On the 10th june 2011, We made our second visit to the hospice to run our first workshop.
It will be the first time we meet our one on one pateints and get to know them in a deeper more personal manor.
We arrived to the hospice at 9.30 am where we brought all our equipment ready for workshop one.
We set up and jerry again spoke to us about how things will work. We set up cameras with tri pods to record our workshop and set up a dictorphone to record the process of the workshop.
The pateints arrived around 11.00 am where we all sat down in a group to remind eachother of eachother names as the group has slightly differed to last time we went there. the majority of the pateints were the same as before minus a few people and with a few new people. Their was 6 patients altogether.
we again like in the first workshop went round the group for an introduction and spoke about where we grew up, Finley and Tessa ran this introduction. I feel this started worked well as we found common grounds with some of the patients, for example me and Sandra were both from croydon so this spured conversation.
Jerry then split us off into groups to run our workshop, me and mia were paired with carol and her husband Collin.
Collin was very quite and didnt seem as interest in the workshop as Carol did. She seemed very interested in animation and casting and told us lots of stories about objects and her life and family.
I feel we really got to know the couple from the workshop and look forward to next weeks workshop where we will be experimenting with photography and casting as we already used animation in the first workshop using our objects to tell a story.
Me and mia closed the session asking everyone to write a wish on a piece of paper we than talked about what went well in the session. We then went round and read out our wishes, some of the wishes were very touching and made me think about life.
I am looking forward to next weeks session and getting to do more hands on based arts workshops with our patients.
