February-



Thursday 2nd February

Due to it being the last rehearsal before our actual performance in drama, the lesson plan was set that my partner and I were to go out with Rob one last time to make sure everything looked okay by tomorrow where all we had to do was go through our lines overnight for it to be perfect, we did multiple run-throughs, where at each run-through we would try and include a new action or facial expression that we haven't added before to make it look believable as well as our scene's much better.

Friday 3rd February

Today was the actual day of our performance for the Dumb Waiter to our audience which was also recorded by Rob.

Monday 6th February

Began the day with Blog catching up from any days I didn't write about last week, then after everyone still went to Rob like a normal lesson where we watched our performances from the Dumb Waiter and was then given a task to write an evaluation about how we thought we performed and how it went. Next everyone went back to Beccas class where each of us went outside and spoke to Abi where we were given information about the courses for next year and if we had an idea of that to do in the future as well as what we need to do to achieve getting into those courses.

Tuesday 7th February

Instead of Robs drama lesson today we had Beccas production lesson instead which resulted in everyone learning early, the materials had arrived for our stages so everyone worked on their own stage.

*From the 7th February until the 20th February it was half term*

Monday 20th February

As it was the begin of arriving after half term, the day began with a blog session where we continued on any blogs trying to add as much detail as we could into them from the previous term

Tuesday 21st February

In Drama we started with our new assignment of "#Weareallimmigrants", we began by writing any words that we knew associated with the word immigrants and what we define it as. Next we began working on the Silent Movie we did last term, we ran through it a couple of times in order to make it better.

In Mandy's lesson we began learning 'Tai Chi' which is a form of Chinese martial arts, we began researching it for examples of where it originated as well as the physically and mental benefits for actors, we began watching videos on YouTube of someone demonstrating the movements including defense as well as attack forms, after watching it we began practicing it for ourselves to later demonstrate to the class,

Thursday 23rd February

In Drama we continued practicing for the silent movies, this included the Cops and Robbers silent movie as well as the others that my classmates created.

Friday 24th February

Blog lesson stayed the same where next for Drama we stayed focused on the #weareallimmigrants project where in todays lesson we got given a sheet with all words and definitions where we then had to come up with three different freeze frames improvising the pros of immigration, the three freeze frames my group and I came up with were along the lines of Asylum, safety as well as Jobs.

Monday 27th February

Just Blogged for this session.

Tuesday 28th February

Today was the day of our Silent movie project piece where we practiced before half term and recently, we spent the best part of our day at the theatre running through it to prepare ourselves for the show later in the evening, at the start of the evening performance when the audience began to arrive a selected few were asked to go outside and be in their characters to then speak to the audience and try and get them to participate, this was then tried out where the audience was asked to join a dance routine, if they knew about stolen goods as well as a guessing game.
