It was a really intense day today, our second full day! The morning started off with a plenary by Phil Kaye, a spoken word poet, and founder of Project Voice. His talk was so heartfelt and honest, and he even performed three of his own poems for us, including one which he considers one of his most personal. He talked a lot about finding your voice, and what it takes to do that. A big portion of his talk focused on what it takes to achieve your goals- specifically, his point was that once you find your passion and take that leap, the work has only just begun. I loved this morning's plenary, and the whole message about finding your passion, finding your voice, and doing everything you possibly can to achieve your goal.
After this morning's plenary, we broke off into our Global Action Teams again, and it was my second, and final, day with Dance. Today, we finished choreographing our dreams vs. nightmares piece that will be performed on Friday. After that, we had the opportunity to do a workshop on lifts. The GAT leaders taught us a few different types of lifts, ranging from beginning to very advanced, and though they could be kind of scary at times, they were all really fun, and everyone was having a really good time trying to advance to the next step, together.
This afternoon, we split up into two groups- blue and orange- and went on field trips. The orange group went to Birmingham, where the blue group will go on Thursday, and my group, blue, went to Stratford-Upon-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace! We went on a guided walking tour around the town, and saw sights including the home where Shakespeare was born, as well as the school he attended. We also got to go on a boat trip, and just take in everything, which was really fun. When we got back to Warwick, the night ended for me with dinner, hanging out with friends, playing card games, and meeting new people! Intense day, but looking forward to tomorrow!
