Day 3

Activity 1: Fainting by numbers

The way I perceived this activity was about solidarity and always being aware of other people.

Activity 2: Minimum Surface Contact

This activity allowed the participants to be aware of their connection with Earth and how it felt to be touching the ground with different parts of their bodies.

Facilitation Debrief and concerns

The facilitators of the workshop touched upon different aspects of TO facilitation, such as the role of the Joker, how important are preparation to be able to improvise and the relevance of mental agility and creativity as a facilitator.

Activity 4: Follow your mother like a little penguin

Being aware and connected to the sound you belong.

Activity 5: Carnival in Rio  

To observe the participants doing this activity was very interesting. The way I interpreted it was about how crucial it is to be able to choose among so many options that we have in the external world the sound and movement which we as individuals connect with.

This was a really challenging for many participants.
