Level 2 performing arts - week 11🎬

This week we rehearsed more of  the play by doing a run - through of the whole play. We are aiming to finish blocking by the end of this week. It is important so that the play choreography is as smooth as possible and it doesn't look rushed or messy on stage. So far, we are about half way through blocking. As i am playing multiple characters, there are lots of stage directions to learn, and i am finding it easy to learn the stage direction but i believe that i could perform it to a better ability. 

On Wednesday, our class will be performing the Beatles tribute at the Globe theatre in Stockton.We are singing the song'You really gotta hold on me'. I am enjoying the rehearsals but also a bit nervous for when we perform on stage in front of the audience. Being on stage is a big part about this course because it gives you a chance to perform what you've created. The performance went okay and i definitely felt a lot more confidence in me after doing the performance on stage in front of an audience.

By the end of the week, we finally managed to complete the stage blocking which means that the entire play is choreographed.I feel liked i have picked up on the stage blocking quicker than i thought i would because i wasn't sure how long it would take me to remember most of it. Now that the stage blocking has  finished, we can focus on transitioning between scenes and remembering our lines.

This week we had another resilience lesson which focused on time management and balancing our work load. Time management is important because they include the benefits of greater clarity, greater capability and greater confidence. Good time management also helps you archive bigger goals, reduces procrastination, and increases some productivity. It can also help you have a better work-life balance and gives you a more positive and greater focus and makes things more simpler and easier.

Level 2 Performing arts - Week 26🎬

Tuesday 26th March We started to film our news reports with Abbie and Kane where we used the Film and TV equipment and also used a teleprompter that was used behind the camera so that when we recorded our news report, we could see the words behind the camera and we didn't have to read it all off paper. We tried to make sure that we had all the lighting correct when filming this news report and also using microphones so that we could be heard clearly when we were being recorded.  Wednesday 27th March  We started off by doing some warm ups with Kellie and the Level 3 students and also some games so that we could practice our acting skills. We then started to look at what we wanted to do for our futures and what kind of preparations we needed for what course we want to do next. For example Level 3 performing arts would need a monologue where we had to pick one and try to memorise it and do a practice audition whilst saying the lines. For example my monologue was about a poem call...

Level 2 performing arts - week 2 🎬

This week I have learned the movements and lyrics for ‘Revolting children’ from Matilda the musical and also practised the show case rehearsal that I am doing which includes ‘Fatal Beating’ which is a sketch by Rowan Atkinson and ‘Say my name’ from Beetle juice the musical. A few other things that I have learned this week is where about things are in college such as the cafeteria, the classrooms and the toilets so that I know where everything is. The final thing that I have learned this week is that we’re only a few weeks into college so you don’t have to be good at everything straight away and nothing has to be perfect just yet.

Level 2 Performing arts - week 32🎬

Tuesday 21st May  We started to do a run through of our end of year show in the theatre just so we know what it will be like when we do it in there on the actual night. it also gives us the chance to make that we know our lines completely and that we have each prop and costume for our characters including there costumes that they wear in the flashbacks and also what they wear to this years comic con. We also made sure that when we change into a different scene, we make sure that the shifts are done quickly and quietly so that the audience don't have to wait in the dark. We needed to make sure that one each person had a part when we go to a new scene so that they all have a part when moving to a new scene. Wednesday 22nd May We started to get all of our props and pieces of furniture together for our end of year performance and started to paint them in order for them to match the scenery that will be used in the show along with some pictures of the internet that we be projected onto ...
