ROCK CHALLENGE!
Well we went to Stevenage on the 15th February to showcase our performance as we are premier league now. Even though we were showcasing everything had to be perfect because we could get excellence awards. The more awards we got the more points we take with us to Portsmouth when we compete. The more points we take with us the better chance we have of winning! The day was amazing the feeling is incredible, the adrenalin rush when your on stage, showing the other schools why we're premier league. I enjoyed the production meetings as it gives you a chance to bond as a school but you also get to know the other schools that are there. I also liked watching the other schools rehearsal on stage as it gives you ideas and it lets you see other peoples talents. Overall the day is great and i cant wait to get to Portsmouth!
Well i haven't blogged in a while! the past few weeks we've taken a break from bhangra and because rock challenge was close we helped paint the set. I really enjoyed doing this because it gave us an insight to the other side of the performing arts industry! I also enjoyed it because i love rock challenge! When painting the set we had to concentrate very hard because, this was going on stage and could get us awards. And awards help our over all score when we get to Portsmouth to compete against all the other premier league schools. We've had lots of rehearsals and a few dress rehearsals. I think rock challenge has helped me in terms of the performing arts course because you get a chance to perform on stage to a live audience, you have to have acting skills to portray your character and also you watch the other schools so you can watch them to help improve your own performance.
This week was kind of a summary week! We polished everything and it looks really good and really professional. We have really worked hard on the issolation section and that looks really good. I am really enjoying bhangra. For part of our homework we were told that we had to research Bhangra. I am really liking finding out the details of Bhangra! Its so interesting!
In costume design we continued working on our skirts, I made a few rosettes and made sure they were stuck together properly and they were durable.
Although this week hasnt been much, it has definitley improved my perseption on Bhangra, cant wait to continue as its so different from all the usual things and styles i usually do!
