On 28th of October, we experienced a seminar sort of event with Daisy. She is a slam poet, presenter, and guest speaker along with many other things, she is incredibly talented.
We first started off with joining together in a circle and playing a game; this game is similar to fruit salad. Someone would stand up in the middle of the circle and say something true to them, people who have experienced the same will also stand up and switch chairs with the other person/people.
The second activity that we did was to walk around in the circle and do the things she told us. Daisy says that this activity was to help us to be aware of our surroundings but to also be dynamic in how we move.
Thirdly, we got into pairs and did an activity where we had to make eye contact with our buddy whilst creating a portrait of them. It was extremely awkward to do, but it was a great experience.
Lastly, our last activity was world-play. Daisy explained it to us in great detail, our word was ocean and we wrote many words relating to that word. The second part of that activity was to say our words as a group without making a mistake.
We finished off the session with a poem from her. I was extremely inspired by the things that she said in her poem and I learned a lot from her. It was an amazing experience and I am truly honoured that she chose to come in.
