# 12021-11-12 first mini workshop!
we had our first mini workshop and it was a lot of fun! we basically followed the outline in {qiudanz mode 1}, finishing with the "tape and guide" activity.
we were three spanish-speaking people, so the workshops happened in that language.
we tried:
* using movement and voice only, without visual aids / notation
* having a little bit of background music (by dominic loretti)
* jumping almost right into the activity, without giving a lot of context
regarding the first point, even though we could learn and practice the technique without the notation, it was discussed that it might be a good idea to have it there. at least in order to introduce the sequence transformations: some times there was some confusion about where in the sequence (head or tail) we had to apply the transformation, and having a visual/memory aid for them could probably work to reduce it.
it could be interesting to have this visual aid as another "square" in the videocall grid, not as a shared screen. first i thought about having a virtual cam and so on, but now i'm thinking about just using a whiteboard.
regarding the second point: it was nice to have the music; it generated a nice energetic environment and it wasn't too much of an extra (and confusing) stimulus. still have to figure out how to share the music without interferring with the voice(s); probably the extra camera mentioned above could help.
regarding the third point, on context: it seems it was not needed to engage with the activity, but also, as the participants knew about its background and possibilities, we discussed it might be a good idea to introduce further why we are doing this.
we all enjoyed the experience. it was fun and chill, but also challenging in a cognitive and movement-based way.
another nice note was that the movements in the vocabulary were not strictly/rigidly defined, and therefore each one of us could play with their interpretations.
looking forward to the next mini workshop, where we'll try some changes, and we'll engage in english!
