In my space there is space
For games and improvisation
For trying the impossible and making it seem possible.
Play is important
It frees your mind
It bends those rules
That curtail and hinder progress
The ones you have implanted in your mind.
One day you discover a new world
A new view on what happens
And you wonder why it never occurred before
And why the quiet boy is suddenly interesting
And why you can now approach anyone
And ask those questions you once shied away from.
Years later you realise that it was in here
That those skills you now treasure
Were initially formed
And you’re happy now,
And pleased
You walked through that door, all those years ago.

Very good feel of absurdism
Thank you Anja, I think……hmmm……absurdism is a lot of fun and is a bit all over the place, that’s why it is fun…..thank you again.
Part of me shall always remain a kid at heart. I can’t help myself. I refuse to grow up.
The older I get the more I realize how fun it is to be a kid with experience 😉
So true RoSy and the child in you, the one who wants to play should always be given an outlet to do so…performance is one such avenue, as is blogging…lol
This brings to mind the feeling of having small children – it’s kind of freeing to be with people who love you unconditionally and who champion your efforts at all you try, no matter how appalling!
Does the appalling word refer to my art, that i can understand…lol But yes working with people and seeing them work towards a goal is very rewarding. The beauty of drama is that you can try something and if it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t matter you try something else. Thanks Pooky.
ha ha – appalling refers to my attempts at any form of art be it drama or drawing or anything similar. But as an adult and a Mum I feel more free to try things and enjoy them even if I’m not good at them than I felt when I was younger and so afraid to fail.
There is a saying we have in drama Pooky when it appears things are not working, we say it doesn’t matter, the sun will still come up tomorrow. With your own kids you can try anything, and always be a winner.
changing…developing a young one’s mind..growing … let the teacher speak and let the pupil listen
Thanks Jenny, there are many hidden benefits from doing this subject, things that cannot to quantified.
I think I have realised that..some things cannot be given ‘enough words’
Exactly.
