Diploma Friday - 26th Of November

Lesson 1 & 2 - Dance:

This morning in dance we had to put in a lot of work enable for us to create a piece of dance, we spent our time constructively. Demi played the main character of the Snow Queen and Me, Shenell, Aaliyah, Naomi And Shyanne were all iceskaters, fairys and snowflakes for all separate parts of the dance. We had to imagine almost as if the music has painted us into a pretty picture.

 The beginning part of our dance was very unexpected, it was very fast and time keeping, we all start in scattered out positions as snow flakes to the furtherest of the right and the Snow Queen was placed in the middle, we had to wait for a sound and this part of the dance included Spinning, Turns, Twirls, Hops, Running, Flashy Jazz Hands and we had to put on exciting over thrilled faces.

For the second part of the dance, this included an ice-skating scene which was very complicated and had a lot of swift movement and repetitive cannons. No jumps or hops were used for this part, we had perform an action where we would tie our shoe laces one by one, as a gradual cannon. We then had to hold eachothers hips and lift our heads high like skaters and skate from side to side 4 then, we would then place our hands down and twirl on the shot, then place hands back onto the hips skate from side to side 4 time more and scatter off into our positions for the next part of the dance, where we would go into our partners in a staggered order and perform our duets, although all of them were the same. We repeated this part especially several times.

We still have the ending bit to made up yet but we got quite a lot of physical work down today with the corporation of the class.

This morning's lesson were really good and we had a lot done, although I should have got more sleep ill remember that for next lesson.

Lesson 3 - Blogging in Music Lesson

Lesson 4 and 5 Drama -

These two lessons were very helpful, because we needed the time to rehearse and go through our lines properly rather than rushing. We managed to go through the script at least 6 times, at first we expressed the script through speech first. Then about the third time around, we decided to rehearse with stage directions. This was quite difficult to pull together as there were a lot of disruptions and laughter happening behind the curtains. We also discussed what kind of costumes and props that we should use for our performance, in the end we came to a decision and we decided to keep it very basic with red baggy tops, black leggings, Christmas hats, plimsolls, head bands and 3 or more extra large brown t shirts for the volunteer kids who are going to go up on the stage and take part in the play. Hopefully all goes well.

Today was a great diploma day!
