Today I had gone for a session of “Diploma in Experiential
Education & Practice” or DEEP as
they call it. As the name suggests it is about how to facilitate experiential
education amongst a group of people of any kind. I learned about it from a friend
of mine. The instructor is generous enough to keep it informal so that anyone
can simply walk in.
Today’s topic was use of drama or acting or theatre in
education.
The visiting faculty who was from background of theatre of oppressed
took all the participants through a series of games, improvisations etc.
At the end of session he asked us to write minimum three metaphors
for ourselves. An image- how we perceive ourselves….
Here’s what I wrote-
I am—
Like a bird wanting to
take a leap
Like a bunch of words
that are waiting to become a verse
Like a canvas that is
being painted
Like a camera film
that has various impressions
Like web of too many
strands entangled in a chaos
Like an order emerging
through the chaos
