Monday 14th Jan -
We began with warm up with Nick, and we done the form and lying down on our back's trying to stretch our spine, and in the form we added a new step, so instead of going down and then standing up, we go down straighten our back then lift our head up and then we stand up into the last position.
After warm up we had double drama and we were in our groups and we just kept on going over our fairytale, blocking it and making sure that every movement had a purpose and also making sure that every line we said wasn't chewed and also checking to make sure that all the lines were sensible and had no bad language.
After drama we had gary's lesson and we were just doing our hot seating, and we had to take notes on eachother's hot seating and take notes. Only half of the class done their hot seating yesterday and the rest of us are going tomorrow!
Tuesday 15th Jan -
We began warm up with gary and, we talked about our next drama school mock audition and, we
also done some work on our Storytelling performance pieces. So, we were asked to join to our groups and to make our version of the story a silent piece, and at first it was hard work because we only had like 15 minutes to do it, so first thing was first. we had to block bit by bit in silence, then we performed it, and the idea of this warm up exercise was so that gary could guess what the story was before we told him what it was, and he got it dead on, so, whatever were doing, we are doing it right so we just gotta keep up with it.
then we had tutorial and we just done our online blog entry's, then went to lunch.
after lunch we had jackie's lesson and we learnt some lines from a play, and some vocal warm up exercises. then we had gary's lesson, and we done the hot seating well the final part and it was my turn. and i think i Flopped BIG TIME! he asked a question and he said, " have you ever done any shakespeare before", so i referred to the time when i played Friar Laurence in Romeo And Juliet, but for a second i forgot the name of the character i played, and accidently said Friar Tuck, a character from Robin Hood. a very silly Mistake.
Anyway after Gary Pointed out my mistake it was then end of the day.
Thursday 17th Jan -
today we began warm up with sean, and we learned a song called, Oh Freedom. ad i thought it was an ok song and i dont really know why we are learning this perticular song, to me seem's a little bit pointless, but nevermind. then we decided who are doing the one on one singing lessons with sean, im not one of them so yeah.
then we had double drama with nick and we had to finish blocking the parts and learn the script of by heart, so then in the second lesson of drama we were to perform it to the group. rehearsing it was pretty bad, we didnt get much done purely because Yvonne is refusing to be a team player, she keeps moaning that, she don't want to do it, she feel's silly and she also doesnt project we cant here her, so when we got her to project her voice, she made out that she lost her voice, so if she is refusing to be part of it then, i would like to say here and now that when we have finished i do not want to work with her again. i can't make a good performance if people dont give 100 percent she is only giving 10 percent.
then we performed our piece to the group and, it was alright, probably the worst one, from my point of view simply because of Yvonne. but, Nick made some changes to it, and changed mine and Simone's accent, into cornish. so yep it was alright.
This week altogether could have been better and because i werent well i wasnt in on wednesday and friday. and as for the yvonne issue, well all i can say is, you can lead a horse to water, but cant make it drink.
