an interesting and exciting week in btec performing arts....

This week in btec performing arts we've been doing lots of different things. We've had 3 single lessons and a double. Mainly this week we've been working on our group routines so that they are ready for our first performance on friday the 10th December. I've really enjoyed working on the group routines because half way through the week we'd made some of our dance up and we realise that we didnt like it. So we scrapped some of it and re-chorographed it. Now we're happy with it. We've made it so that everyone in the group is able to do the dance and do it well! The other group have finished their dance so now its pressure to get the dance done but we've all got our own idea's to put together which might be challenging but then again it could be a miracle in the making! Our group has a mixture of talents. We can blend them together to create something unique and possible hilarious and cheesy(we'll have to wait and see if our audience likes it). Our music is quite upbeat so we're trying to blend disco and a DV8 style contemporary together. This is hard because we want to make it up beat and unique, but then we want to be daring and flowing. It can be extremely fustrating at times but then other times it can be wonderfull. This week gave me a real insite to what a choreographer has to be like. Not only do you have to create an outstanding peice of choreography but if your dancers cant perform it, theres no point doing that paticular move? Although this was a slightly concerning thought, i had brilliant fun this week. I'm really enjoying performing arts. Especially as i got a distinction on my DV8 essay, I'm very prid of myself. Even if i do say so myself!.

Also in costume construction we have started constructing our costumes! How exciting! I currently have the top half of my skirt, I need to start making my tartan and denim rosette! which will look really effective! during the week i will try to upload a picture of my costume and rosette!
As for now, I'm off. I hope you've enjoyed hearing my week.
