Thoughts
We ended the class with a “spirit read” facilitated by one of the middle schoolers. We sat in a circle and read small segments of our letter to self. This was a letter than each person had written to his or her younger or older self. It was a beautiful collaborative group poem of messages to another time, but very much received by each of us in the present….

Week 4 This was our last session before spring break, and I could feel everyone chomping at the bit to start the holiday. This week was a halfway mark for the project and we reviewed what we have created so far and deepened and honed what we have. Each group continued to develop their hand dance, adding spatial changes, timing changes and letting the hand gestures blossom into full body dances.
