Tuesday 24th January

Acting Lesson:

• In this lesson my partner and I were taken out for a short time to have a 1 to 1 practice run through with out teacher, this allowed us to focus on our performance a lot more and being alone with the teacher definitely improved our performance as we added new things and run-through went a lot more smoothly.
• After this we then went back the the usual classroom to continue practicing and working on our piece.

Movement Lesson:

• In this movement lesson we began with the Board Number warm-up which then lead to an all body warm-up including stretching and different muscle workouts
• After we were done with out warm up we spent the lesson creating a new piece which was to be performed as slowly as possible. After we were practicing for the lesson we then had to perform it to the class.

Production Lesson:

• In this lesson we looked at a few examples of model boxes that were used as bases for concert layouts. We looked at a few different examples before being given the task of coming up with a shopping list full of things that we need to create our own model boxes for our concert that we will be producing.

• In this acting lesson we had a photographer come in to take pictures of us practicing and doing group activities. These activities included freeze frames, image making and movie scene recreations.

Blog Session:

• Worked more on our blogs adding to them with the stuff we had done in the lessons before.

Acting Lesson:

• Did more run throughs of our Dumb Waiter pieces, at the end of performing all scenes we were given group feedback and teacher feedback which we would then apply in our next lesson in order to make our scenes run more smoothly and be more enjoyable to watch.
