In the last few classes we have started focusing a bit more on the connection between the body and breathing, as well as exploring the voice and its boundaries by trying to say words at the same time as we made different sounds, this last one showed to be impressively tricky, because i couldnt imagine myself saying a sentence at the same time as i was emulating the sound of a car engine, i just couldnt find a reasonable method behind it, and apparently the only way to do it was by "just doing it". So that exercise was quite confusing. The exploration of the voice does seem very important in character creation, and i certainly agree, yet it is probably one of the toughest areas ive explored. When exploring the body i did feel more comfortable because its something we have worked with for such a long time, and one of the only limitations are imagination and physical capabilities, for some characters require high physical fitness, or flexibility. These exercises were useful towards not only our exploration of voice and body, but also towards our understanding about the connection between the two. Another exercise that i found interesting was the passing of an energy ball between two people which we had to keep in constant movement, because it was as if the enrgy controlled you and not the other way around, obviously if we go down to the core of how our mind works, we realize that what we are doing when moving the ball is to vaguely predict how it is going to move relative to its direction and force before it reaches you, and then just let it "flow", it was a really interesting exercise in terms of understanding what "energy" is and how it works on us. Overall it has been a mildly challenging week, which i sort of expected, and im looking forward to seeing what we do next.

To what extent is energy an abstract force which we channel through our bodies and not just our own interpretation of a flow of actions?
