Last day of Jim Bonnie.

Surprise, surprise! I did not know it was today, I don't think anybody did until the last few minutes we were told the sad news. Overall it was an amazing workshop, I feel more open and powerful from it, and I learned a lot about myself. It was nice getting in touch with our inner child and going into our body and hearts. I learned that I am happier with myself when I am not hiding under a mask, and that we should feel what we feel and should not be ashamed of our emotions. That is basically what I learned, it is actually harder to explain than I thought. I know I will use what I got from this for a very long time (by that I mean forever).

Ripping off masks.

Today in the 4th Jim Bonnie workshop we worked more into the idea of mask, the fake emotion we put out to hide our real emotions. I always had the idea of mask in mind since I watched this one anime called 'His & Her Circumstances', I watched it a long time ago but I remember it being about a girl who acted as the smart honor student in school, but at home she acted like a completely different, crazy girl, and then she finally met somebody she could open up to so the had a scene where her face is a mask and it falls off and cracks.

As for the Charlie Chaplin film, that would make my 2nd time watching a silent movie, so that was fun. I think you get more expression and feeling out of that movie than a movie with words, words ruin everything. I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the movie, but  I ended up really liking it.


Well, I'm kind of tired now, so I'll stop here, but have fun anybody going to Italy!
