the fish market

our acting instructor divided group with 5-6 member in each group. and gave a task create a drama scene. people talking like kids, this is what we do, no question. just an impatience sort of not listening to other people. in a group. how does one handle that. in this group you have to make yourself heard or leave.

understand they are doing this unconsciously and what exactly is happening inside their head, are they very excited, are they very nervous. is their identity on the stake. and also there is no clear group leader and in the absence of this they are trying to establish dominance.

clearly peoples ego is invested heavily, they want to win and have affection.

generally you don’t want to be in this kind of group. but let’s run an experiment next time when you find yourself in this group. raise your voice. stop them. give them approval, establish yourself authoritatively, and stop them from doing it.

the point is in the fish market you can not be sophisticated. you have to be loud and a bit aggressive to even heard. also point out any establishment of power as early as possible.

it’s probably becoming fish market because you are letting them.
