Theatre For Children: Ninth Lesson

Tuesday 11th November 2014

Performance workshop

This week we focused on our entrance to the stage as we need to go on to the stage in a sack shape. So we figured out that we thought about how the sack would move on the back of someone.  We thought about bobbing up and down which would give the effect  that we were on Santa’s back, we need to get in are starting positions which we start our scene in. so we ask our teacher and she said we could move and go under and over each other which will hopeful make the audiences see the sack shape we are  trying to creative. I think we need to work on our ending, and try and figure out how we are doing to we are going to all get  back in the sack and I was thinking that maybe we would sing a song (which was molly’s idea) and say that action man needs to go in first so he doesn’t get lost again. Each one of us would go in to the sack like in the sound of music song “so long farewell” and we would learn the dance and the baby would go last. We also start to learn the end of the poem in storytelling, and workout how we were going to set it out of stage, our teacher Emma which we would come on in groups and watch Santa fly off as with looking in pure wonder.  We would join in reading the poem at different times this is the order it goes in mice, reindeer, children, toys. We were put in to groups and ask to make a cluster of different levels and shapes.
I really feel this show is coming together; I need to be more confidence with saying the poem which I think I can do which I have learnt it. I think I give lots of ideas and help with other people understanding if they are confused about how we should stand or do.


Theatre for Children
We carried on with our dance piece and we brought in out PJ so we could take pictures and see if we would do the moves in our PJ. After last week went we had to walk round in 8 steps and do a greeting to another person we find it hard to find someone so this week we choose 3 people that we would greet too and it was so much easier because we were going somewhere on stage, last time I felt we were just walking and seeing where we would end up and half the time we wouldn’t have any one to greet.

I felt this week most of the class were focus and we got quite a bit of work done than last week. I think next time we should aim to complete the dance so the following weeks we can touch up of different sections.
