Today we took up Annabel's offer to let us go to the Ashcroft Arts Centre and use their Dance Studio for rehearsal. We had a little bit of a problem with the minibuses so we ended up having to get the bus to Fareham. It was £46.80 for the 12 of us as we all had to go as adults, even though Miss Hoad had her teachers badge with her to prove that we were all students... but the annoying bus driver didn't believe us.
We divided the space into two and we each set up our props, including tables, chairs, things from our bags, cameras and computers. We had some good and bad rehearsal time - when we first got there no-one was really in the mood for doing anything so I had to try and motivate my group into doing the work, as I don't want this performance to fail. We rehearsed the play numerous times and, much to their annoyance, made Nikki and Hannah rehearse the fight scene over and over and over again.
I think that I've really come out of my shell in this unit and took charge of the group, even though they really haven't wanted to work I've tried to push them and when they can't be pushed into doing the work I've just got on with my own, and more paperwork to make everything more clear for me, the rest of the group and anyone else who would loo
k at my folder. I really hope that our performance doesn't crash as burn after all the hard work that we've put into it.
Next week we really need to get everything ready for the performances, as we're performing next week! There is still lots and lots of work that needs to be done, but hopefully it will all work.
I really want this performance to go well (fingers crossed)!
