workshop
We didn’t performance
workshop this week so we had storytelling all afternoon, we work on our set out
of our play. Which was good as we all got to see when went need to be on and
where. I feel that I have trouble remembering but I remember some sections and
placements but I didn’t want to get it wrong so I didn’t say anything. Which I
feel was a little silly but I think next time if it happening again I'm going
to speak up, that was one of my weakness from this lesson.
We change
some sections in out scene because we were going too slow with getting out of
the sack and action-man moving the toys, so we come out of the sack we move
quicker and we use more moving in the sack and dialogue. We also change when we
are frozen in our places and action-man changes our positions, our teacher thought
it would be better if we would change on our own and action-man would just
doing movements so it seem like he was moving us. We also need to think up some
more ideas to catch action-man because one of our classmate isn't here, so we
thought we could add “do you want to build a snowman” because all the kids know
where comes from and it also means the children can relate to the phase.
Theatre
for Children
We finished
are dance piece which is good because we can focus on our last dance section
which will include bow for the end of the show, we add a Mexico wave down the
line which we reveal Santa and then we will run in to 5 group which two of the
groups will open around of the toys and the other groups will become a tree or look
up to the tree and open a present. I really like this because it feels like if
we really saw excitement in our face we can really give the feeling of
excitement at Christmas. We can get that excitement all the way though out the
show, the children will really enjoy the show. Strengths was that I develops
the unwrapping of presents, I develops the presents but going in close together so that when pop out it so it was more opening, than just throwing you arms in the air. Weakness I find to stay in time with the dance piece because I am
confused and how many counts we wake up to?
Good Jenny, make sure you are still being clear in your observations - how did you develop the unwrapping of presents?
ReplyDeleteWaking up is 8 counts. Also think of how else you could improve your performance of this piece.
