Hello Blog readers - I'm a little later in reporting last Monday evening's activities because my last blog seemed to disappear? Anyhow speaking of strange happenings, maybe you know the story about Pandora's Box, but if not just briefly..... Pandora's Box is an artifact in Greek mythology - Zeus entrusted Pandora and her husband, with the safekeeping, in his absence, of a jar which contained, unknown to her, all the evils of the world. She was told not to open it, but of course being gifted with curiosity, as you might say, she went ahead, and as she did so, ghostly forms gushed out - Pandora had unleashed all the evils known to man. At the bottom of the jar, was the last thing to come out - something that wasn't evil. We call the good that Pandora unleashed last, by the name of hope.
So, having summarised the story, President Barry welcomed members to the meeting and three newcomers who we were pleased to see. He outlined the activity - participants would select a wrapped item from a box and would have a maximum of four minutes to invent a story around the objected selected.
Once again members surpassed themselves with ingeniously creative stories about their objects and even mimes. The jury is still out as to which was the best presentation, but I gather Evelyn's rendering of an elephant walk was one of the most amusing! It was certainly an inspiration to hear how members were able to conjure up amazingly imaginative stories without any preparation.
Next Monday, we look forward to a guest speaker give a presentation on theatre skills. Maybe we might see you join us? You would be most welcome. Please see our website for venue and time details.
