Sunday Post

 



 

LOOKING FORWARD to January



This week I took my son sledding and he had a blast. We used a makeshift sled made out of cardboard. 

We had a Disability Jam at HUGE theater. We played games like Pompous Man and a game called Whoosh. My six-year-old son  was able to come with and he loved being able to do improv with adults and included his own nuances into the games. I'm in the picture below with my son sitting next to me.  Here is how you play
'Whoosh'

Average Joe's (Improv Jam)





1.  Everybody stands in a circle.

2.  Start with one person, who waves both hands to his/her neighbor, saying `Whoosh`.

3.  The next person passes the Whoosh to his neighbor, and that way the Whoosh is passed around the circle.

4.  There’s 4 other sounds/movements that can be made:

5.  Whoa!: indicated by saying “whoa”, and holding up both hands in a stop motion. A “Whoa” changes the direction of the Whoosh.


 My son had several days off school so it was a few days at home watching K-Dramas and reading books and playing with LEGOs and drawing with my son.

Finally, I did a stage match at Strike Theater.

  1. I've been reading a lot lately on how doing improv can be helpful as therapy and in writing. And look at your son, getting such an early start!

    Love the snowman snowblowing!

    1. Improv can help you act out those moments in your life that you hold a little too closely, and by making light of them, you can let those experiences go. My son is such a joker and enjoyed every minute of it.

  3. Whoosh sounds like a fun game! I wonder if any of my drama teachers at the school do anything like that. Sounds like a nice week. Here's to another good one! Thanks for visiting me at Lisa Loves Literature!

  9. That snowman reminds me of the time my brother wore a neon orange jump suit to snowblow. Eye catching for sure!
