Friday class/workshop

During this afternoon's lecture I took down one note that I found really intriguing:
"theory is fluid and for ever changing/growing".

Then I went to the Play workshop I had signed up for with Tanya - and OMG it was amazing!!!
I've never really known much about play theory but Tanya engaged us in this really interesting exercise/game where there was a team trying to break free of a castle and they had to overcome obstacles like crossing the turbulent waters without getting their feet wet by creating stuff with their magic pen/paper, and there was another team that was to stop them at all costs (my team). It was so fun trying to combat each other as they came up with new ideas, we would come up with new ways to stop them. It was only at the end when Tanya asked us to think about what the workshop might've been trying to show that we all thought about it as a theory rather than a game yet none of us knew it's purpose. And then she revealed that it was depression - and the team that was overcoming the obstacles were those that are depressed and the team that was stopping them were depression. It was a revelationary moment for me and I'm not sure if/how I'll use it to influence my project but it was definitely and eye-opening workshop!
