Today in class we played a memory game this was by remember who we threw the ball to and then remember who we then walked to,we then did this but going backwards it was very tricky for some people as they weren't focused or wasn't listening to eachother. I found that this was a good game for me as I could remember everyone's names (new people 1st years).
Today we worked on slow motion and stillness this was by us performing to members of the class by following eachother's hands around the space in the drama studio, this was very fun but my group found it hard when we had to go into stillness/tableau.
Blind leading- trust partnership.
Today I was put with Opal for blind leading this was something very different to what we hadn't done before, I needed to trust her alot in the directions she gave me on where to go this tested our partnership and team work,we had one little bump with another partner but this was due to instructions not being clear or loud. I found that me and Opal work well as partners as we ganged alot of trust with eachother and followed instructions clearly.
Today we was told that we would be having a cover for sue till the new year, this was very disappointing as I had started to get into acting and she helped me with my confidence in my performance.
Today we was told that we would be doing Musical theatre in the show case for December this was a shock to us 2nd years as we hadn't done it before, I like musical theatre and this is something I am hoping to do when I am older. We first was told that we was going to be doing "Return of the Forbidden planet" I had never heard of this musical before so I knew that i'd have to research it.
We also created the start of the first scene of the play,the was by creating the space ship and using unison and canon by pushing out and making the noises "oossshhh" and "woshhh"
I researched into my character I was taking role of this was Burton -
RESEARCH
| Simon Jessop | played Bosun in the musical |
- Burton- Could this be the ship's bosun?
- Main Cast ( Part of main role)
- Played by a man
- Songs lead role- Only the Lonely (Cookie, Bosun Arras),
- one of the all-round good guys
Our class started to put together the scene of the song "good vibrations". The class was very load and energetic but there was concentration or focus as I think it was the end of the day and everyone wanted to just go home .To improve the scene we need to perform and work as a team we also need to clean clean the scene to make it a good performance.
we spent all of our acting lesson rehearing the "good vibrations" scene.Clare decided that we are only performing one scene from the forbidden planet .Once we got going in class we then went over "good vibrations" scene over and over again I have become much more aware of what I was doing and singing confident in the positions and gestures that I was doing. I got the chance to practice the song and learn about what parts we were singing.
I researched into what the scene was meant to be like and acted out, I found out that the crew member were very energetic and looking like there having the time of there life. This is the scene we are meant to be doing ;
