Relax…

During drama class this week we were working on our scenes, and Lili and I progressively got better at breaking down and understanding the scene from Amadeus.  It’s really interesting how the exercise of breaking down each scene into mini-scenes with changing motivation applies to daily life.  People’s goals and motivations change so quickly from moment to moment and now when I’m in a room with people I just watch who listens to who and why.

One interesting thing happened during warmup though.  Florentina asked us to imagine that we were in our childhood bedroom lying in bed, and I became quite sleepy in real life.  It’s weird how imagining that you are tensed or relaxed can produce a similar physical state.  Maybe this is the way for me to get to sleep at night.
