In times of retrospect as such, I feel almost overwhelmed by the sheer amount of experiences I have had during the lull in blogging.
I know I have had nothing but cynicism and pessimism for the modules I take here at MICA, but the Transcreativity workshop we attended really blew me away.
The workshop was a potpourri of segments designed to make us step out of our comfort zones. I don't know about the others, but it was one hell of a liberating experience for me. I:
- watched and learnt the basic footwork for a traditional Indian dance
- watched a magic show and got some insider tricks
- had a session of karate in the sun and broke a brick tile (an awesomely empowering act I never thought I'd do)
- had a whale of a time acting and unleashing the drama-mama in me
- listened to the significance of dreams (not quite convinced but interesting nonetheless)
- had a spot-on palm reading session
- watched a puppet show and broke into an impromptu dance with the young puppeteer and my workshop mates
- did coloring with color pencils (very primary schoolish but very therapeutic, even for a non-artist like myself)
- attempted being hypnotized
- tried my hand at pottery
- was serenaded to in front of the class, as part of one of the guy's assignments
- hugged and branded everybody with colored-powder-palms
- spent the best six days of my life in MICA in the company of the nicest people I've met here so far
