Week 11 Journal Prompt – Alicia

The individual choreography of the various characters’ “fits” suggest that—like puberty—this experience is unique for each female. If you were to portray your own coming-of-age in a short segment (like Toni’s “fits” dance sequence), how would you do it? Which element(s) of your development would you focus on?

After reflecting and deciding what to emphasize, create an artistic representation of what your own “fits” experience would look like, sound like, and feel like. It could be a filmed sequence like Toni’s, or it could be an abstract depiction—up to you. After creating your representation, journal about what it was like to “relive” this time in your life through representation, how you chose which aspect of your development to focus on, and how the medium you chose was conducive to representing this stage in your life.
