The First Class

So far, I have put off writing a response to last Thursday's class in the hopes of divine inspiration. Alas, no luck. But it is now Wednesday afternoon, so I had best type this up.

Drama, in general, has always been one of those forms of art of which I have a very shallow understanding but am quite curious about, so it was enjoyable to read the Viewpoints book. A lot of it required consulting earlier chapters to understand, but I related really well to the idea of jo-ha-kyu within music. The practice exercise was also enjoyable; not only did it give us the opportunity to fumblingly put what we learned into practice, it acted as an icebreaker for the group.

I thought it interesting how many of the students sought to convey a progression or growth of some sort, rather than a specific moment in time or space.
