Evaluation of the workshop:

Thanks again. and just in case you forgot the question: Did you get from the workshop what you came for?
Yes very positive
1. What did you enjoy most during the process?
To work with the fellow characters and to get to know your place and space amongst others.
2. Why?
I love to learn more about life and myself. Im very open to new ideas and possibilities.
3. What did you enjoy least?
To do some roleplay…
4. Why?
I would much rather be the facilitator and I am not someone that have a big passion for acting
5. Did you learn anything about yourself that you never realised before? Explain.
Yes. I am in a business where I am coaching people how to live their good moral values in life. It was great to be in the position where I needed to demonstrate the things that I coach. I saw some gaps in my own teaching and coaching style and could see where I needed to fix my thinking and reference frameworks.
6. If you answered ‘yes’ to Question 5, which part of the process helped you learn this?
All parts of the process are very integrated but mostly the first part of the process doing roleplay and identification of characters.
7. Was there something that you knew before, but which you see differently now? Explain.
Yes. The way I understand good moral value systems, the way other people think they understand good moral value systems and the way how we explain and show each other good moral value systems. We think we know how, but it takes practice to master the process.
8. If you answered ‘yes’ to Question 7, which part of the process helped you learn this?
Especially in the beginning stages of the process finding ones character and then at the end where the process reached a climax and you really needed to think outside your box to keep up with you character and how it is portrait to the rest of the group.
9. Did you learn something new about drama? Explain.
Yes. Drama could be a very usefull tool to show yourself to yourself by developing and creating a character. It feels like you are looking at yourself acting from a distance and you see yourself in a total different way.
10. What part of the process taught you this?
The whole process. Walking, doing, acting and living your character until you feel comfortable with it.
11. If you did something like this again, what would you want to keep the same?
The whole facilitation process of being nowhere and being guided into a process of self discovery.
12. What would you want to do differently?
I would like to go through the process as being facilitated, but when we get to the feedback, also be lectured the behind the scenes and the how and the what we actually did to get to the relevant part in the process.
13. What did you enjoy about the facilitator and her style?
Her openmindedness and the creativity and enthusiasm to work with each and everyones ideas no matter how small it was. There was a lesson or discussion to be found in everybodies feedback and comments that everybody could use to learn from.
14. Are there some suggestions that you can make so that she can improve even further?
Not at this stage
15. Any other comments?
Not really. I cant wait for the next step in the process

1. What did you enjoy most during the process?
The part when we acted the story out.
2. Why?
It was the climax of the whole process. There was excitement in the air because no one really knew what was going to happen and how the story was going to end. Before we acted the story out, we only talked about the story and the characters, but this time we were the characters and we were in the story.
3. What did you enjoy least?
When we had to write stuff down.
4. Why?
I just don’t like writing that much. I get my thoughts much better out when I interact with people.
5. Did you learn anything about yourself that you never realised before? Explain.
Yes. I’m always looking for more knowledge and experience, because I think it will make me competent for what I really want to do with my life. I think I should just start doing what I want to do and learn from doing it.
6. If you answered ‘yes’ to Question 5, which part of the process helped you learn this?
The part when we debriefed after the part when we acted the story out.
7. Was there something that you knew before, but which you see differently now? Explain.
Not that I can think of now.
8. If you answered ‘yes’ to Question 7, which part of the process helped you learn this?
9. Did you learn something new about drama? Explain.
It is great when you watch a movie or a play and you can identify with a character, but it is even better when you can play that character yourself.
10. What part of the process taught you this?
The debrief session after we acted out the story.
11. If you did something like this again, what would you want to keep the same?
12. What would you want to do differently?
13. What did you enjoy about the facilitator and her style?
Her passion for the her work.
14. Are there some suggestions that you can make so that she can improve even further?
Keep on doing what you’re doing
15. Any other comments?
I think your work is very exciting and it inspires me. Can’t wait to see how it will evolve in the years to come
