We started off the day differently this week, by seeing who was up-t0-date with their blogs... Ben and Sophie were the only two to complete their blogging about the week before. Miss Hoad decided to get us all motivated for blogging next week by giving out sweets to those who had done their work.
Miss Hoad explained to us briefly about what our blogs are to include, with things like:
- what I have done today
- what I have learned
- strengths and weaknesses
- what I (and my group) need to do next
Today we really needed to crack down and rehearse our performance pieces. We had Annabel coming in at 10am to view our work so far and to help with what we had and what we should do next.
After each group had performed we all explained what was and wasn't successful about our work. After break Annabel gave each group half an hour of help, suggesting things that we could change, or get rid of.
Both groups used technology and we realised that we were all relying on it way more than neccessary. It was easier to let go of the technology... for most people.
Annabel found our first scene
very powerful but then felt that the intensity dragged and got lost very quickly when it moved into the second scene. She suggested, and made, the play more physical, with stylised theatre and audience interaction. She taught Hannah and Nikki a choreographed fight scene that we added "Foo Fighters - All My Life" to for more impact.
By the end of the day things were looking up, with our play finally coming together properly.
We now have two weeks (roughly 12 hours) left until we have to perform to a 'lucky' group of year seven's (:
Next week we have to rehearse, rehearse, rehearse!
