Army Thread Thursday 25th July
Having just said that...:H ... Went and did the first of two workshops this morning for the performances at the SURGE festival this weekend. There was 4 of us to start with but after the very nice Spanish director gave a brief of what the project was, one guy (coincidently the very same guy who has written poems for the workshops/rehearsals i am doing on Sunday) just said sorry this isn;t what i thought it was, stood up and walked out :egad:
You ever meet someone and think/feel.. "hmmm.... why is it i'm not clicking with you?" Well i have it with this guy. But this is just between you and me ok?
So this morning we walked around Glasgow and found places to write stream-of-consciousness writing - so, 3 mins non-stop writing, under a table, in a train station, sitting in front of a busker, walking up and down the stairs in Superdry, sitting at a bus stop etc etc..., then we went back and for each of these places wrote the emotion down behind each stream-of-consiocusness writing. Then we chose the 3 most emotive emotions and wrote a sentence summing up what we had written about at those 3 places... then we had to write a story using those 3 sentences as the basis of it.
It was good. :k

. I also need to remember that I am slowly becoming more confident and seeing more lucidly than i was before. That even though i may not directly be dealing with stuff, I am no longer pretending issues are not there - or just forgetting about them. Between me then and me now - and perhaps even better, me in the future, there is little argument: one is clearly better than the other. I am actually making moves re work and being able to see things in the long term and how that works with me in the present. I can't say that changes are BECAUSE of being AF, but these changes are happening - slowly, but i can see them.
