Today's experience with Mark Hill has been nothing short of amazing, and I cannot express my gratitude to you enough, Mrs. Moon, for making this happen. Although today's lesson was mostly conversational in nature, it was still artistically enlightening. I have to say that the rule of violent articulation was one I took to immediately - I am prone to using superfluous words in my speech and writing, so it is a concept that seemed to relate to me. I actually felt quite 'put on the spot' when my turn came to introduce myself, but once it passed, it was interesting to see how other people answered the same questions so differently.
As for what I learned today, I feel that Butou Theater is a practice that seeks to test and rise above the physical limitations of an actor. Today, it occurred to me that many things that we consider 'physical limitations' are actually reluctance of the mind or a mental obstacle to overcome rather than a physical one.
Once you accept that and free your mind, new possibilities open for your body as well.
I have so much more to say, but I am simply too tired tonight. I will have to retire for the week XD
G'night everybody.
