In todays lesson, we created a new routine. This routine is for the part of the show where the Grandmother tells Luke about the witches. Im not too sure whether this routine is going to part of the film playing in the background, or something we perform live in the show. We were separated into our groups from the beginning routine. This included: the Witches, the Pillow Fight, the Playground and a couple of others. As I am one of the witches, we were separated into each of the 'children' groups. I was placed with Ella, Camay, Max and Dylan. This was good as I work well and effectively with these people.
We had to create four counts of eight when the children realise that I was a Witch. It was to involve lots of contact work. Julia suggested that because our group had two boys in it, they should lift me up. However, as Camay could not do one of the moves, her and Dylan swapped so Camay and Max were lifting me instead. Our routine included lots of contact work. Personally, I really liked our routine. It looked good, even though we did not complete the four counts of eight. We were all hard working and worked effectively together. We listened to each others ideas and included everybody's ideas. Although everyone worked really hard, the one person who worked the hardest and created the most amount of our routine was Ella. This was because she had thought about what looked good and what didn't and also what flowed into each move.
Strengths and Weaknesses
In todays lesson, we had Julia and Josie. In this lesson, we were working more on our Dining Room scene, started to learn Josie's new routine and created a new routine. Overall, this lesson was mainly focused around Jazz, however there were some Contemporary elements. Also, as we were making up more routines then performing them, I do not have many strengths and weaknesses. In this post, I will talk about both of my strengths and my weakness and why I think this may be.
Strengths:
- My first strength, which has fluctuated between being a strength and/or weakness, was my stamina. This is because I personally believe it has improved significantly. I know this as I was able to perform more routines without getting tired. I know that stamina will never be an actual 'strength' of mine, however I think for this lesson, it was definitely one. To continue to have this as one of my strengths in lessons, I will continue to dance full out throughout all rehearsals to insure it improves.
- My second and final strength, which is something I have not spoken about before, is my determination. This is because no matter what happens in rehearsals or in the performance, I continue on. This was proven in this lesson when I nearly fell over in one of the routines. I kept going and smiled it off so it was not noticeable. This makes it a strength as some people would stop or show they've gone wrong. To continue to have this as a strength, I will carry on no matter what happens.
Weaknesses:
- My first and only weakness that was noticeable this lesson was my spacial awareness. Although my spacial awareness it usually very good, today proved differently. In todays lesson we were dancing in a large group and there was very little space. I did not think about how much space I had or needed and got too close to people. This made it difficult for not only myself, but others to dance. To improve this, I definitely need to think about how much space I have in comparison to what I need, so I do not effect mine or others routines.
