Evaluation of working in the new theatre

Working on three side and What we have done today

I feel that it is very important to make sure your in the moment because since we were basically walking without looking at where we are going, It is important that we have full concentration.

The aim of the task was to help us preform to all three side, however I don't think at the start I really could do the task because my body was going one way whilst my brain wanted to go the same way, however I had to put my body to go the another way, therefore I believe that if your in the moment you will be able to do the task. 

I think the chants was a really good idea because It helped us to not only perform to one side but to help us perform to all three side while looking at one side. 

Also the exisce of pretending to hold a sword one way and a dagger one way, helped us to look one way but not put our whole body, that way you look one way and position your body another way, this helps you to perform to all three side at one time. 

Since I found it hard, this resulted into it helping me to get use to performing at 3 side of the stage. 

H/W:The Four States of Consciousness

The First State of Consciousness

The lowest level of consciousness is sleep, which is the state you enter at night when you doze off. In sleep, you are unconscious. Your body will respond to the stimuli of your dreams, but you are still in a passive state of existence. In fact, you are so passive that you often don’t even remember your dreams.

The Second State of Consciousness
The Third State of Consciousness
The Fourth State of Consciousness
What we have done today, Are the ideas effective? Are they theatrical? 

Upon waking from sleep, you enter into a slightly higher level of consciousness calledwaking sleep. This is still a form of sleep because even though you are physically awake,you are not present. When you are not present you are literally sleep walking through life because you can go through the motions of day to day living without engaging your soul, without being present, without being conscious of yourself. Hence, you are living on autopilot. People sometimes have a problem with me telling them they are on autopilot or sleep walking through life. However, it is easy to prove.

Have you ever driven somewhere only to arrive and wonder how you got there because you weren’t really paying attention to your driving? If you know how to type, do you type without having to think about where each letter is on the keyboard? Have you ever walked into a room or opened the refrigerator, only to forget what it was you were seeking? Have you ever acted like you were really listening to someone by nodding your head, however, you really were daydreaming or thinking of something or someone else? Do you have to think about how to tie your shoes? Or how to put on your clothes? Or ride a bike? All of these acts become automatic once you learn them and do them repetitively. As a result, you can perform them and be totally somewhere else in your mind. This is how you typically live most of your days. You go through the motions, but your mind, your ego, is occupied with other things. Hence, you are in waking sleep.

The next level of consciousness is a higher form of consciousness that occurs when you make the effort to be in the Present, the Eternal Now. This level is referred to as self-consciousness because you actually observe yourself. You become conscious of your Soul, your Being.

In the second state, waking sleep, we are ruled by the ego, and we see ourselves subjectively. In the third state, self-consciousness, we engage the soul and see ourselves objectively. This is typically a huge “wake-up call” for many because once you begin to observe yourself, you realize that you really do live most of your life in a state of sleep, ruled by the ego. The ego thrives in the second state of consciousness where it is king. However, it is constantly threatened of you becoming conscious of it. Consequently, the ego will put up an incredible fight to keep you from entering the third state. Self-consciousness is the death of the ego because at this level, you awaken to your true existence and see the ego for what it truly is―nothing but an illusion and the source of all your desire, pain and suffering.

It may sound odd, but observing yourself is not natural. It requires effort. Remember all the things I mentioned earlier that we do automatically? Now try observing yourself doing those activities.

The fourth state, and highest level of consciousness, is objective-consciousness. In this state, you become objective to the world. You see the Absolute Truth to All and Everything just as our Creator intended. You see everything in its true form, as distinct frequencies of vibrations of energy. There are multitudes of layers within this level, too. While this state of consciousness is within reach to everyone, achieving it and remaining there is quite rare. Typically, for one to enter into this realm, you have spent years of accumulated, hard work in the third state becoming conscious of yourself, living in a state of Presence.

We finished off the human pyramid and tried to make it safe for people to climb in. We have worked in unisent and performed to a rhythm of a beat, for example the Chinese dragon that we have turned into a tiger. 

Our ideas are very theatrical because we use our body's lots, to show objects, for example, pyramid, Tiger Dance and hunting for tigers at the start of our production. 

Some of our ideas are effective for example when we are going to make a tiger version of the chineness dragon. This is going to very effective towards our audience because little child love to see crazy exciting things, like what we have done with the tiger
