find different emotions in things we wouldn't otherwise!
Great Presentation!
