UAL Level 2 Week 25

Monday 24th April

Blog Session 

I spent my time on the weekend reading through the rest of the script and practicing all my lines for Birdman, then after that I thought more deeply into the character and the way that I think he should be portrayed. 


Tutorial Session:

In this session we had a 1-1 meeting with our pastoral tutor about what we would be looking to do next year. I told them that I was planning to continue onto Level 3 next year and was the guided on the best way to do so.

Acting Lesson:

Completed moer script work such as helping people learn lines and also practicing the scenes more without the script as much as possible, this would help me to learn the lines faster and be able to fpcus more on the physical parts of the role.

Movement Lesson:

In this lesson we were told that we would be doing a new assignment based around the chinese martial art form, Tai Chi. To follow that we had to then do research aboutir, for example after research we worked out that it originated in china but it is unkniwn when exactly it first began but has been practiced for over hundreds of years. After we sat down to watch a video of someone practicing 24-form style we had been told we were going to do.

This is a link to one of the demonstraion videos we were following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBvF6r6DOvc

















Production Lesson:

I was given my Production Role as Porudction Mnager which is a large role as I am going to be overseeing the work that everyone does and will have to assess it as the weeks go by. Then after everyone else was given their production roles they began researching what would be required of them in their role then it was my job to walk around and assess everything that they were doing and to give my help the best I could.

Wednesday (No Lesson)


Thursday 27th April

Today we had to show the monologues we had been practicing over the week, mine was Liv's monologue from 'Dreams in Captivity'. My name is last on the register which means that I would be the last person to have to do it, this was useful as it allowed me to practice right up to the final moment which meant that I would perform it to the best of my ability. After performing my monologue to Charlie who is the head of the Performing Arts he asked me questions such as why I wanted to do the course next year and what I thought I could bring to the table for Level 3 rather than someone esle applying from outside the course, I was prepared for this though as a few weeks ago me and a classate helped eachother by rehearsing that exact same interview.
Friday 28th April

Blog Session:

In this time we wrote what we thought about the new assignments we had been given in the week passed. Overall I feel like the assignments will be fun as they are different and something I have not done before.

Acting Lesson:

To begin with we all had to hand in the CV for our character and the letter that we had written up before about seeking acting work as our character. After that we continued practicing certain scenes from our play.
