Our final class for 2011 was full of merry making and sharing what the holidays mean to us. There's a game we play where we go around the circle, say our names with a quick movement, then everyone mirrors that movement back. We changed it this week to words and sounds that reminded us of the holiday season. Here's what I heard:
Santa, Winter Girl, Family, Berries, Marshmallows, Mrs. Santa, Presents, Candy Canes and Frizzle Frazzle, HoHoHo, Jingle Jingle, Weeeee!, Ahhhh!, Marshmallows (again), <undecipherable shrill of words expressing Glee>, and Forgiveness.
The kids' improvising skills get better and better and they surprise me every time. This week we found ourselves in the company of talking Menorahs and talking Christmas trees. They, the Menorahs and Trees, speak in their own language of course.
Happy Holidays to everyone! See you in January when I'll not only be blogging about the creations from the Improv Front but also sharing insights from our new class coming up: Writing and Performing Original Works. Until then...
Cheers!
Fleur
