5/12

P Today we went through the technical stamina, reflecting on all the technique we had discussed during previous lesson! 

We then ran through the running order of the show, Kat went through the tinting of the first section if breaking getting the timing correct! Once Kat explained we all got the timing correct straight away.

When mine and Elliot's duo got performed Kat explained how much it has cleaned up and become stronger performance wise, however we need to clean the locking section up. I have taken this into consideration. 

We then got announced that mine & Elliot's duo has been chosen personally by the 2nd years acting to pArticipate in the cabaret I am so happy and over the moon yet the piece isn't on point, therefore immediately we need to drill, yet I feel during performance rehearsals next week this will increase alot ready for the Christmas show and cabaret.

3-12

Today we recalled out technique during the warm up making sure I interpreted my core and posture. This really helped my core and I feel an improvement on my abs and core from the exercises, aswell as my flexibility! However I need to push myself fully to get to a high standard of flexibility. 

Once warm up had finished, we went through the technical stamina, therefore I needed to make sure this was the strongest I had been, interpreting everything I had been taught with my own unique style / performance. 

We then went into pairs and the exercise was each person would perform the technical stamina & pair 1 needed to put off there partner.  Mine was kornelia, this was very hard due to her focus being on 100% at all times. When It was my time, I lost focus and therefore forgot the movement after witnessing kornelia i knew it was not impossible & therefore need to not loose focus. Especially with the show Appearing very shortly. 

We recalled urban due to everyone being full of energy, this ram smoothly and I am pleased with how much more concentrated and how much it has developed during the last few weeks. 

We then recalled jazz, this was not very good due to the amount of counts we missed and new placements, however once we ran through it slowly and recapped the timing, this helped and it finally got there, I need to keep my focus and performance skills for this piece as well as getting into characterisation due to being a robot !

Strengths; knowing the dance piece, and rehearsing in my own time ready for the show. 

Weakness: get into characterisation and become robot based.

Chloe's workshop

Chloe had a assessment today therefore she took our class. 

Chloe ran over technique due to the show being so close. I felt this helped alot due to this is the background I will be studying when I go to university. However I liked the different atmosphere aswell as how she taught due to being from a different background. As Chloe's main style is contempary. 

I felt I benefited from Chloe's class today and get taught simple technique and movement to perform solo . Chloe picked up on a correction I need to work on, this was when I kick my leg I end up going on my toes, yet my foot should be flat on the ground. 

 

I now know my key elements that I am strong on and what needs to be improved. I aim to improve this before June and improve on all my JAZZ AND CONTEMPORY ready for uni aswell as for every performance I shall be interpreting.
