my first post thats a little late

Today in class we had Mr Noble, for the past few weeks we have been focusing on physical theatre, he showed us a video of a dance group who was focused on exhaustion so sir had us do a bunch of exercises to get us tired out such as running around the class room as fast as we can, running up the steps as fast as we can, punching the air for 10 seconds, jumping up and down for 30 seconds etc, this went on for 50 mins, by the end i felt like i was dead, i couldnt breathe properly, my vision was a tad blurry and i couldnt walk straight very well, i had a really bad pain in my throat and mouth that lasted for about 10 mins, all i wanted to do was sit down and rest, i think sir done this so that we knew exactly how someone who was worn out completely would feel so that we could act it better and really connect with our characters also i think he done it to show us our limits and how far our bodies can go, i was able to do this exercise for a lot longer than i thought i would and when sir made it into a contest i was able to go a little longer.
