I have previously studied Artaud but never really understood what his aims were. After Thursday's workshop I definitely have a better understanding. I had a discussion with George afterwards. I strangely felt exhilarated after my torture!! (the flies and hurricane). I was surprised at just how much I was able to let go and release all my inhibitions to the point where I didn't know how I hurt myself etc. The particular emotion I had was pushed to the limit. I was actually surprised with the reality and extent of emotions from all those who were tortured! Just to explain to those not present... mental workshop torture :)
