This was definitely one of my less successful workshops, to put it mildly! But there are always silver linings, and failure can be both entertaining and enlightening. I certainly learned a lot, and after I’ve had some sleep, I’ll laugh a lot more.
The second Building bridges workshop. A little bit of ad-libbing yielded some fantastic results – check out the photos of the incredible free-form shapes the kids made during a physical improvisational session!
The first real Building Bridges workshop! Chaotic, tiring, but incredibly delightful – it consisted mostly of games (Fruit Bowl, Dog and the Bone, etc) but the children also worked together to make shapes like bicycles, aeroplanes, peacocks and elephants.
This week’s workshop was a wonderful closing session before Ramazan break, and includes relay games, Colombian Hypnosis, and making shapes in teams. I also had an incredible conversation on the way home with Nanthar – I understood about half of it, and recorded here are the bits I remember!
I’m finally making use of this blog’s video theme to bring you a poor-quality excerpt from this week’s workshop. Really should have shot it with my camera, not my phone, I guess!
