Robert's Response to FEEL THE BEND

Affirmations

-I REALLY enjoyed being able to put one of our hair memories onto a blank card. It made me make a real deep connection with Anna. For me, It was hard trying to choose what memory I wanted to write down. Not because I had a lack of memories to think of (I had TONS!!!) but because I was just overwhelmed by choosing what memory to immortalize on that blank card. I can only imagine how it must feel for Anna who is trying to keep her memories.

-It's amazing to me how much hair has a HUGE part in our daily existence. We spend so much feeling, touching, sensing, smelling hair. This brings closer to Anna's situation. Writing down memories from my hair made me feel incredibly vulnerable. This vulnerability put me in another state of mind. I felt like I was lost in my memories. As I tried to think of what memory to write could visualize them slowly floating away in front of me. It was so powerful.

-The Betty/John improv with the colored cards was interesting. The whole exercise kept me intrigued. It was fun watching how as the characters developed they started to defend their ideals and answers.

-I LOVED the Betty/Carol office improvs we did!!! They were so much fun!!! I feel that this improv got me more and more closer to Betty and Carol. To be able to play and work on their relationship was a real eye opener. These improvs brought me closer to Carol. It makes me wonder what goes on in her life outside the office.



Questions

-Is Carol attracted to Anna in any sexual way?
-Why is Carol so hungry for friendship?
-What happens outside the office for Carol?
-Is Carol jealous of Anna's relationship with Jon?
-What would Anna and Carol's friendship be like if they had met at a place other than the office?
-How would Anna organize her memories?
-What is Kyle like at home?
-What does Carol eat for lunch?
-Is Carol desperate for friendship?
-What would Carol do if Betti showed up at the office?

Opinion

The Jon/Betti improv with the cards was a little distracting for me. It was a really cool and interesting experimentation but as it progressed it felt more a heated argument.

GREAT WORK YOU TOO!!! THIS SESSION WAS FUN FUN FUN!!! :)
