To be completely honest, I was a little bit afraid of what would happen on the first day. Being a German major and not an actor, I must say that a lot of the Viewpoints book went over my head. Jo-ha-kyu might as well have been ro-sham-bo. (That's rock paper scissors, just fyi.) The book also talked about working under short time limits, which didn't seem to insurmountable, except for the 15-20 things that it said could be incorporated into each composition. That just scared me a little. So alright, after the initial fright subsided, I was pleased with our compositions. I didn't think that mine was particularly impressive, but I wasn't very sure of myself. Hopefully I can work on this. I really like seeing all of the progressions through time that people incorporated. The idea to do a composition didn't even occur to me. Everyone in our group did a single event rather than a time progression, which was interesting, because they were common in all of the other groups. I also thought that it was interesting how much better I could understand the images after I heard the stories behind them. I'm not an art person, so interpretation is beyond my realm of understand. I also really enjoyed how different the stories behind the compositions were.
