This week in the dance side of performing arts we have been developing our 'All that Jazz' routine. Its a massive group performance that we will do as our finalle dance at our end of term show. This monday we are finding out which song we will be singing in a duet or solo for our assesment. I am slightly bervous because i'm still unsure of where i stand with musical theatre.
We had parents evening and Miss Dolan said that i have nothing to worry about and that i just need to get my confidence up because I can sing I'm just not confident. It will take a bit of time but fingers crossed I'll get there, but so far I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying musical theatre.
Costume Construction.
This week has been a very jam packed week in costume construction and we have been told that our deadline is the 6th of June, which is sacrily close. I've had to catch up a few bits this week because i missed a few mood boards when i was off with chicken pox:( but i'm getting closer to finishing. This week i have sewn my corset together and shaped it properly, measured it around me and a manakin to make sure it looks right, hemmed the edges of my corset so it has a nice finish and i have completed one mood board and am half way thorugh another, all i will have left to do is the decoration.
This shows my corset after i had sewn it together with the sewing machine. It proves i have constructed the garment.
This shows me measuring my corset around a manakin. This proves i have measured it correctly.
This shows me measuring the corset around the manikin to see how much elastic i will need for the back of my corset, for it to fit properly and it to be suitable to dance in.
