Today was amazing!!! My group is getting bigger and the men love it! I can definitely tell my energy level is key in maintaing a fun atmosphere and we hit the roof today. We laughed the whole two hours.
Once again we started with a sun salutation and three energy exersices called the Shakes and Energy Ball and zip zap zop. We kept the energy rolling with a game called Look Up Duded that allowed them to become aware of psychic que. We then did verbal warmups that allowed us to speak of our own character to get to know each other a little. It's always easier for them to perform when we're all aware of who each other is.
We broke the ice about performing by doing some characterization and scene work with a game called Freeze. Everyone was able to participate at their own will and everyone did and had a great time. We then did a theraputic exercise that allowed them to role play. With this role play the chose a partner and spoke to the other person as if it were themselves when they were young. Then their partner would repeat it back to them. This closed the group when everyone got a turn.
I have to say listening to some of these men benefitted me. There was one man in particular that I related with most and I walked away from that experience feeling as though I needed to hear that. Some of the other men got real deep and expressed how they needed it as well. One of the gentlemen wrote me a poem. This was a real good session:)
