Another week in performing arts, MUSICAL THEATRE!

Dance/Musical Theatre
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.

These pictures show the process of me hemming the edges of my corset from the begining product to the final peice. It hasno decorations yet, but i can say i am very proud of it!
