Double Performing Arts Lesson (22nd February 2016)

In today's lesson we decided that now he have completed all 7 stories we would run them all and see how much more work we would need to spend on each of our stories.


-- Therefore we started with Lorna's story- We ran through with minimal mistakes, however as it was the first story we hadn't gone over it in a long time, we were a little unsure on movement at times, however we were able to over for each other successfully and complete the scene. Therefore for this scene all we needed now was for Lorna to record her audio and run through with the audio.


-- We moved onto story 2- (James's story)- We spent the most time on this scene so we were all reasonably okay with it. However we still needed to practice with the projection sheet, and make sure our shapes looks good whilst behind the sheet. James also decided to cut more out of his scene during the week, therefore we needed to practice over with the new updated script. Therefore for this scene all we need now is to work with the sheet up and make sure it all runs smoothly.


-- Our third story (Lewis's story) is also quite well organised, the only improvement we need to make on Lewis's is to get Rhiannon up to date on our performance as she has only gone through this scene once. Therefore for this scene we need to fit the scene around Rhiannon (who is the Snow Queen) and get it up to date with her included in the story.


-- Story four is my story. There is still more in my story that is needed to be but out, as I had the longest story and even after a lot of cutting is still too long, and difficult for everyone to learn in the short space of time we have to do our performance in. I also still need to record my audio and run through the movement again to fit with the recorded audio to insure it runs smoothly and together.


-- For Rhiannon's story, we needed to neaten up the movement to make it work with the speech in the story. However apart from that we were pretty much up to date with it, we knew which key words we needed movement on and which lines we would be repeating along with Rhiannon, therefore all we had to do was match the movement to the audio.
-- In story 6 (Charlie's story) we needed to do a lot of work on the movement, we needed to add movement in, too match his narration. Charlie Decided he wanted to use similar techniques to Rhiannon, to have key words to included specific pieces of movement, therefore we needed to decide what key words we wanted and included movement with.
For Oliver's scene there is no movement, he wanted to use projection therefore I would need to set up the projection and lighting and run through the scene, to make sure it looks affective for Oliver to narrate around it.
