“Three Insights” (original Chinese below)

1. Pay attention and observe carefully.

This is not a new discovery. Every week, I am learning, and every scene is a specific practice. Often, my peers have already provided specific expressions of intent, and I need to look and feel carefully, preserving my precious curiosity to discover.

2. Take a bigger risk.

In the game of time travel, you can take more risks. For example, in one scene, we were playing in a cave, and when time rewound, Shawn said we could dig a hole, which I found very interesting. At the same time, I enjoy learning how to manipulate time, using space, time, lighting, and music.

3. Rhythm.

We played a fun rhythm game where we can pause when everyone is in sync and then return to the rhythm.

In a restaurant, two puppet shows can take place simultaneously. The waiter is the director; wherever he is, there is sound, while on the other side, there is only visuals without sound. The contrast between the two sides makes it very visually appealing.

This week, I also volunteered as a lighting technician for a children’s play. When looking at the play from a broader perspective, it feels like rhythm. Beginning, development, climax, and resolution – all have a rhythm.

This week, I returned to class with great enthusiasm, but I felt stuck, just like writing this text with Chinese and English mixed together. My body is still stiff, my emotions are too calm, and my language is okay but lacks storytelling. I tried to take bigger actions, but during chair exercises, I found that loud noises or intense emotions without a proper setup would startle my partner, just like scaring children when I play with them.

I know that what I need is more practice, so I am not discouraged. The specific action I’m taking is to heed my peers’ advice and stop smiling.

I need more bodily expressions, or maybe I should start dancing and singing.”

三个启发

1. Pay attention认真观察

这不是什么新的发现，每周我都在学习，每一幕都是具体的练习，同伴很多时候已经给出了具体的表达意图，我需要仔细看和感受，保有珍贵的好奇心去发现。

2 Take a bigger risk

在时光穿梭游戏中，可以做更多的冒险，比如有一幕我们演山洞，时光倒回Shawn说可以看挖洞，我觉得很有意思。同时我很喜欢学习如何进行时光转换，利用空间，时间，灯光和音乐。

3. 节奏

我们玩了一个好玩的节奏游戏，当大家都适应的时候就可以留白，在回归节奏。

一个餐厅里可以有两木戏同时进行，服务员就是导演，他在哪一边，哪一边就有声音，另一遍只有图像没有声音，这种戏两边的对比很具有观赏性。

这周我也去儿童剧做灯光志愿者，当在更大的视角看剧的时候，感觉就是节奏。起承转合，有节奏。

这周我抱着巨大的热情回归上课，但是感觉到被卡住，就像写这个文字，中英文混在一起。我的身体还在僵硬，情绪太过冷静，语言还凑合但是缺乏故事性。我试图冒险做更大的动作，但是在椅子练习中发现，没有铺垫的大声或者大情绪会吓着搭档，我经常逗小孩玩，也是这样的， 吓着孩子。

我知道我需要做的唯有更多的练习，所以我也并不气馁。具体的行动是我听从同伴的建议，停止微笑。

更多的肢体表达，或者应该开始跳舞和歌唱。
