Yo queria un poni... pero mi energia no era rosada

Wednesday we stayed for Kenzo's workshop.
We started as any normal roberto-stealed-from-grotowsky's exercise, sleeping (laying) on the floor and start to breathe and pretend (feel) the energy and how is runs through our body.
I don't mean it like that, but it is purely psicological. If you really want to feel the energy, you are going to feel it, even if it is not there. If you don't want to feel it, you won't. I know this is maybe not supposed how im to approach the energy feeling thing. But it is the only way. the only way to feel the energy flowing through your body is if you actually beleive it. Imagination is more powerful than facts, or so they say. your mind can make you believe that something that is not really there is actually there.

That is how i make it work, I just make myself believe it is actually happening. FEEL THE POWER.
like this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYxCrugJj_o
He showed me that if you really believe something, then it is possible... but only in your mind.

During the exercise, we were asked to choose a texture, a color, and other characteristics for our energy, mine was blue and water-like. yay :D

I already know my final question but im going to build towards it. When we stood up, we started walking around the space, and we had to choose and animal. I chose the ocean. But then, it transformed into a panther, a blue panther. a blue sneaky panther.
But I wonder if my animal was influenced highly by my energy texture and color, i guess it was...
it seems like it was.
I wonder what would had been Mikimoto's energy, and I also wonder if exploring Heisenberg could had been easier if I would had tried this approach.
Would it really help, when exploring a new character, to find a color and texture for your "energy" and build it from that? Or is it just an exercise with no practical use?

  1. Indeed, the energy will be there as long as you imagine that it is there. That is what theatre is all about.

    Your question was already almost answered in your entry...

    I'd rather you made reflections on the activities that we do as part of the course itself.
