Best Monday Class Ever!!!

Let me tell you, the best class happening a l'ecole de management is called Theatre and Body Language: Tools. I didn't know what to expect. I just signed up for the class because it sounded simple, interesting, and it has no final exam. I made the right decision. When I entered into the classroom about 10-15 minutes late, I saw lots of students and there were no desk!!!! Yes!!! That means that there must be a lack of lecture and written work. I was right.
The first exercise we did involved us introducing ourselves over and over again, but everytime was different. The first time, each student had to state his or her name and his or her country of origin. The second time, we all stood up in this massive circle and stated our names back to back, around the circle, and very quickly. The third  time, we were to take a deep breathe afterwards. The purpose of this exercise was for each of us to slow down and pay attention to our own body language as well as the others. I noticed that through the entire exercise, every time all eyes were on me, my smile was bright like the sun. This is what I told her when asked her about how we were feeling. She said that a smile could be a way to show happiness and joy but can also be a wall. In my case, I think it was a wall. Through out the entire class, when I was nervous, when I didn't know what was going on, or when felt strange and ridiculous, I put a smile on. At the end of class, I really began to think. The question came to me, " what are we expressing when we smile?" I could very well be a sign of emotion. Or " What are we hiding when we smile?" Hmm. I thought about the stories that I've heard about my mother's childhood and how it was an unimaginable hell. How many times did this little girl wear a smile and what was that smile really saying. Interestiing huh.
Last but not least, I must share the wierdest moment in this class. The instructor had the entire class to do a warm up. We were to be in movement starting from our toes to our fingers. We got to a point where we were to move our pelvis, nothing else but our pelvis. Can you imagine the awkwardness!  We were all grinding.
I feel like this is a class that will definately open me up. I feel that it will definately force me to be creative and just be my secret me. It's cool.
