Exploring Your Convention

Complete the following information for your exploration in your journal (paper or electronic).

Part 1: Convention Exploration Preparation

Focus of Exploration: (Voice? Movement? Facial Expressions? etc.) 

Warm Up: How will you warm up the part of your body that you will use to explore? How will this help you to be ready for the next step? 

Explorations: What specific exercises are you planning on trying out? Detail what you will do. What do you hope to gain from this exploration? 

Part 2: Convention Exploration

Take time to rehearse (and perfect) the explorations, starting with the warm ups and going to the explorations.

Part 3: Convention Exploration Reflection: 

For each area (warm up and exercise), take time to reflect on the experience. What was it like for you to do this? What was difficult? Easy?  In which areas did you notice you became better? What else did you notice / learn / realize through the explorations? What connections can you make to other practices that you have done (performance related or not)?

Part 4: Group Share

Choose one of the exercises for your convention that you would like to teach the group. Explain and coach your teammates to try it out!
