Level 2 performing arts - week 12🎬

This week we did two full run- through of the play 'The girl without hands'. One of them we did with the script and the other one we did without a script to test to see if we could remember our lines for the  different characters that we are performing as in the play so that we can remember the lines we have for when we do our actual performance. How i remember to recall these lines is by saying them in my head multiple times until i finally get the full line and also by writing them down to remember them so that i don't forget.

We also got our feedback from our tutor Abbie about how we did in our performance that we did so that we know what we need to improve to our characters for when we next rehearse it. This is also important to remember so that when we play more characters in the future, we can have more feedback so that we can learn how to improve which ever character that we are portraying in that show/performance.

Another thing we started to do was create some props for our performance by using cardboard boxes and some wooden chairs. We used the cardboard boxes to make fence railings and attached them with cable ties to the ballet bars. We then started to add some artificial plants and flowers to them that we got from the props room, just to give it a bit of detail.

When i rehearsed as these characters, it definitely gave me the chance to be more confident with myself, and not only that but it lets my confidence manifest from the inside to the outside which encourages me more.

We also had our final lesson of resilience. And then by Friday, we managed to finish making the fence poss and painted them and started to add more flowers to them. We then went through a full rehearsal of the show so that we had it all sorted out and made sure that everything was ready and complete for the  performance.

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 ...
