Nik 13th October 2009.

Today was a bit of a weird day. Things didn't happen as they usually would. We spent 2 hours warming up!!!!!!! Nik couldn't believe it! Half the day had gone. We did some vocal and physical exercises first eg. Bubababa bubaba bubabbbbaaaaba, T, L, Sh, D (working on these sounds in the same way). Then we tested our physical ability by holding each other's hands and stretching as wide as we can (I am the one who is in a lot of pain. My legs are a bit bendy.) We also tested our physical ability by holding out our arms to either side.

After that we played 20 numbers (where we have to concerntrate as a group standing or lying down with our eyes closed. We then try to count to 20 without anyone saying any one number at the same time). This focusses on our focus as a group, our concerntration skills, our listening skills as well as trust.

We played what's commonly known as "Zip". We make a clap travel around the circle of us, but we have to remain focussed at all times otherwise we are out (well if we miss the clap when it is passed to us then we are out). After this we played "Wink Murder". This game was challenge to us all. Nik said we wern't dramatic enough (something we can all work on).

Later in the day I began thinking. how does Susanna Walcott feel when she's seen all these people hung? Does she wish that she didn't listen to Abigail? We then broke for lunch. Afterwards (when we came back) Nik Hot-Seated:

1. John Proctor (Sammy and Zee)
2. Parris (Aaron and Jay)
3. Tituba (Nuria)
4. Mary Warren (Lloyd and Rozanna)
5. Abigail (Nicole and Natalie)

It took a long process, but I got stuck into sewing my skirt (whilst paying attention in case any new information came up). I am known for multi-tasking well. We then had a discussion about how we are connected to each other and what we did together I.E dancing in the woods naked.
