Stretch

Warmup
HPP 1-4 -> Solo 4-Bars
Repeat & increase tempo for four repetitions, each Shitauchi

FLASH! Expression Practice
Step 1: Everyone writes an action (i.e. listening to music, buying groceries, etc) on paper
Step 2: Select one action paper
Step 3: 4 Uwauchi players (including person who wrote action), 4 watch from audience
Step 4: Person who wrote action starts Shitauchi Ji, 3 other Uwauchi players join
Step 5: Each person solos for 4-Bars (2x rounds) trying to express the action through solo
Step 6: Once 2x rounds of solo-ing is over, audience guesses the action
Step 7: Reveal action, and Uwauchi players share thought process and what they were trying to express

Actions
- Going on a rollercoaster
- Biking
- Herding cats
- Dancing
- Flying to the sky!
- Drinking tea in the garden in the rain
- Watching cat(s) play
- Having dinner with friends

Rather than choosing an emotion (like happy, sad, etc), better to choose an action which you associate with an emotion!
Everyone has different thought processes and emotions to an action
(Ex: if action was "listening to music"... Masa loves this action and does happy solo, while Stacey does not like this action (NOT TRUE) and does angry solo)

Favorite Song/Memory/Action Solo
Two minutes to practice (short on time...)
Dive into your emotions; no "thinking face" or "oops, I messed up" reactions as much as possible
