Thoughts and Ideas
Musing
Courage and caution. We've heard the sayings "no guts no glory" and "better safe than sorry". When are you cautious and why? Fear? Safety? How do you deal with it? Where do you show courage and what leads you to it? Could a reaction to the isolation during the pandemic have affected these traits in yourself? Find a partner and explore the topics, the nuances, potential strengths and strategies for each.
Creative Experiment
With movement of your choice, use body language; gesture, dynamics, focus, breathing, all your senses, to react to a spot or object in the room. The spot you choose represents your place of fear, caution, or courage, or any other strong emotion you want to explore. Develop strategies and variations for each theme.
