1/3 done...

Two weeks done and the "real" work is about to start!
So as you probably know we have now worked with the group for two weeks, first week basics and last week more focus on circus and stage presence. And now for next week everyone will choose what they want to focus on and we will start building the show that will start the process of performance! It will be on the 18/10, it's the national meeting of YWCA Kenya/Mombasa. It's quit something to start with!
SO far the group is developing really good and fast, it's so fun to work with them! It really challenges me in my work, also in the aspect of culture. For example an exercise that I do with my students at home is about territory, but I can't do it here because they don't have any personal territory like we do! Or off course they do, but not as big as we have in Sweden and that is kind of the idea with the exercise!
We've been doing quit a lot of acrobatics and pair acrobatics so most of the students have really sore body's... And for me that is a good sign!

The days here pass quit fast, when we don't work or plan our work we are at the beach... We found a small paradise beach just next to where we live!
Yesterday we went dancing on a club that Jeff, from the group, work at as a DJ. It was a lot of fun, but as white people dancing you get more attention than you want...

Over and out for this time!
