Today we was all given the running order of the show and therefore I was very pleased that our duo was put in the show case. This then hit reality and we needed to put alot more commitment , communication skills am rehearsal into consideration due to this lacking week on end previously . However when we performed the piece , there is a few parts that need tidying up, however all the choreography is there. Drilling the choreography is the key now due to only having matters of days before the show. When taking critisim of peers and teachers , the only critisim is not to think about what is next , and not to pout when performing my solo part, I never knew I did this before but have taken this into consideration and now I am characterising each performance with different faces that are suitable,
; eg
House- dead happy, smiling
In the second half the 2nd year actors came in to see what dances they liked for there cabaret . I got the choreography mixed up and kicked myself for this due to getting it spot on previous, however ; at the end a 2 nd year asked me if my name was opal and said they really liked my duo , due to this it has positively increased my self esteem about my duo as I felt it was not at a Hugh standard . Fingers crossed that it goes into the cabaret due to this being a life time opportunity and lots of fun, getting into the Christmas spirit.
28/11
The past few weeks after taking the critisim into consideration . I felt I have over complicated things for our duo. We re edited the music and therefore this took a while we're we could have just been working on the dynamics not musicality , I lacked confidents a few weeks ago with performing to an audience, however once I had spoken my problems to my partner. We then went Back to a professionalism and worked hard. Our mind was set on choreographing the rest of the piece. Due to Kat explaining this has potential to go in the show case.

assignment solo
SOLO
Reflecting back on my solo performance, I felt that I spent to much time worrying about the musicality than the actual movement. Therefore due to this on reflecting my performance I knew I could of performed a lot better.
Once performing my solo on Wednesday, afterwards I had a very negative feeling, I knew I could of performed it a lot better, and wanted to reperform my solo.
I felt the dynamics should have been a lot stronger and due to this is made the moves not as powerfull as they should of, and therefore it did not correspond with the tempo of the music, by hitting certain beats.
Watching the clip of my solo, I felt it shown understanding of musicality, as well as a different knowledge of international dance styles,
The dance styles that I had interpreted into my Solo were ;
strengths of the performance were; I was able to indentify different styles and interpret them into my dance piece, from when I was given the assignment I felt that I worked independently and started to structure my piece, starting with styles, then musicality. This helped a lot as I like to have a structure or guide to help me, and during the process I would be able to identify if I was developing my progress.
I completed the assignment on the correct date, as well as having the appropriate time management, of 2 minutes 17 seconds.
weaknesses ; I felt I did not put enough characterisation into the piece, and therefore lacked a lot of motion and precise movement. In some sequences my house style looked messy and therefore the dynamics were not developed 100%.
improvement; If I had the chance to perform the piece again, I would take each style and drill the movement full out throughout the whole sequence, by doing this the timeing aswell as movement will be performed to a high standard. But the theme/ story to my dance is I am A puppet that has came alive, escapeing from the box into the wide world, the dynamics were showing this, however, to get into more characterisation, I would dress up as a puppet with full on make -up to show this.
Rosario gave me quick feedback, and explained that the musicality was there, as well as herself being able to identify my story before I physically told her, this therefore made me happy and positive that she got the story from entering the stage, however she explained a lot more performance, I knew I needed to do this and make the moves much more sharper and bigger with a performance face.
I think I lacked confidents when performing my solo piece, as I did not know what to expect, however I am now going to take all this into consideration for all my other performances.

21st October
In todays lesson, Korneilia presented the warm up, ready to start learning Tango. Today we recapped on Tango that we had performed last week. However I developed my Technique through tango, We was put into partners to perform the 8 steps. I throught from learning this step as well as Tango as a whole I have picked up the movement and technique fast. I do not struggle to perform the dance, alot of the movement is performed from the control of your core. You need to hold up yourself with an adjust lift from the heels to present yourself upright and high.
When learning the 8 step we was put into groups, I was in the girls side, this is were we learnt the 8 step, I felt that I picked up the movement fast and due to this my self- esteem was positive and I wanted to learn more. I was told about character shoes, and this will help on developing the movements more positive due to not wearing trainers, it will look much more elegant and with alot more Force and sharpness.
Once learning the 8 step, we went into partners, this was performed continously, this was good due to it being drilled and staying in my head better with the correct counts.
Strengths and weaknesses of Tango ;
I remembered the previous sequence of Tango movement so I could interpret the movement into the new sequence
I felt im getting more confident with learning new styles and getting a good pisitive self - esteem and motivation.
I worked efficiently with my Partner and we got the steps and control correct.
Weaknesses; I have still got alot of technique to learn, yet I need to remember to stand up straight with an excellent posture making sure that I engage the core.
I had 40 minutes to start developing my Solo alot more. During my own time I started to draw up a structure of how I was going to begin aswell as the different styles I was going to engage into the dance. I felt by presenting this it helped me alot today as I was not wasteing any time, I could straight away start my choreography, and movements that I had already thought of to see if they go. I have the first 20 seconds of my dance solo, yet I am developing alot of this in my own time, and not knowing how close the deadline is, during the holidays I want to be able to finish my Solo, so when I come back during lesson time, I can perfect and drill my solo,k making sure it is at a High standard ready to perform in November.

Today I lead the warm- up I felt confident on this and was pleased with the outcome. I got assesed by Sammi, and hopefully would of got positive feedback from this.
Today in Rosarios class I explored movement skills, this was based on the floor, we each had a matt and would interpret movement demonstrated by rosario. I really enjoyed this and gained into the activity well. I felt that this exercise was very relaxing, even though I was still stretching.
We then went over the Maculele dance, today we was going to finish the piece, and start engaging in technique and stamina for this routine, as this is a must due to not learning this dance style before.
I felt confident and like the Maculele dance, as it is a new style and I want to interpret this ready for further education in dance.
Strengths; I remembered the choreography from last week, due to this I was confident to move on to learn the last bit of choreography ready for the show. Rosario taught me the last piece of the dance and therefore the structure for this was different that what you would normally follow.
At the start we started learning the middle section, then the end and then we learnt the start. I learnt different teachers, teach differently, depending on the circumstances like time, ability.
Once performing the Maculele dance, we then interpreted the sticks that we will be using in the show, this felt much more natural using these, due to previous rehearsals we had to perform all the arm movements even though we did not physically have the sticks. After half of the lesson we then got seperated into different groups, this was to start are solo's, as we had been given the assingment now and only have a matter of week to choreograph.
I was in the first group so I had just over 30 minutes to start looking up songs and start choreographing, therefore that was not enough time, so I need to choreograph in my own time.
Weakness; By not drawing up a guidence for my solo, I struggled to start my piece as I did not know were to start, yet I did not want to waste any time, so I looked / researched into songs that I like and can choreograph to.
Todays lesson was useful, and I have a full understanding of what I need to do for my Solo, as well as rehearsing the Maculele dance because this has now been finished.
