I was teaching long form at Hoopla last night and was reminded of a tiny movement that I often see out of the corner of my eye. It means someone at the side of the stage has an idea. It happens in almost all long form classes (and a lot of shows). It’s not even a whole step. It’s often an intake of breath, a tensed calf or a list forward. Students are sometimes surprised when I say ‘you have an idea, go do it’, as if their bodies hadn’t betrayed their thoughts. Months ago, I was in a tiny village near Shrewsbury where I had no phone signal or Wi-Fi. I spent a few hours looking at paper maps and walking up beautiful hills in the rain. But when the light was gone, there wasn’t much else to do but watch the Jurassic Park trilogy. I was struck by this quote: "Dr. Grant: I have a theory that there are two kinds of boys. There are those that want to be astronomers, and those that want to be astronauts. The astronomer, or the paleontologist, gets to study these amazing things from a place of complete safety. When those students are on the side of the stage, they are astronomers and paleontologists; they get to see the history of the universe in the scenes of the other players. It’s hypnotic and it’s beautiful. It’s a discovery. It can feel active because you’re making deductions; finding out how, who and why. But if you don’t follow your feet, then you never get to go into space. So when you do have that idea, or you just need to fill the space and support someone; go. Become an astronaut. "Dr. Grant: And that's... that's all that Billy wanted.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too
