Movement 16/10/13

Today was SHOW DAY! 

We came into class and level 2s and ourselves rehearsed together each group being quiet for the group performing, we then went on a lunch break before performing at lunch me and Sam were running our lines then I quickly went to change before entering the theatre. 

We watched the certificate music, certificate drama, dance, level2s and then we were up! We all sat behind stage quietly waiting for are que, then it was me I went on stage thankfully remembering every line and action and then exited. We waited for everyone to go on stage and then we all bowed 

I think all the performances went very well and am proud of everybody as we only had a short time to get a quite difficult play ready. 

Classical theatre 15/10/10

As the performance was one day away we spent the whole lesson rehearsing, Lucia took videos and pictures of us performing to give an insight on what we look like. 

Here's terithias (me) and Oedipus (Sam) rehearsing our scene. 

Vocal 14/10/13

We came into lesson doing short vocal warmups and got straight down into rehearsing, while rob wrote feedback and told us after each group performed. 

We then went into the theatre to watch the music department perform their induction pieces 

Classical theatre 10/10/13

We ran our plays one by one while rob directed us. We then took it into the theatre and each group performed their play showing us what it may be like on the day and how loud we need to project and how to work the space. 

Movement 9/10/13

Sharon separated the class into our play groups (Oedipus, Medea, Antigone) and told each group to come to her at a different time to discuss our assignment was which to be given. 

While my group waited to be called we line ran outside robs class. 

Principles of acting 8/10/13

we rehearsed our plays as the show is next week Wednesday, we watched the other plays also giving feedback. 

Rob also gave us notes on what we need to improve on such as, taking my time and pausing on the line "you".

Movement 7/10/13

Josh taught Sharon's lesson and started off by warming us up with music! Doing exercises to allow our body to move. 

He then layed out three yoga mats, putting them in pacific places running around it in a certain 'routine' one by one. 

He then took them away making us remember where they were and pretending it was still there. Emma, Lou, Connor and Eliot made it believable that it was still there. 

The exercise showed us that even though nothing was there it was still in our memory (just how it is when learning lines on a script) it also showed us about team work, when nobody was going someone can jump in and save it (like being on stage when someone forgets their lines etc) it also shows team work. 

We then made 4 lines jumping in 2's up to 8s in correct timing while music was playing. This made us focus hard as you would on stage and not pay attention to any noise going on around you but to still stay focused and continue.
