“Lecture” by Finn Hagested and Dorte Vanghøj...

... Today we had lecture and workshops by these two teachers. 

                In my group we attended the music workshop first and the sports – juggling after. We sang childish songs(!), I learned a very pretty finish one about a bear that children believed it was sleeping (but finally she didn’t…poor children) and then we sang all together in kanon. The result of our song was very nice! 

                We took a break and then we entered the second class. After a very short introduction, we started working very intensively with some small balls. Step by step and without knowing (maybe we did but we weren’t sure) in the end of the class some of us were almost able to juggle a little bit with three balls. In the beginning I didn’t consider it a great achievement because I felt that I had no progress all this time but after Dorte’s note that we learned it in less than 45 minutes, I was really surprised!

                Summing up in the class, we had to think about a case that we were “in the flow” and as Rika told me (I totally agree), today’s experience was the best example! Everything that was mentioned in theory became action! The element that corresponded more of today’s sayings, was time!!! After all this (I won’t say totally boring because it is very rude…) not-that-interesting lectures we had, for the very first time I didn’t feel time passing… I didn't even think about looking my watch... Unfortunately, the moment I got so excited, we had to end the second class. I truly wish we had double or triple as that to deal with both subjects more! On the other hand, maybe it’s not about quantity, it’s about quality…

                There aren’t more things for me to say… I really enjoyed everything we did and I am looking forward for tomorrow’s visits.

                Closing the day, I am thinking that if someone would tell me in the morning that I could possibly do something like that, I would NEVER believe it… Now, it was confirmed that with a good teacher and strong will, lot of things are possible!!! Today, I learned much more things than juggling or singing foreign songs…
