PhloxEAwing:  fidgit,give time with pratice I'll get better control and hopefully there is enough time

Fidget: Crest: can we try?

Shayleemomo:  Crest : Do you have anything to heal the wounds. 

Crestmaiden: fidget, do you think you need to go back?

Fidget: Yes, I wish to go back and stop the person from stepping on the crystal stone..

Shayleemomo:  Fidget: but even if you go back now, you can't help them

Crestmaiden: nope, i can control wind well, but if you think this wind may help to heal (call the wind)

PhloxEAwing:  Shaylee, thanks no bruises perfect landing

Fidget: Shaylee: Why?Why can't i help?

Skysaver:  phlox - good job... now u can perfect landing

PhloxEAwing:  Shaylee, yes why can't we help them

Exodusor:  "what a bunch of XXX!" sigh

Shayleemomo:  Fidget: Because you only are 1, without power and not strong enough yet, you need the wisemen to advise you what to do..  dont just go blindly, you may get hurt and you will not be able to help.

PhloxEAwing:  Loner ranger, U sound mad at us

Exodusor:  PhloxE: that's just your perception

Crestmaiden: shaylee, what u mean is true, and we r lacking of time, as fidget said within 48 hours the place will explore.... where can we get this wiseman?

PhloxEAwing:  Loneranger, r U mad at us?

Crestmaiden: fidget, try to recall from your memory, what else the wiseman need to do with the crystal?

Shayleemomo:  Exodusor: You are not polite, you are XXXX us, it is your own doing not to join us, and you reluctant to help too....  I am angry now (pooh, pooh)

Exodusor:  "PhloxE is mad, y it keeps think i am mad at them?' Shayleemomo: That's ur perception only...

Shayleemomo: : Exodusor,  PhloxE is not mad, she is asking you whether u r mad?

Skysaver:  ALL - come on,  now we are trying to help Fidget.....

PhloxEAwing:  Loneranger, what? mad at who? now i am confuse

Crestmaiden: crest is just able to see the tension relationship within exodusor and phloxE after shaylee shout out....  crest maiden asked: can i know what happened here?

Exodusor:  "aiyo, y they mad is angry? mad can be crazy isnt it?" 

Fidget: sob..sob...so sorry to make all of you quarelling.

Crestmaiden: phLoxE,  exodusor thought u angry, and actually you r not angry, just think you might have a little crazyness

Exodusor:  "another joker"

Crestmaiden: hahaha

Fidget: according to my father, the wisemen know what to do.

Shayleemomo:  Exodusor: Sorry if I am mistaken, beause I saw you angryly mumbling away.

Exodusor:  "add one more joker"

Crestmaiden: (O NO...fidget start to cry again........)

Exodusor:  Shayleemomo: when did u see me?

 PhloxEAwing:  ( to noone in particular) is it mad to be angry/

Skysaver:  fidget - is ok......  try to recalll what your father said to you about the wise man....   any special or extra ordinary?

Crestmaiden: OK, exodusor, i hope you won't be angry or mind about what shaylee and PhloxE thought about your perception, and do you have any idea to help fidget here?

Shayleemomo:  Exodusor: Because I heard Phlox asking you whether you are mad or not?

Crestmaiden: i agree with skysaver, fidget, can u recall, is this wise man really a man? or is a woman? or wha't the character of this WM?

Fidget: no, he just said the wisemen has to be different from us and they know what to do

Exodusor:  Crest: I am not angry...i am just lost...

Fidget: are all of you considers diff from me?

Skysaver:  fidget- what different your fahter refer to?

 Exodusor:  "and i am finding hard to understand u creatures!"

Fidget: diff from me should be referrring to diff in all aspects.

Crestmaiden: Exodusor, i am glad that you tell us you r not angry, but lost... if you would like to tell, where you "lost" to, we can share together... by the way, have yo become better?

Skysaver:  fidget- then might be us....may be you just bring us and each of us have our strong ability;   fidget -  unfortune that one foolish other can join us at this movement

Fidget: yes, may be we can try first while waiting for papu.

Reading: chapter 14: Stories from Island

when i am reading this chapter, i am started to imagine the children i work with, in HOME. most of the children present the behavioral problem as they had sexually assault, bully and no confident. The dynamic play therapy is an creative arts modalities interaction are used in integrated way to do intervention with the respective children.  this technique especially used to address basic interpersonal, emotional conflict with the goals of developing corrective experiences within relationships

while, i think the relationship must based on trust. children can engage in expressive play together using drama, art, movement, and video with playfulness and spntaneity. the play most probaly on non-directive way. when it goes along, the proces will naturally produce intimacy, trust and mutual reciprocal positive feeling in development.

1st session: Crest Maiden in DRP World

i am confuse, as i am not sure shall i go back to the picture as Alex mentioned or used the DRP World which the character i had created.

Melinda and Mary was ontime. others, still having be there. so 3 of us start conversation discuss a little bit via conference call of what to do. Cheng joint in few minutes then. we decided to used the scenario given and start to role play

we decided to do some trial and warm up, as melinda and mary feeling unwell...
actually i am feeling unwell too, as i m having too much workload, near to burn out by heavy workload. then just back from camp, it's a goverment training course on Kursus Kenegaraan. back on desk, internal audit were audit my unit fail and record......rushing

OK, back to the story here...

actually i felt strange. the feelings is like i am talking alone, thinking and acting alone. as i can't see them, i try to imagine in my "magic space- my little bautiful mind' of the scenario given, i even download the picture by ALS memebrs of their character, and start to imagine where we are.


I am somehow confuse when melinda asked a lot questions without directing to whom. but finally i know she is mentioned to someone who is short hair with pants. hehe... it's really a good trial

Scene become hot, as seok binn- the sky saver and then elaine joint in. we are stop at focused the story on the flute that is so special.


time shows 9.15 pm, i decided to drop off the line and asked all the ALS members to deroll themselves and chat via conference audio call.
we reflect about some feelings, but due to line distraction, we stop. we manage to come out with 2nd time online Drama Role Playing which is fixed on next Monday 31, May 2010. Time : 8.30pm-9.30pm. on air.

and suprisingly, there are 7 of us in this mission of journey.
my favourite number :)

1st role play:27.5.10


Once upon a time....... where beings exist before the dawn of time and space, in the deep recesses of our memories we see glimpses of such a world. This is one such world. The lushness of flora and fauna in this world have given birth to the myriads of beings that roam in them. It was a time too where this dream like world is about to come face to face with challenge of such a calamity of overwhelming proportions that their world will be transformed forever. The beings in this world have each lived in timeless peace, comfort and security within their own reality, each in their respective lives in their communities. This is about to change..... an individual from each community is about to receive the 'call', a call to adventure which will transform their lives and others.

The elemental energies have infused the minds of the seven individuals through a dream to gather by a pool deep in the forest to receive the message which they, individually and collectively have to choose how they are going to react to such a calling.
 
At the gathering by the pool, deep in the forest, the beings started to initiate for their first time
tentative conversation with each other, not knowing what to expect or who these people are.......


character Play:
Ding I Ling: Chronosphere Master, call Crest Maiden
Melinda Leong: Shaylee
Mary Chuah: Exodusor, call lone ranger
Cheng: Phlox E Awing, call PhloxE

(Think Shaylee: "Why is she not answering me, the person with red jacket? Doesn't she understand me? Well let me try again"  "This time let me go in front of her")

Exodusor think again: "I heard someone introduced himself/herself as Crest Maiden, Shaylee and Phlox e" I m wondering whether they have something to share with me?

interviewing technique:Character RP
















Cheng: Green Tie
Melinda: Little Girl in Blue
Alex: boy in purple shirt
Ding I Ling: skateboat
Mary Chuah: tongkat
Seok Binn: the mother in red dress
Elaine: the glasses
Phaik Nee: The green doll

interview technique: to gather more information of client's roleplay story or character

what i learn about the online tutorial tonight, allowing yourself to free, and no doubtful of who you are, just be in the character, go with the flow
YES, the script can't be rewrite, but the script can be recreate with new experience, new role with new environment

talking with the character, actually is working with the client's metaphor and symbolic creative imaginative space. allow client to project the value, the belief and thought about the feeling, thinking and etc

REMEMBER: not to leading the witness
meaning, when doing interview, don't overtake the role as the "character"
let the character speak by itself
leading the witness might let the client go to other way


the good question to start talk about projections:
interviewed with little Green Doll
  • How is your name come? what you would like us to call u?
  • What do you made off? where do you come from?
  • Is there any best friend in this group? If Yes, What's the best friend likes to you?
  • What have you do to make her as your best friends?
  • what is it U do that make u best friends
  • Could you tell me more about your best friend?
  • ok, you told me that you are sharing everyday, i am wondering, what you share with the little girl ? i mean what she had talked to you?
*************************************************************

skateboard:
what is your name? where do you come from?
i am skateboard, local product, orange colour and people call me kay, you can call me KAY


where are you in this picture?
i am beside the boy with purple shirt. he is my master

How do you and your master likes?
my master bring me to skate, we play and have fun together every weekend

Would you like to tell me more about you and your master?
yeah, my master love to bring me out to skate when he is happy, he will bring me to new world park meet with skateboard lovers, and my master skate with friends. i meet with other's skateboard too... though i am local product, but the quality is just like the same. i didn't see my self differ with others skaeboard. sometimes, my master will bring me skate with different style, and i wondering whether i am able "fly" and "skate" with him. though my master always learn to skate with different style, but he guide me. it's fun, coz i am always outing to skate. 




***********************************************************************

it's really different when roleplay
i really need to put myself into the element, act and think like skateboard
when phaik nee asked: skateboard, how do you feel when the boy skate on you? will you feel pain?
seok binn asked: when r u practice skateboard?

i really need to think about when i do the practice, how do i feel as skateboard.
haha...
lovely group members here....
enjoying the role-play


ps: when doing  a de-role
i will stand up and moved away from pC, take a deep breath and say welcome back "X10". this is just to differentiate myreal self and my role being created
i will need to repeat the phrase: i am DING I LING, I AM NOT THE SKATEBOARD- KAY

Lerning is Process, Not Product

"Lerning is Process, Not Product" - Alex Chew, 15th May 2010 via email
i like this phrase...
last time, i am always rely on the products- the outcomes, but i forgot about the process
YES. the process is important!
maybe at the end, the product is not the excellent or what i expected
but, at least, i am enjoying the process

Alex sifu, i am learning how to give up unnecessary anxieties and stress within myself out here. this is not easy..... as too many task come in once times


hmm...
i am a bit worried of TASK TWO
Task Two
"Could you also prepare very brief vignettes of work with individual children (we will start with one to one work with children before we progress into group later) you may be working with, from previous or current cases where you may consider how best to move into role playing to achieve your therapeutic intention or the your role playing efforts had come across some hiccups in your attempt. (Maintain the confidentiality, annonimised all personal references) The main teaching point here is primarily to explore the skills that could be applied or be implemented generally with children. Supervision later will look into the unique dynamic of the individual case presented in relation to your work in using therapeutic role playing. I was thinking about the problem scenario for the ALS and may be incorporate a Case Study. We will discuss this further in tutorial."

 mm...
no ideas what it might going to be....
but will look out later

Chronosphere Master

i think i put my name as "x10" is not follow to what alex's asked lah
my character name is : Chronosphere Master

Profile of my fantasy character
 Name of Character


I was given name as Crest Maiden  as the ability of ancester who can control of of time and space, often bending it to their will. 
Nick Name

‘Crest Maiden ‘ is what others have come to call me because of the ability of changing /freeze the time and space. 
Age

look alike 17 (but nobody knows the real as she can freeze the time)
Gender
Female
Height
165 cm
Weight
45 kg
My History




Adept in the manipulation of storm and wind, Crest Maiden is the very image of elegeance and grace. They say she was once an angel. What we know is that she was thrown into the void between worlds and has emerged with the power of manipulating time. She can freeze her time by traveling a split-second back in time. She can briefly rip apart the fabric of space-time to freeze units around her, yet remain free herself to act. It is rumored that she can instantly appear in multiple locations, but nobody sees her move. also some people said she always come together with LeideFox, a wolf who as protector 
Abode (Where do you live)
Deep  forest
Likes
spicy food and singing, always optimistic
Dislikes
honey
My relationships to others
 love to smile, and helpful; sometimes love to work alone
Abilities
 Crest Maiden is a master of time and space, often bending it to her will. She can jump forward small distances, causing the movement of units around her destination point to be slowed. She is also able to passively revert quickly to a past moment to avoid damage, and lock time on a target . She can rip open a Chronosphere in space time to stop all units inside it, except for herself, to wreak havoc as she pleases. While she is initially weak, you should never underestimate a hero with great special potential that also has the ability to stop time. Never.
Weaknesses






With the ability the master the chronosphere, crest maiden can easily fall to dilemma of dwelling in the past and future, but not make herself to live in reality. She is easily to get lose in space of time, without aware of missing of her right track
How can my character be extinguished or killed off?
 when drop a tears of sadness

RolePlaying Game (RPG)

 joining the role playing game via imaginary realm of Drpworld 

 











i had sign up the memebrship in imaginary realm of Drpworld.... i have no idea what's this is. after i sign up, there is feedback from the  User Gateway
The admin has not yet approved your membership. You will receive an email when they do so. Thank you for your patience.


while, i guess what i need to do is wait Alex to confirm my membership :)
haha...

o maybe just like what alex mentioned in the mail. To be able to facilitate the children effectively in engaging them in therapeutic process of imaginative role playing, the therapists themselves need to experience their own process to be able to appreciate them first hand. 

i need to allowed my own inner ‘child’ come out to play once, by the imaginative and fantasy...... where i will be going to creat a fantasy character for myself as I AM travel into the magical mythic world 

i really feel excited, at the same time, i am feeling anxious, the unknown make me curious of what am i going to faced. It's just like reading "no words Book", all goes with feeling. there is no written rules and regulation what u need to do, which law should u follow, etc. 
right now, in my mind, i am thinking, WHAT KIND of an a fantasy world as i going to meet, as i am engaging with other characters. I asked, WHAT is the challenges i am going to meet? please dun asked me to killed mytic dragon, rescue princess,.....  OMG...
inside my liitle heart,  i think how will ALEX sifu going to guide us to perform the tasks ya???
and the most importantly, HOW does it work? 

ps:
it's look like the website pages for inline game....??
what is inside this imaginary realm of Drpworld ??
i wonder





Learning Task

Reminder from Alex about Learning Task: 

Learning Tasks
For your Personal Learning Journal
Refer to the intended learning outcomes in the module information at the url below (I have replicated them as well)  http://cppd.onlineuk.org/Modules/roleplay.htm  Bear this in mind over the next couple of weeks and stay focus during your reflections as you attempt to integrate your experience with the outcomes below. So start by reflecting on the skills workshop that you had just attended last Saturday.
  • Facilitate the role playing process for individuals/groups in bringing about the desired intended outcomes.
  • Observe, reflect, assess and evaluate role dynamics and the dramatic role playing process in identification and formulation of problem areas, needs as well as in  monitoring therapeutic progress and change
  • Utilise various therapeutic structures and techniques in dramatic role playing which is appropriate to the individual/group and relevant and its aims.

LEARNING REQUIRES YOUR PARTICIPATION - Pay regular visits to your group members Personal Learning Journals and offer your feedback comments on their entries - words of encouragement, reflective prompts, your own views/opinions, links to resources, questions,  etc. Without this kind of interaction there is no value to be gain from learning in a group.  You have to maintain regular entries in your Personal Learning Journal, learning requires risks in making your thoughts and feelings visible, such self disclosure and constructive feedback from colleagues are essential for ‘real’ learning. I suggest that as a guideline; make at least a minimum of an entry a week besides contributing to your members PLJ.
I encourage you in experimenting with embedding a variety of mutli-media add-ons in your blog, creativity includes finding new ways of playing, in this case, the digital environment, in expressing yourself. Many of your have shown evidence of that in your blogs, thus hopefully, this will be a source of inspiration for you and remember to learn from each other, this is after all your action learning set.
Role Playing Game (RPG)
To be able to facilitate the children effectively in engaging them in therapeutic process of imaginative role playing, the therapists themselves need to experience their own process to be able to appreciate them first hand. You need to allow yourself the permission to immerse your own inner ‘child’ playing in the imaginative realm of fantasy and make belief to gain an understanding of the inner workings of dramatic role playing. To this end, I have set up this component of the learning experience for the Action Learning Set where you will be creating a fantasy character for yourself as you travel into the magical mythic world of an a fantasy world as you engage other characters, meet challenges, and perform tasks etc. How does it work?
1.       First created a fantasy character for yourself and ‘become’ this character as you journey into the imaginary realm of Drpworld - http://drpworld.lefora.com/  .  We are using a forum to support the role playing although we could have use Second Life but my concern is that the broadband might not  it and it is not asynchronous. I have already sent you an invite to this private forum set up for members only. To create an avatar to represent this fantasy character go to some of the links which will make the task easier. Just use screen print to capture the image you have created and a picture editor to edit it. Have fun!
2.       Once you have a character introduce yourself as that character at Drpworld.lefora.com  Tips as you enter remember to create a ritual as you enter into the threshold of the virtual world. Perform a simple concrete action and use an object to associate the period you are online whilst in your fantasy role. Example: In my character role as Shape Shifter, I will make a conscious and intentional effort to put a marble (in RP fantasy, that’s my crystal oracle, which the Shape Shifter keeps in the pouch on her belt) in a container next to my computer during the period when I am engage in the virtual role playing. Once I have finished then I remove the marble and return it to the box marking my transition from dramatic reality back to ordinary reality. I am not longer the Shape Shifter, reminding myself that I am back as Alex and the dinner is burning!!! J  This helps to keep your boundary and your feet grounded, hopefully decreasing the possibility of potential internet addiction. It is wise to set a specific day or time which you put aside for this task.
3.       Role playing means you have to dialogue with other characters whilst in character. Use 1st person, present tense in your dialogue. And because you are dialoguing in text, you have to you use adjectives, adverbs to provide the visual details of the action and context. Example
Shape Shifter:  Who are you and what do you want?
Speaking at he top of his voice with a slight quiver as he quickly turn around looking into the darkness from where the sound and shadowy figure is emerging
Be clear who you are addressing your statement to because we cannot see the directionality of your eye gaze as we are relying on the text to be able to visualised the imagery in our heads. You can embed images, videos and links as well to support your role playing at Drpworld
4.       Use your Personal Learning Journal to document your learning and insights as you reflect your character, your character’s development and emerging story line. Developing an ‘aesthetic distance’ between ‘self’ and ‘self-in-role’ will be a helpful process.  Useful to see and refer to the character in ‘third person’ to maintain the benefit of externalisation. Also see the other fantasy characters in the same light and not as your colleagues as you know them in ordinary reality. Examples will be provided in the forum to get you started.
That’s enough for now. We will cover ground again during our online tutorial.
Best wishes
