Task One: Evaluation of Process and Performance of SIX

 after being cast as Anna of Cleves, I was super excited to start rehearsing. During our first rehearsal there was lots of choreography that had to be learnt, this started to make me panic as I am not the best at picking up choreography in a short amount of time. At this point I had noticed that my peers playing the other principal roles were quite good at picking up choreography, this made me feel quite inferior and made me panic and worried that I wasn’t going to be able to do a good job or that I was looking silly. after that first rehearsal I went home feeling quite defeated I wanted to give up, What I decided to do was pick myself up and watch the videos of the dances that we had learnt  today. I watched the videos for a few hours learning the dance and trying to perfect it for the next rehearsal. The next day at the next rehearsal I now knew the dance quite well from the point that we had stopped yesterday , but a new problem arose there was more choreography  to le...

Task One: Peer/Self Assessment

 from these assessments I can clearly see I need to carry on giving it my all and truly performing everything I do with passion. I am very proud of the work I did for this musical and happy that it paid off.

Task One: Performance of SIX the Musical

 - Discuss feed back on performance from audience members - style: how accurate was your interpretation of the choreography and execution of the style you were working with. I am so proud of myself and everything I have worked for to achieve what had been done tonight, we had standing ovations in both shows which was fantastic as it felt like what we had spent so much time working on was received and loved. I am so great full for the opportunity to of got one of the principal roles and to put my own spin on it. Before this show I could never of imagined that I would have the confidence to be singing in front of hundreds of people as that is an area of myself where my confidence wavers but I did it and I am proud. I am also very grateful for the rest of the queens as i believe we all helped each other with our nerves and before very performance we would go into the corridor and have a quiet moment to ourselves and practice our harmonies and do vocal warmups. I got lots of feedback a...

Task One: Rehearsal Schedule and Time Management

 Date: 23/11/22 As a principle role I had quite a lot of extra rehearsal compared to the rest of the company, this meant i had to be on top of my schedule and my time management. I had to make sure I had the right kit for dance, sometimes we had rehearsals that were not on schedule so i made sure i had clothes appropriate for dance on me at all times. Since i had a lot of extra rehearsals aswell as getting the same amount of work as other people who had more time than me to complete it i had to make sure i was truly on top of it.

Task One: All you wanna do

Image
 This is my Rehearsal Log: 10/10/22 In todays rehearsal we did the song ‘All you wanna do’ it is a heavily jazz and particularly inspired by Fosse, It is very controlled and every movement needs to be in complete unison to give the desired effect so it is very important for me that i know every move and deliver each move with passion. There are lots of different isolations, e.g. on the line “*kiss* ah” we have a wrist isolation. My strength of this rehearsal was coordination and control, i really enjoy jazz style of dance and it is my preferred style and i am looking forward to rehearsing this dance more so i can get it tighter. One thing I noticed i need to improve on is that a few times where my legs are supposed to be together they are apart which you can see in the image below, now i know that i have done this it should be an easy fix as i am conscious of it.  In this picture we are doing a lead forward whilst also doing a shimmy/repeated shrug with our shoulders, meanwhil...

Task One: Get Down

Image
 This is my Rehearsal Log: 29/9/22  I think this weeks rehearsal was such a step up compared to anything else I have done, I am so confident in what I am doing that I'm almost in my own world performing. I am successfully doing the choreography and giving the role characterisation and am really pushing towards being done for the final performance. Something that is now of my concern is working on singing and dancing as I have not done that once in all these rehearsals for this song. My target for this is just to practice after college in the rehearsal space so I have enough room to do the dance to its original spacing.
