TWIST!

One of the activities we did several times during the neutral mask unit was this exercise when we would turn our bodies around, 180 degrees, one body part at a time. So we would start with our heads, move down to our necks, then our shoulders and then torso and then legs and finally feet. It was a bit difficult at first but it was a good exercise to look at how you control yourself and your body. In order to really properly do this activity you have to be acutely aware of every movement of your body.

This is important for neutral masks. It is easy to naturally let yourself go and let your body react, however you have no idea what's going on, so recreating it when thinking about it is hard. This turning activity really helped people thinking about what was going on with your body. It was a really fun to do.
