So Everyman finds Good Deeds, who is for some reason stuck on the floor. I can't figure out the philosophical meaning behind that, but anyway! Good Deeds helps Everyman find Knowledge, who's his sister, which in my mind translates to with Good Deeds comes Knowledge. you learn when you do good things. Knowledge I also think symbolizes the knowing and acceptance of death were told we experience. More support for that is that when old people die peacefully in movies or books and on occasion real life, they have this acceptance of the end. They know it will come to everyone and it's there time now. Knowledge seems to calm Everyman down. He is instantly happy that someone will be there to hold his hand, which is evidence of my reasoning behind Knowledge. Knowledge, ironically and obviously, is
the common sense to Everyman. She suggests confession to basically make peace with God and try your best to not go to hell.
I'm really loving this symbolistic (is that a word?) play. It's a really creative way that someone could have just said "he died." Why couldn't I write a thesis on this?!?!!?!!

So today we had acting training, for what seems like a really long time to me. And it was different. I enjoyed the connection exercise, feeling energy from your body and connecting with an object. To be honest, there were moments when I didn't feel energy pulling me to an object in particular, but more of a space, or sense that my "time" was done with an object. Occasionally when I was drawn to a space, I would find an object I was draw to once I got there. But overall it was weird to sense the energy before moving because I feel like those are usually and supposed to be connected. One movement; the drive and the doing. And it gave me a better sense of intentions and stakes. At one point I was so so so bent on moving a bump in the floor, and it just wouldn't move!!!! I had no idea what it was but it pissed me off because the floor was uneven! Also I felt like my repetition went well today. I started feeling the repeating in my body and tried to focus on my feelings and wants tried and make them clear.
