We’ve just finished the third week of posture clinics. This has been such an inspiring experience.
As teachers-in-training we all have challenges to overcome. Sometimes memorisation, sometimes performance related. But with just four postures left to ‘deliver’ – the transformations are amazing. We are witnessing each other find our voices, develop style and grow more confident.
Group 14 also knows how to have fun.
Along the way there have been some interesting homework assignments. We’ve seen a range of character performances, crazy distractions from ‘naughty cow’ students and even Half Tortoise delivered as a rap. Nice work Fran.
It hasn’t been all beer and skittles. We’ve had several days of ‘double’ posture clinics in the afternoon and night and at times some students have delivered two, even three postures in a day. The homework assignments have been challenging taking people well outside their comfort zone – (wait, remind me again, what is that?) – but the words of Jon Burras who lectured us this week ring true; “commit to your limitations and you get to keep them.”

I find the beauty of this experience is that on the hardest days, when you feel most exhausted physically and mentally – something unexpected happens to lift your spirit and help you go on. The spontaneous dance party before posture clinic on Thursday night is a memory I will always carry with me. It was just what I needed.
After a long, tiring week “the DJ got us falling in love again.”
