Flashlight

On May 2nd, my group performed a story of Julio, from the book Underground America: Narratives of Undocumented Lives edited by Peter Orner.

On May 18th, my class will combine our performances to create one long performance with our improved performance opening the piece. I will discuss how it was like working with a group,…

large variety of activities meant to strengthen yourself and your ability to work and understand others. We did activities that could range from breaking boards, to hiking a trail we had only been on once before in the middle of the night with no flashlights. These activities were structured around tasks that were done during the day, such as using a map and compass to get from point A to point B with nothing but our partners. The whole week was structured to build up our confidence, ending in…

I have always been waiting for this day. It gave me the anticipation as I saw the city I’m in, listed in the tour schedule. I cannot contain my excitement as I bought my ticket. I even bought an outfit I was going to wear for this very special day. It was such an experience from the moment we arrived at the event, during, and until it was over. The combination of this phenomenal band, the massiveness of the stadium, and the sense of community in the audience was definitely an unforgettable…

For this assignment, I decided to analyze Lisa Rowe. While I was taking notes I noticed that Lisa was very loud and obnoxious with everyone she encountered. She was always in everyone else’s business and invading their space. When she first entered the scene for the first time, the girls in the ward were happy to see her. Her body language also gave off that she has been there before. She was always very rude and hostile towards the other girls, but sometimes let her cordial personality show. It…
