After taken the potion prescribed by my doctor for my knee and I encountered the side effect of – dizziness, nausea, sweating – quickly referred the Mims (which is the dictionary of medicine) oh mine, why hah my doctor didn’t tell me....
But mustn’t let down my team mate, must go on to do the chat in our role.
Mary was not well too.
I felt very strange when I was into the role. Firstly, when arrived into the scene, we introduced our selves. I felt uneasy, when we can’t see each other, we do not know who is talking to whom. Who is directing the question to whom? At one time, I was directing the question to Mary and she did not know that, so I need to describe the costume that she is wearing, only that she knows that I am talking to her.
Since there was no script, it was very hard but when we got the hang of it, we just flowed using by. We also have multiple conversation, how erh? We need to find a way to stop to let the person talking to finished then we continue.
Next session will be on Monday 31, May. Time : 8.30pm-9.30pm.

This is one of the advantage of using text in DRP. We have become too reliant on our senses to perceive the outer world thus become too dependent and 'addicted' some would say. This has robbed us of our inner faculty of imagination. Being 'blind' force us to use our inner sight, to 'imagine' for some, has become rusty. Its like our overdependency on TV and the movies unlike when we read a book we have to create in our minds eye the landscape, the physical characteristics of the characters, the spatial relationship etc. Role playing in text forces you to use those muscles again and hopefully increase your capacity to imagine.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I agreed with you Alex, because when I read a book I will always imagine the senerio and the setting. Wherelse in a TV show, it is provided for and sometime we do complained on the lack of landscaping or prop in the show.
