Ambition Lesson

Ambition Lesson
 

3rd October 2014

Today's lesson we had to come up with an idea of ambition through movements and gestures. We looked at an image of a circle that had a lot of colours involved. We came up with ideas including craziness, eyes/vision, a range of different emotions, confusion, peace and the idea of ambition and triumph.

Firstly, we had to stand in a neutral position and come up with an idea of what would be our greatest ambition. I decided to come up with an idea of going to one of the best Universities in the country. Secondly, we had to think of what would be the worst thing to happen if we couldn't achieve this ambition, so I came up with the idea of going to a University that wasn't the best and that I didn't enjoy, and this was causing me to become stressed.

We had to come up with 4 different gestures and 3 different movements. Firstly, I decided to do a gesture to make it look like I was getting ready to go to Uni and I was waiting for a friend as I acted as though I was waving at someone. For the movement, I took 2 big steps. Secondly, I did a gesture to look like I was handing a piece of work to someone and then I spun backwards and did another gesture to show that I was starting to get stressed, I didn't like where I was, and this was causing me to pull my hair out. The last part was me having an argument with someone about work and suddenly put my hand up as though I couldn't care about the work, and later I cupped my head in my hands and began to cry because I was showing that I couldn't cope with it anymore.

I found this work to be not my favourite type of work that I have done in college. Although it was rather interesting, I wouldn't want to do it all the time but I would do it unless I really had to for whatever tye of work was better with it.
