Week five in btec performing arts....

Monday 4th October 2010
On Monday, we were in TC3. We had little room, but we did our best. We continued with the work we did last tuesday. The DV8 workshops. 2 of the members of my group werent in so i went in a group with Chloe, Shauna and Alice. We improved our work dramatically. We considered many natural moves and DV8's style. About interlocking and entwined movements. I really enjoyed this lesson because it almost put me in Lloyd Newson's mind. How to think about it properly. It was really difficult and for Lloyd Newson's choreography to look so easy, is amazing. Lloyd Newson was an amzingly clever man for the choreography he created. Although i enjoyed this lesson, i found it difficult. It was really fun to do challenging moves and have trust in each other.

Tuesday was our double lesson. The first lesson we mainly spent discussing assignments and sorting through our portfolio's. We were then shown a slide show which had a selected amount of moves that we had to include on a dance. You had to go in pairs and create a dance. We only got time in this lesson to choreograph a few moves. In the second lesson we continued this dance. It was difficult because we had to interpret what we'd done in mondays lesson into this new choreography! We had to include things like sink to floor back to back without using hands. We havent finished it yet, infact it was so difficult trying to organise the alocated items in the correct order so it flowed took up alot of time. Trying to make it flow was difficult but i enjoyed  the challenging task. The mind frame you had to be in was deep consentration. If you werent focused you would not be able to do this task. i enjoyed this lesson overall.

Thursday's lesson was with Miss Hearne in costume construction. To begin with we were given homework to get samples of the materials we'd researched for previous homeworks. Once we'd been given this homework Miss did a demonstration on how to weave with material and then we did it for ourselves with our own colour scheme. I really enjoyed this lesson because it gave us an insite to the actual costume construstion industry. I learnt in this lesson how to weave and i loved it!

Friday's lesson was our presentations on DV8, it was the deadline for assignment 1 task 1. I did an essay so i gave it in and then talked through my collage. I think i will improve my collage because it was too small. Once my essay has been marked officially, i will post it on here so you can see it. I found out alot doing the essay and Lloyd Newson inspires me!
Overall this week has been amazing!
