As now all the cinemas are closed this means there is no event cinema and no cinema generally but because of the amount of option that we have even if people are self isolating we still have a lot of choice and to watch movies and TV shows and sometimes even musicals. As we have lots of streaming services to pick rom and use the existing two of Netflix and Amazon Prime are both very good for films and TV shows and have a wide variety of entertainment for the people ate home. One company that will profit a lot from the UK self isolating for the next few weeks is Disney plus as it was released just a day after the three week period started and it has a very wide collection of all Disney movies, TV shows, recent and ones from the past, it has Marvel content as well Star Wars and new TV shows from both will be added to it. Furthermore it has a whole section for documentaries and learning so we can learn about the world and what is out their whilst we can't experience it and finally because Disney have made some in the past there is some musicals that are available to watch on the app ones such as; High school musical, Encore, The Sound of Music, Newsies and many more so people can still enjoy theatre and get entertained from home without leaving.

The Paris Opera house has also been a victim of the closures around the world of theatres due to the Covid-19 but they are doing all they can to give people the chance to still enjoy opera from home, occurring to vouge the Paris Opera house will be showing great opera classics online for free which people can enjoy from the comfort from home.

As the current climate means that theatres have closed some websites and organisations are making sure theatre audiences don't miss out so 'Filmed on Stage' is a website that is showing musicals for free in times when we are not allowed to get the theatre and watch them so they have now given us this option. They have a wide variety of performances that were filmed on stage from musicals to plays and even concerts as well this is good for theatre audiences as they can still enjoy what they normally would.

Doing lessons online has its pros and cons for the teachers, students and company as a whole. The pros for teachers and students are that the classes are still running, the teachers are still delivering the best classes possible and the students are still getting taught the best they can do while being online. The pros for the company are that they can still keep running their classes and trying to run as a company. There are still many cons though to this online learning one of them for drama is that we can’t block any pieces out, we can’t do any movement exercises, or we can’t improve the student’s physicality and gestures because of not having the space. The lesson being online means the students are losing out on actual social integration, it is good that they can talk one another over facetime but actual physical interaction will be lost for the students and this will hinder them in the future.

Alternatively, we could use google classroom, this is also owned by the big search engine, it was released a year after Google hangouts on 12th of August 2014. It aims to simplify creating, distributing and grading assignments. It combines google drive, google docs, sheets, slides, Gmail and google calendar. You can use a private code to join a class which would work for Helen O’ Grady as we could have a private code per class and if we could video call on this app it would be perfect as we could share work and share scripts through the app and help students progress. Whatever app we use we need to be able to video all the students so a teacher can see them and show them the activities we could do. Activities we could do would have to focus on working the confidence and vocal skills of the students as we can’t really do movemnet as not all the students will have the space to do this. Lessons will change depending on the age of the students for the youngest class that we teach the ages range from 4 to 8 so we should focused on poems and just small spoken word pieces to improve the confidence of the students as we can a small part of text like we do in lesson and get the students to learn it through practice then give certain lines to students as we do in lesson and get them to say out loud by themselves as this improves confidence and we can do this online as well. Furthermore, the lines we can say can work on different aspects of the voice and the little ones pronunciation and diction as when at a young age these are two skills that need to continuous development for the children, small tongue twisters would be good for this for example one line ‘articulation is a form of gymnastics between the tip of the tongue the teeth and the lips’. This sentence can be good for articulation because of how you say it and the faster you say it the harder it becomes; this sentence can also be used for older classes as well. Just to finsh off talking about the younger class we would emephaize different words in sentences and try to work through them slowly and seeing how each student pronounces and them and how well their diction is. Every week if this online learning continues, we could give a task to go away and do at home then the week after show back to the class.

For the older classes you will again have to work on voice and vocal production but of course you can focus on more complex skills as the students are older, I feel what I mentioned for the younger class this can be done as a warm up for the older ones just to get them thinking about articulation, diction and pronunciation. Then we would work on some more complex tongue twisters such as ‘she stood upon her balustraded balcony inexpiably mimicking him hiccupping’ and then move onto looking at the pace of the voice by saying the very famous phrases ‘red lorry, yellow lorry’ and see how fast students can say this but it still sounds like words. We could also work on accents for the students as this is a very valuable skills to have and do exercises like giving some students a sentence and accent then having others guess the accent this can be also done when with different emotions as well. Then, we can get them to work on scripts and get them learn lines and do read throughs and learn when and where events will occur as for Helen O’ Grady the summer term is when we do our final production so we can just prepare for this best we can.

If I had the power to decide what and how we will run these classes after my research I have few ideas how to do this in best possible way and what activities to do and ones that we can do online as this is quite difficult for drama classes to do this. It is a lot easier to do dance classes online as you can copy a teacher and the moves you do as you can dance solo and this a way how the professionals train they train solo and can practice and train themselves. With acting this is different and more difficult to do drama with no one else in the room unless you just learning lines but actually trying to teach a class is even more difficult as you can’t physically interact with people just hear and see them. If I could control the online classes I would use google hangouts or google classroom. Google Hangouts is owned by google and is a communication software product, it was originally part of google + and then became a standalone app on the 15th of May 2013, over time the features from other google apps, google +, google messenger and google talk. I think this app will work for our classes as because it is similar to how texts work so parents and even their kids could understand how to work it. Google Hangouts has this layout and it does look similar to a contact book and you can just scroll through and find whoever you want to talk to and create a group and have video calls and send messages and we could create groups per class, furthermore now that google hangouts has stopped being used for enterprise companies it is now focused on just the general public it may be quicker and faster than before.

Helen O’ Grady as I’ve mentioned is drama company that was created by the woman with that name it is a worldwide company that aims to encourage students to grow in confidence within themselves and to develop communication skills as well. They have been doing these practical classes ever since 1979 when the company was first set up in Australia. Sadly now due to current climate things have had to change massively as having a drama class can be classes as not only a mass gathering it is also in the eyes of the government an unessential activity to they have been shut down for the foreseeable future, which will widely affect the students, teachers and company as a whole moving forward. The classes I used to teach at before they were closed have tried to combat this closing down by moving online. Their aim is to continue the good work the classes do but to move them online due to the closure of all the classes even after trying to follow the health guidelines. The online classes will consist of mainly improving the students social and communication skills as teaching drama online is very difficult thing to do when drama is mainly done in groups but nevertheless, they will continue to teach and improve their students. At this moment in time even I don’t know exactly how we will run the classes as we need to sort out a platform first then a structure for each of the different age groups of classes so they will be beneficial and different.

From my research of my own local theatres I personally think the most popular theatre genre at the moment looks like contemporary this because their has been quite a range of pieces but there has been a pattern and this pattern is there is most contemporary pieces than others. I think this is because people like to see new pieces and new ideas and not the same old shows over and over again. The only other type of theatre hat is recurring throughout the theatres I looked at was musicals these have always been quite popular and I'm sure will remain so because of the vast amount of choice within the genre

# data[].attributes.body
With most of the world in disarray and the UK now on lock down due to Covid-19 this means that theatres and cinemas are closed for the foreseeable future which means all these shows I've talked about have been postponed or could be cancelled for good. This means it has changed how the consumer(audience) consumes their theatre and what some theatres have been doing to combat this lack of shows and lack funds as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The other aspect to what theatre audiences want nowadays is comfort. This relates to event cinema which I mentioned across. Audiences are caring less about the experience of going to the theatre and will watch good acting and good show from anywhere and are less bothered where this is, which is how event cinema has thrived. Audiences would I feel nowadays choose comfort over experience any day as with things becoming more expensive people wnat to have the possible time and the easiest possible experience and watching theatre in your local cinema is a lot easier than travelling somewhere to watch it in a cramp packed theatre.

# data[].attributes.body
When I say choice I refer to the amount of variety there is in theatres these days and the amount of different genres of theatre that are focuses upon as without research I thought most shows were quiet similar and bland and theatres especially smaller ones like Derby didn't have much choice to offer but after researching what shows are actually being put on. I now know that there is a vast choice of performances at all theatres and these performances are popular because of each other. As each performance wants to be popular and most of them are quite unique which means they all target a different sector or age range of audience members and with these different members going to different shows it creates popularity for all the shows which is good thing, of course there will cross over so someone could go see 'Treasure 'Island and 'Ladykiller' at Derby Theatre but this still will help both shows with ticket sales and if that person likes both and talks about both it will increase popularity for them

# data[].attributes.body
From my research I have now found out exactly what theatre audiences want nowadays. I think it comes down to two main aspects choice and comfort

In this day and age there's more than one way to do anything including watching theatre and watching live theatre as well as now cinema chains like Showcase have something which has been named as Event cinema. This just means when 'events' are on somewhere around the world you can watch it in your local cinema. Event Cinema doesn't just show live theatre it shows recorded theatre and you can go watch a range of theatre from the comfort of a cinema. This shows that people in modern times are accessing their theatre differently to how they used to and from my research I can see that theatre audiences want a lot different to what they used to. They're a range of pieces being shown at Showcase's event cinema they range from a Matthew Bourne directed ballet piece, a national theatre piece and a performance by the Royal Shakespeare Company and thats just to name a few. This shows the diversity in theatre that on show from a cinema chain now and how's that the audience have changed their needs over the last few years. As traditionally going to theatre was a big thing people would go there watch something they thought was going to good and it was an event and experience in itself but not audiences would rather give up that experience to watch theatre in a far more comfy surroundings. Looking at event cinema with a different perspective it can be looked at in a good light as you wanted to see something that was half way across the world and you knew you couldn't get their event cinema can come in handy and it then because watchable. It isn't just Showcase who out this one as you can see Odeon Cinema also have this feature which benefits people greatly

Nimax Theatres are a theatre company who own a lot of different theatres especially ones in London, one theatre they own in the Duchess Theatre which is where I went to go see 'THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG'. Nimax Theatres clearly are a very famous theatre company as I can tell from looking at the shows that are put on at their theatres as they have very worldwide famous shows such as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Everyone's Talking about Jamie. This shows how different these theatres are to every other one that I've looked at as they clearly only show high end shows that high budget and will be very popular which increases the income. That is something I have mentioned that popularity so show affects the income in brings for the people who have put all the effort in to make the show and for the theatre that is hosting it. So the intention for every show is also that it is made to be as popular as it can be so the income can be bigger, this task is sometimes easier with some performances than others as for 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' income is easy as it is a worldwide phenomenon but for others such as 'THE PLAY GOES WRONG' shows like this rely on the reviews and word of mouth to get the traction it needs. For all the theatres they want very show to be popular as it looks better on the company and the theatre and increases the income as well, furthermore if one companies show does well and is popular this gives them good will and would be more likely to be able to do more.

Nottingham Theatre Royal is the most different theatre I've looked at compared to the others I think this is because it is the biggest and the most famous theatre and has a lot shows but the shows are quite similar. For example on at the Theatre Royal there are two musicals on at the moment 'Mamma Mia' and 'Six' these are two very different musicals. 'Mamma Mia' is the story that everyone has heard and is a very fun family friendly musical that could be for all the family even though it has adult undertones, it is fun light hearted musical that everyone can enjoy. 'Six' is a musical only released a few years ago but it is Henry VIII's six wives and their version of the story and what happened. These musicals are very different but they are going for similar audiences in musical lovers which does affect how popular they could be and furthermore that 'Mamma Mia' has the history it does this could affect how popular 'Six' will be. Furthermore, Nottingham Theatre Royal clearly has an affiliation with Opera North who are an Opera group who have a lot shows and performances scheduled at the Theatre Royal. This again is very different to the other theatre as they both didn't have any Opera at them and especially didn't work with an Opera group but this come impact how well each Opera show does as I feel it is quite niche market and small target audience so will they all come watch four Opera shows or will some of them lose popularity because of this.

# data[].attributes.body
After my research into the shows and how popular they are at this theatre, I've found that there are lot of different shows on at Leicester Curve I would say even more variety then Derby Theatre. One thing that is similar is that they all seem quite popular or at least quite hyped for when they are released. At Leicester Curve they have a large variety of shows as Crooners for example is very different to DNA but they both look very hyped to be released because they targeting completely different audiences and the shows differ as none of them are massive blockbuster shows but they are have their own niche markets and are looked to attract a certain target audience

# data[].attributes.body
'A group of teenagers do something bad, really bad, then panic and cover the whole thing up. Designed for young people and performed by CYC Act 12+, DNA is a sometimes hilarious, sometimes dark look at when ‘it’s just a prank’ goes wrong and the chain of explosive events that follow.' This is an contemporary piece based on Dennis Kelly's book and is about a group of teenagers and it is aimed at teenagers which is a different demographic to other shows that upcoming at the Curve.

# data[].attributes.body
'Crooners is the music show bringing all your much-loved, Big Band hits to the stage with a splendiferous injection of hilariousness! Packed with personality and humour, Crooners has been wowing audiences with its witty and exhilarating show full of hilarious one-liners, laugh-out-loud silliness and much loved crooner classics as they weave their way through an impressive back catalogue of hits including Come Fly With Me, Beyond the Sea, Fly Me to the Moon, Mac the Knife and many, many more.' This is a completely different type of show to any I've research at any of the other theatres as it doesn't have a storyline its just pure music but again this can also be popular as people go to theatre for entertainment as this looks very entertaining and from the review I looked at it looks like 'Crooners has been wowing audiences with its witty and exhilarating show full of hilarious one-liners, laugh-out-loud silliness, outrageous tap routines and superb musical numbers with the outstanding nine-piece The Mini Big Band live on stage.'

'Now set in 2020, this sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, sisterhood and music tells the hilarious story of the disco diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she won’t be found – a convent!  Disguised as a nun and under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.' This version of Sister Act is the Broadway and UK smash hit and shows that musicals can be reimagined and worked into the modern day. It shows that again at this theatre many different types of theatre is popular as they all aren't trying to attract the same audience

# data[].attributes.body
This an adaption of George Orwell's very famous book that is one of the most famous around. It has been adapted for theatre, 'Surveillance, identity and propaganda were Orwell’s fiction but are now our reality. In the age of ‘alternative facts’ and ‘fake news’, 1984 is startlingly relevant.' This book is very relevant in todays society and would get popularity at the theatre because of this and how much it has gotten right about the world we live in. I'm sure it will get very good reviews and will show that Orwell got so much right about the time we live in. This piece is very different to Frantic Assemblies as it doesn't aim to pull on heartstrings or emotions it just wants to tell the story that was written so long ago. This review for the show says that it was 'It is no mean feat to offer a new perspective on a familiar work. That, however, is what Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan, as joint creators of this new version of George Orwell's famous novel, have ingeniously done. But, while this co-production between the Almeida, Headlong and Nottingham Playhouse makes exciting viewing, it also raises a nagging concern.' This review gave the show four out of five stars and it shows material from long ago can be remade into something good.

# data[].attributes.body
'Frantic Assembly are celebrating their 25th Anniversary and are returning to Curve with a brand new production, I Think We Are Alone by Sally Abbott, co-directed by Kathy Burke and Scott Graham. Two sisters are estranged and bicker over text. Their brittle and aggressive language is pushing them further apart when what they really want is to meet, clear the air and talk about the event that happened when they were young girls and haunt them still.' This is a show that clearly isn't a comedy and more of thriller, it wants to be hard hitting and tap into the audiences emotions.
The review across mentions that ' I Think We Are Alone swells with the simple, difficult, important desire for connection.' It got 3 stars out of 5 which shows it was quite good but had its flaws as well.

# data[].attributes.body
These are two screenshots of all the shows that are on now or upcoming at the Curve theatre there is so many and again I think there's a wide variety of genres and styles of theatre on offer.

# data[].attributes.body
After my research I can see that just at this one theatre there are so many different shows on that all are so popular for different reasons. I think mainly one of the reasons that all these shows are so popular is that because they are all so different and they all cater to all ages and types of audience members. It helps each show that they all don't target the same type of audience and each show is a different genre or at least tackles a different side to an already popular genre.

'Four seasons, four people, from four corners of the world, and a teenage girl’s message in the sky. The strange city folds and unfolds around them, like a maze of paper: a story that opens up like a book to get lost in. They haven’t found the ending yet, but they know it will have to be something extraordinary. A powerful new play by Lindsay Rodden, HERE is about finding sanctuary in the unlikeliest of places. About dancing on rooftops, blossom in winter, and re-writing the story of the city as your own.' This is another upcoming show is a bit of drama and follows to friends with library card and the show will entertain all. It hasn't released yet but just that it is upcoming shows again the variety in shows on at Derby

# data[].attributes.body
LadyKiller is about 'A hotel room, a maid and a dead woman. It’s not what it looks like, really, it’s not. It was self-defence… and anyway the woman was asking for it. The chambermaid considers herself to be a pretty normal person; she reads books. She pretended to read the party manifestos at the General Election. She’s even read The Psychopath Test and she’s pretty sure she’s not one so...' This is another different show its for 16's and older only as its from the horror genre and can be very gruesome. Its very popular because of this contemporary style of piece and sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this does mean it has comedy elements within it but it shows a different side to the genre that people don't usually see before which adds to the popularity of it. 'Taken at face value Ladykiller is simply very entertaining – especially for those of us who laugh at all the ‘wrong’ things – but it also says a lot about gendered expectations and violence. Women aren’t evil. Apart from when they really, really want to be.' The review does mention that even though it is 'a very funny and refreshingly offbeat comedy' it has one flaw it is a little bit too long which shows its isn't perfect but can still be popular with flaws.

# data[].attributes.body
This is another that upcoming show at Derby Theatre it is comedy about 'Phoebe Throssel lives on Quality Street, the bustling hub of a quaint northern town where she runs a school for unruly children. Ten years since a tearful goodbye, an old flame returns from fighting Napoleon. But the look of disappointment on Captain Valentine’s face when he greets a more mature, less glamorous Phoebe, spurs our determined heroine to action.
She becomes the wild and sparkling Miss Livvy, a younger alter-ego who soon entraps the clueless Captain. As their romance is rekindled'  This show is very different to the other two as they are drama and family friendly show but this is mainly focused on being comedic and already I am seeing the variety in popularity of the shows that are upcoming at Derby Theatre

# data[].attributes.body
Treasure island is a different genre to Crongton Knights as it is more family friendly and is inspired by the original treasure island that we all know and love. This version includes songs and live music as well to add to the fun for all. It has been set by Derby Theatre to release just before Easter Weekend this will hopefully for them increase the chance of people taking their kids to go see it as they will be off school and its clearly aimed at children and this shows already the variety of two of the most upcoming and popular shows on at Derby theatre now.

# data[].attributes.body
Crongton Knights is one of the featured shows on a derby theatre and it is a contemporary theatre piece that has thriller aspects to it as it contains so very modern ways of moving the story along by having songs and not only songs but rapping and the cast actually beatboxing on stage this adds to the story but also the setting and tone of the piece as it is set in Crongton Estate which seems from the trailer and scenery they have a very down trodden place to live. Here is a review of Crongton Knights from when it was shown at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry and the review was written by The Stage. This review explains that the show is very moving at its best and it can tug on the heartstrings of the audience, the songs and beatboxing add to this and make the audience really feel for the charcters and the journey they go on.

# data[].attributes.body
These two screenshots show the amount of shows on at Derby Theatre currently and there is a lot and they are all very different. This shows the variety in the shows that are on as they are not all musicals or all the same genre like comedy their is wide variety just in the featured shows let alone the rest.

# data[].attributes.body
Nowadays Theatre audiences have the chances to watch and enjoy a wide range of theatre and different theatre genres this is because at theatres there is such a variety of shows to watch and for audiences to experience as well. Each theatre as their own line up of shows and some may cross over but mostly they are unique so each theatre can entice audiences to come to them and not others.

How will gaining more skills develop your ability to be successful at getting into the performing arts industry?

# data[].attributes.body
Gaining my skills will develop my ability to be successful at getting into the performing arts industry because if I complete all my targets I will have gain a lot of different and unique skills and I would have tried my hand some different acting styles that I have never attempted before so this means I would have experienced new styles of acting and be a more experienced actor but also have more knowledge of acting styles and the practitioners that go with them. So, when going into the industry I may have an advantage on others as I can draw upon the skills that I will learn from the completion of my targets to help me get a foot on the ladder of the very competitive performing arts world, furthermore it helps that all my targets relate to different types of acting so I am not just trying to improve one aspect of myself as an actor but all aspects instead.

Why will these help towards your career goal? 

# data[].attributes.body
I think these targets help me towards my career goal as they will generally just mean that I will gain a lot of new skills throughout the process of completing these targets as I will develop my acting and add different acting styles to my skills. I will develop my comedic timing from these targets and not just my comedic timing with my voice but with my movement and body language as well which are skills I don’t currently have but these targets will put me on the path to improving as an actor. Furthermore, the targets I set can all be completed by May and will have shown a vast improvement in acting. All these improvements will help me greatly towards my career goal which is just making it into the industry as an actor or doing teacher as I will need a lot strings to my bow if I want to go into acting and I need to be a versatile diverse actor to be able to teach others what I know and I need to have a vast experience and knowledge of acting styles to do this.
