We started using canes today. We were creating different shapes and movements with very long bamboo canes. At the beginning of the lesson we had to get a bamboo stick each, put tape over all of the sharp bits and then find a space in the room and start making different movements and shapes with them. We had to be careful though, as there isn't that much room in the drama studio, and there's quite of lot of us moving about with bamboo sticks. But, it is quite good if you're thinking about spacial awareness.
After doing that for a while, Siou told us to get into pairs and have one bamboo stick between us. We had to have one of us on either end of the bamboo stick, both pushing on either end with our fingers, so that the bamboo stick stays up. We had to move around the drama studio, whist balancing the bamboo sticks between each of our fingers and most importantly, being aware of everyone else around you.
I liked this exercise a lot because it was really surprising how many movements you could create using two people and a bamboo stick.
