Project update

Martena Grace
Final Project update

       My final project is going well. I have held 3 classes so far with approximately 5 females on average attendance. The classes themselves are progressing how I hoped they would. The women are really shocked that there are such simple moves can make a huge impact. We actually have had amazing conversations after class about women in society.
    One of the things I have really struggled with is taking photos & Videos. In my first and 3rd class, I was the only instructor so I was constantly being active with them and answering questions so it was extremely hard to stop and take photos.
   My last goal with this project is to do a class in public * speaking it into existence *. I really wanna hold one of my last classes in a public place such as a park. I have tried 2 weekends ago and 10 minutes into it... It began to pour.  I will try again this weekend though!
    As per my research, This is what motivated me to do a public class. I found a performance art piece that I will show in my final presentation that was so powerful to me and connected to my theme of seeing women under a different light. The people in the comments found it " stupid" and the world is going " insane" but I understood what they were doing and found it very moving.
   This following picture is from my second class where one of my senseis happened to be at the dojo as well.
* more to come*
