Where Games
Where games were games that we played that were based on our imagination of the objects we were wielding and, the elements of our sensory environment incorporated into it. Our sensory environment, if you must know includes things like taste, touch/feel, and sound. We sat in a circle and basically Mr. Mouck would tell us to pick up an object. We then had to describe the object in our hands. As I mentioned before, we would describe it based on it's smell, feel, taste etc. The objective of the game was to teach us how to get the feel of our environment, using our senses.
The first object that we started with was a phone, a ringing phone to be exact that we all proceeded to pick up. We all went around the circle describing what kind of phone it was, it's color and any other special physical attributes it contained. Some people *cough,* *cough,* like me did the typical Pinky finger, thumb phone, you know, the one you see in the movies just before the person says call me. Either way I managed to change it quickly and it became a regular phone. Mine was a home phone and purple. We then were asked to pick up a drink. For some reason I was immediately shifted to a bar scene, everything was blurred out, not because I was drunk, but because my drink was in focus. It was a beer of course, in one of those lager glasses. I remember I could see the water droplets on the glass because of it being cold. And when I took a drink I felt it going smoothly down my throat, however I didn't taste it. A book was the last of our objects to describe. When we reached back to pick up a book, at first I saw Harry Potter then I saw Twilight. I was conflicted about which book I saw so it was a little harder for me to describe. My experience with this game didn't start off the way I wanted to but I feel that I got the hang of it after a while.
The second part of this game was done with partners. It was done with the somewhat the same concept. We were supposed to turn around pick up an object then hand it to our partner. However, this was to be done without telling our partner what it was, and they were supposed to guess what we were handing to them. Using the elements of improvisation, we were supposed to say 'yes' to whatever our partner thought it was.
It was a little hard for me to get the hang of it at first. I remember giving my partner an orange, and he in turn received a burger. So we played around with the situation a little bit. And eventually I got into it.
