Our starting warm up was based upon our sense of time. Our first activity involved us sitting in a space, eyes closed, we were to raise our hands when we sensed a minute had passed. We did this each time and personally got closer each time at got 1 minute exactly on the third go.
The next activity we did was called "24". As a group we had to count to 24. The rules prohibited more than one person to speak at once and only one number could be called at a time. This proved challenging as a group to complete trying to sense when to speak or not to speak.
These two activities proved useful later on in the lesson, the minute countdown made us aware of time helping us with pace. The "24" activity was helpful as we were more spatially aware as a group and it helped our groups sense of urgency as there was a lot of hesitation at first.
Main activity:
The group watched a video based upon the concept of time and mechanics of a clock. I used the monkey talk technique to list all the ideas I thought of in response to the video. These were then shared to the group.
One key idea from my work that we included into our final generated motif was the idea of varied speed and levels of the mechanism.
The mixture of paces (Fast and slow) represented time passing, the faster paces created a sense of urgency.
