Today we had to complete a variety of tasks. However, we began the day with warm ups and breathing exercises, so that we would have enough energy and were relaxed enough to perform. We also participated in a game in which we had to find a way to get to the other side of a jumping rope as it moved. I believe that we did this to test how willing we were to take risks. I didn't volunteer to do it on my own, which I should have. I did however make an attempt in a three and then in a pair. This shows that I need to be more independent when it comes to taking risks. It is good to take risks, especially in devised performances, as quite often, abstract ideas, that work surprisingly well come from risk taking.
Then we ran through act one of 'Cinderella'. At first, my character lacked energy, mainly because I was tired, but I need to stop letting this get in the way of my performance. The second time we ran through 'Cinderella', we had just had a dance warm up and I brought that energy into my performance. I should do this in the morning, so that my character constantly has the right level of energy.
We have started to learn the choreography for the opening song of The Pantomime, 'I've Got a Feeling'. I am improving greatly on picking up choreography and timing, but I need to stop making mistakes, and if I do, I must simply carry on and smile. I can avoid making mistakes in the future by practising the routine at home . I also need to work on getting the moves exactly right, by paying close attention to the choreographer.
