Show log

Tuesday 5th May
This morning in ballet we were being filmed as part of our assessment, as this is leading up to our assessment I am realising that I need to work on certain parts of the bar work e.g my arabesque and holding myself up properly. I also need to work on finishing my pirouettes more cleanly rather then rushing them and throwing myself off balance. In Commercial we recapped the routine and added on. During this weeks studio time I thought the time was used very well, myself and Shannon started choreograph in our duo with a good strong start, me Millie and Tierney (trio) also managed to start the piece and begin to find and create a bit of a story behind the choreography. 

Wednesday 6th May
During ballet this morning we went over our group show piece and added on, I'm really starting to like this piece I like the chosen piece of music and the vibe bring created with the choreography. In street we went over choreography which had already been taught and learnt a knee section of the group piece. I enjoy this routine as it was my original style before attending stage right, I find it comfortable and enjoyable, although I feel I need to sharpen my movements so they don't look as messy with the speed of the choreography. 

Thursday 7th May
Throughout morning ballet we ran done bar warm ups then practiced our ballet solo pieces for the assessment next week, now I have finished my own choreography I am feeling slightly more confident to perform. In tap now Shannon has been added into the show piece a lot of my sections have been sped up to fit all 4 people in, we also added on choreography and got into the beginning of the chorus. I did struggle with the speed the routine was being recapped but soon picked it up as best as j could. In contemporary I wasn't aware smoke had changed the whole routine and song so I had to start from scratch and learn whilst everyone else recapped, I soon grasped the basics of the beginning of the routine, now need to make adjustments and improve.

Review of Ballet Workshop

I found the workshop abit difficult at times, I struggled to keep up and struggled to understand the teacher. I thought it was a good experience but would have preferred the teacher to teach abit slower and explain more. The workshop has made me realise how quickly some teachers are going to teach in the future and that I will need to get used to the speed of some teachers. At the end of the lesson I got pains in my feet so sat out the end of the lesson and observed.
