News of the World

This defusion exercise was submitted by Jacqueline A-Tjak on November 15, 2006 Hi , Let me take the bite. I went to a performance with six men. The performance was about 'music is everywhere'. They started by reading a newspaper and making sounds by manipulating the newspaper. And then they started to repeat a sentence, words from the sentence, that turned it into music. The phrase they used was something like: News of the world. One would repeat the phrase, others would say just some words in a certain rythm. I thought it was a great defusion experience. The content of the words disappeared completely. They were noises, sounds, fun. I intend to use this in my therapyroom. Jacqueline
