Monday 16th January
Blog Session:
- Updated blogs again.
Acting Lesson:
- Spent the majority of the lesson rehearsing our Dumb Waiter production which was good as it allowed us to improve on it. It is also good practice for remembering our lines which I feel I've improved on as I now know a lot more of the script than I used to.
- I also enjoyed working with people that were not my partner as it allowed me to gain a better interpretation of how to better play my character.

Acting Lesson:
- At the start of the lesson we did a full body warm up which included stretches, movement around the classroom and improv talking in the role of our characters to other people in the classroom. This helped us to get focused to play our characters in our scenes.
- We then looked deeper into the characters Ben and Gus, who they are and what kind of people that they are. When we looked at Gus we said that he was less likely to take the lead whereas Ben due to his age difference is much more mature and knows a lot more. We also came to the understanding that Gus is dependent on Ben and looks to him for guidance, we can see this with the amount of questions that he asks him.
- Then we moved onto the scene rehearsals with people that we hadn't worked with before. As we were performing the 2 scenes 2 people called out different emotions that we had to portray whilst playing our character, for example calling out sad, happy, excited, tired etc. This was difficult as we did as we didn't know what emotion would be called out next, but was also useful as it allowed us to practice adapting to different things instantly which then helps to improve our improv work and help our ability to allow things to flow much better.
Movement Lesson:
(OBSERVATION LESSON)
(OBSERVATION LESSON)
- In the movement lesson we did a warm up as we usually do as it helps to relax our bodies and improve movement capability, also did the board number exercise with numbers 1-8 like: 1. Run, 2. Walk etc. we did this for about 15 minutes until everyone was warmed up. Then we moved on to do multiple core exercises including push ups, sit ups and planking.
- After doing this we then practiced our walking dance routine for the rest of the lesson, linking my group and another together.
Production Lesson:
- We started our drawings for our chosen performer.
- On the drawing I have also spoken about what she is wearing, why she is wearing it and how it works well with the person that she is:
- The dress that she is wearing which is more a shirt is very low cut as when she is performing she usually tries to sexualize herself.
- The cross that she is wearing shows that she may be trying to connect with her fans on a deeper level.
- The blue is works very well as it is dominant because it is the only thing she is wearing.
- The large piece of fur shows that she probably has a lot of money which also compliments her style of expensive fashion which can be associated to Rihanna brand Fenti.
