Getting to know people more, and getting into the plays and musicals

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Talking to the people in my tutor and class, I think I got to know people better during the activities and can hopefully develop on that

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
I’m having the time of my life with these people, every moment was so fun

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
Doing more acting like today, and getting better at the activities

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Spending time with more people, and the activities that we got up to

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
That I’m really enjoying the lessons so far

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
Talking to people again and being in class

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Getting to know even more people, got to know more people better today such as Jeffrey, Lacy and Pasha

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
That it may take ages to finally reach the yoga poses fully, but I’m going to get there eventually 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Be sure to use this format to help you think about what to write. It's lovely to see you're enjoying the course. I have changed the questions on Padlet to help you structure your posts a bit. Well done Dean!!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My aims are to find out what groups I’m going to be in for these Monday projects, and work as a team with the group to have a great result. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we watched through School of Rock and found out that the main song from it is what we will be working on for the Monday sessions. Us drama students have to analyse the characters, and our end result will be a flash mob performance in collaboration with the music students. We also voted for and found out what we will be doing for the other Monday lessons, including a mix of just dance, karaoke and yoga and working with the music students on music videos. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
Something that could of been improved on for me personally is the communication towards the music students, as besides a brief question or statement, not much was said. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
Something I enjoyed today was seeing School of Rock for the first time, something I’ve been hoping to see for a while, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, probably a top 5 musical for me. I also spent a lot of time building upon my friendship with Pasha, a highlight of my day today. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to understand myself more and learn where my positive qualities are and to not doubt myself as much.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory and did things such as writing about ourselves, our goals, our experience with performing arts, and where we see ourselves. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
Believing in my positive traits and identifying them.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
Me and liv had a conversation about our past experiences on stage, and me and Jeffrey had a laugh about ours. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to increase my range and be able to do more songs

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we learned about democracy and had a vote, and learned techniques for singing and sung gimme gimme gimme and greased lightning. We also had theory at the start about research and plagarism. Edit: we sung with the extendeds, and I thought it went really well

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
I could improve on some notes as some blended in with others and I’ve not found out their pausing time yet

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I could do the techniques well, completing them better than I thought I could, and sung gimme gimme gimme really well

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
YEAAAAHHHHH this is amazing Padleting. Practically you are working really well and should be proud!!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
To get a more consistent movement and singing when performing.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we did theory with Sophie that carried on our research for mamma Mia, and I updated wix to include all the information. We also practiced our performance and tried both singing and dancing together for the first time. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
I could improve the timing of my movements as we’ve started mixing both the singing and the dancing. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed my communications with people, as I had great conversations with several people. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to improve on the second half of the dancing side of the performance and get more emotion facially while doing it. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we did theory with Ryan on our research, and I added images to my research. We worked on our performance and did it infront of Sophie. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
To get into the party mood more when practicing both parts, and learning more of the dancing side to it, although I feel like we were going a bit too quick and it was difficult to learn it at the pace we were. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
We really got into our performance while dancing and acting like we were at a party, and it was the time of my life it was amazing.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target for tomorrow is to increase my volume at a consistent rate and get closer to our performance’s final product.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we found out that we are no longer doing school of rock with the music students, which was a shame but we did circus aerobics (I can’t remember what it was called). We did all sorts of exercises and forms involving people standing on each other. The second half of the day was the music students going off with their teachers, while they basically left us to it. Me, Paris and Lilly stuck together for the second half of the day, and achieved what we could. The day ended off with rehearsals in the dance studio after college, involving a couple people. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I’d like to work on is some of the forms from the first half of the day, as some were not able to be completed. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I think I did well in the circus aerobics(?), even though some were too slippery to do. I also enjoyed the time spent with Paris and Lilly in the second half, that being a highlight today. I also enjoyed the rehearsal after college with a couple people, and got support from Kay to increase my volume. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to perfect the next section of the dance and finalise it.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we went through the final part of the wix site with Sophie, going over the industry roles and completing the section. This padlet is a day late because my phone was stuck in college overnight and i got it back the next day. We also practised our projects with each other and worked with each other to give ourselves feedback. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
Something I’d like to work on is finding out what I’m doing in the theory sessions, as I feel like I’ve completed my wix work and I’m not sure where to go from here. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
We each went through each others projects and helped through it, including Paris going through the grease lightning dance as the level 3s who were doing the choreography beforehand scrapped the previous dance Sophie taught, and they only have 2 weeks until our performance. It looked amazing in my opinion, and I think it would be the best version going forward. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to get a lot of plans written down and bring them to discussion next week. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we did theory with Josh as Ryan still wasn’t back, and after that we did some yoga with Sophie and then had dance at the end of the day. We watched each others performances and helped each other on feedback. Some of us stayed behind for rehearsal.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing that needs to be worked on is our schedule, as our due date was cut from the 22nd to the 15th, less than two weeks away.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I loved watching the greased lightning performance by the other group, I’m so excited to see them perform it when the time comes. Also just being with people there was a highlight for me. 

# data[].attributes.body
Smile

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
You are doing fantastic on the padlet well done!!!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to get everything ready for next weeks performance.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we did juggling and other circus tricks in the first half of the day, creating our own balls to practice with. In the second half, we practiced both dances the best we could. Ajax wasn’t in e+m skills, so I did a temp Danny for practicing. I also went out with a few of the people in our course to Costa after college. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
Something that could be improved is our timings for certain parts and getting ready for next week. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed spending the time with the people that were present during both lessons. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to perfect the acting for the start and finish the song. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we did theory with Sophie, and went through a list with things on the list we needed to complete. We also talked in a circle with Ryan as he came back today, and he helped each group with our projects. We had dress rehearsals today, and went through what we wear and what we don’t wear. The day ended with opening day, and me and a few other people stayed behind and did mamma Mia and grease. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I could improve on is my projection and learning how loud I need to be.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed the acting side of what we did today, and enjoyed the work we did during the dress rehearsals. I also enjoyed spending my breaks with some of the people in the course today, including Liv, Paris and Kay among others. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to be ready for next week, as after today’s full performance run through it’s proven to be a challenge

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Ryan, and I’m now going through my site again to see if I can add any more. Our timetable got changed around again today, as we interviewed two dance teachers to see which one would be better for the job. I voted for the first one when it was time to vote. We then had practice for the rest of the day for our projects, marking one week left for our project. I stayed behind for rehearsal after college, went through a section of the dance with Kayla, and practiced singing when everyone was gone. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I need to improve on is doing everything together, as when we went through our performance it started to fall apart a little bit as we hadn’t gone through everything together yet. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed spending time with the people in the course today during my breaks, such as Paris, Lilly and the others. I also enjoyed practicing singing afterwards, as it felt freeing to practice somewhere where I don’t have to restrain myself. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target for tomorrow is to be ready for the true final day for our project. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we honestly didn’t do that much, we relaxed in the first half of the day because our assessment is this week, and in the second half we did what we could, but ended up watching the level 3s. After college, I spent the evening with pasha. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I’d like to improve on is putting the vocals and dances together. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed spending time with people today, such as Jeffrey, Paris among others. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to be prepared for tomorrow, no matter what’s going to happen, and bring the energy needed to get myself the best grade I can. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Josh as Ryan and Sophie weren’t in, and I had my work checked through and the final adjustments were made with some feedback. After that we had practice for our assessment tomorrow, including the finale of the dance, and going through the singing and the dancing again. It was great, and we were all having fun. We watched each others performances, and we also did things like singing on our own to know how each of us sound like when we sing. After that we all stayed together until we went home. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I need to improve on is working on acting and singing. We’re so close to being ready I can feel it, but we need to use that time tomorrow as much as we can. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
When we each sang on our own to see how we sound, the grease group walked in just before I was about to have a go. I decided to sing something that wasn’t gimme gimme gimme, and went with a jazz version of the song ‘Can You Feel the Sunshine?’. I already had the song up before the group came in, so that happening was pretty much perfect timing. As I sang, i assumed Liv would know it since we’re both interested in the franchise it came from, but i had no idea it was one of her favourite songs, and seeing her face light up when the song came on was truly a highlight of today. I also shared some of the art I’ve done in the past as some people were curious about it, and I showed it to a few people. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target for next week is to be ready for my evaluation, and finish project 1 for good. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Ok so before I get into today’s Padlet log, I just want to say I’m sorry this one took so long, I was out for ages after college that day and it completely slipped my mind until today. Now, onto the actual Padlet. Today we had theory for the first lesson of the day, and since I had finished my theory completely, I was allowed a free lesson to do whatever, so I played Sonic 3 & Knuckles. After that we had the final practice until our performances and we were up first. We still had some things to go over, such as the final poses, singing+dancing and specific directions such as which arms and legs to use. To get this done, we had to cut our warm up short, and we got to work. We had about 5 minutes until we were to start, and we realised we had no backing track that could work at all. I decided there was only one option left, it was a risk but it would be worth it if it worked. I decided to make my own backing track. I recorded the mamma Mia version of the song and extracted the vocals from it, leaving us with the instrumental. I checked it through with the others, and after their approval I sent it to Kai via email. We then said goodbye to the grease group as we began our performance. It was a success in my opinion, and everything mostly went great. There were very few slip ups, and I’m proud of how the final piece turned out. We all passed, and we cheered with relief. After the grease group did their piece and we celebrated them, we all sat down and noted down what we all did well. After that, we were left to it and we all talked amongst ourselves. After that everyone left, except for me as I went into the dance studio to practice singing. I was cut short however, as the level 3s all came in and started practicing their pieces. After they went one by one, they all met in the theatre and I was left again. I got a short amount of singing in before I had to go.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I could have improved on was the order of some of the moves, such as backwards instead of forwards. I also found out how my shimmy looked, and I realise that I can agree that it is definitely not a shimmy. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed the performance we did, and I think we all did really well. Our singing was good, and our acting was on point. The grease group also did amazing when I had the chance to watch it, and I was beaming the entire way through. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to be ready for what comes next. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we filmed videos about our different emotions, and me and Jeffrey filmed 4 different emotions: embarrassment, jealousy, relief and worry. And for the second half, we grouped together to make a performance with the level 3s. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing that could be worked on is the communication during the second half, as there was a lot of sitting around.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed filming the videos with Jeffrey, as we had fun coming up with the ideas, filming them and overall chatting.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to get ideas ready for project 2, and work out how we develop from this starting point. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Sophie, and I finished my evaluation and sent it to her on teams. After that we were shown the project 2 details, and put into pairs. I was paired with Alex, and we began to come up with ideas for what we could do. After that we had Ryan, and we unexpectedly had to prepare our best piece we could do. I planned to do can you feel the sunshine, but I felt too nervous and didn’t want to seem repetitive, so I scrapped that and went with a mix of two monologues from Dragon Ball Z. I absolutely despised doing it im gonna be honest, as it felt so cringe to do and it was so unbelievably bad. I volunteered to go first, as it was originally liv going first but wasn’t ready. Everyone did great in my opinion, and I was proud. After that was more work on project 2, and then everyone went home. I stayed in the theatre with Mia from level 3, and we talked about our work and other things, involving her asking to hear me sing and thinking it was great. I stayed for a while after that, and left at half 6. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
I definitely learned something to improve from today, how to not improv something like that last minute. It was a regret, but I’m glad it’s over and done with. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed the chat with Mia after college, as we showed each other what we could do performance wise. I also enjoyed seeing some of the other performances, such as being blown away by hearing ‘Without You’ by liv, and ‘The Challenge’ by Lacey. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to be ready for whatever comes next, and get ready for project 2. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Ryan in the first lesson, and I got the final checks with my coursework, confirming it as complete. We then had personal development focusing on healthy relationships and our boundaries. After that we were taken to hair and beauty to get things done for charity. I got my hair curled and a back massage, and they were both phenomenal. After that I went back to the theatre, talked with a few people for a while and then went into the dance studio to do arts and crafts. I spent my time making a coffin while talking to Lacey and Ajax, while they made pumpkins. After that I went into the theatre again for some practicing. While that was happening though, I heard a noise coming from the seats, as if something was moving. I wasn’t sure what the noise was, so I took a light and looked under the seats. It was only when I felt a small drop of water hit my face and I looked onto the seats when I realised what the noise was. The roof began to leak, and it was dripping onto the seats. I observed my surroundings, and found some buckets under the stage to use to catch the water. I then thought of what to do next, it was 5 pm at the time, and I knew both Ryan and Sophie were probably gone, so I got some paper from my bag and used some tape to write a note and put it on the theatre door. It was only as I was leaving when I saw Brandon outside reading the note, and I showed him the leaks. After that, I wrote Sophie and Ryan a message on teams and left.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing that could be improved on is volume, as even while on my own practicing I was too nervous to raise my voice too high in case I could be heard outside. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I loved the things the hair and beauty department did today, as it felt so relaxing and nice. My back genuinely hasn’t felt that nice in ages. I also enjoyed the time we spent just making things and spending time together.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to be ready for the Marldon Christmas tree farm performance.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we found out about our brief for the marldon Christmas tree farm performance, and we began to plan for it. Half way through the day, we found out the flash mob was cancelled and is now instead replaced with the tree farm performance, which makes no sense in my opinion as the limit is 12 and there’s way more than 12 of us. Other than that though, it’s been a chill day. Most people were missing for some reason, and was the only level 2 person left in e skills in the second half of the day. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I could improve on is the timing of the dance so far, as I’m not 100% there yet in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed the breaks I spent with the people who were here, including Jeffrey during lunch, and Kay and Jack on my last break. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My targets are to be ready for the tree farm show, perfect the dances taught by karma and getting project 2 finished.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
From Tuesday last week up until this week, this was everything that went on during that time. It’s being put here because I got told that we were stopping Padlet last week, and found out this week that we were still doing it. The details go as follows:
-tree farm show has been planned and work is being done, the two songs are the polar express and underneath the tree
-project 2 is going good, the script, music, casting and stage plannings have been completed, and we’re currently going over the acting 
-dance is going good, we started learning with karma and she’s been great, we’ve been learning warm ups and dances to things such as footloose, Santa clause is coming to town and the greatest showman
-practicals are going good, been spending time with everyone and having fun

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I want to work on is having an equal amount of time with people, as some people I don’t see too often.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent with everyone, including chats during breaks and overall time in lessons.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to perfect the acting and be ready for the Christmas show.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Sophie, and I added images to my work and edited the text to make it more coherent. We then had practical with Ryan, and we worked on our projects. I looked through the prop room to see what we could use, added new actions to the start of the script and annotated my script to break down how it works. I then stayed behind after college to practice acting and singing. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I need to work on is to keep working on the acting, as I feel like it’s not fully there yet. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed working on my acting and singing, as I felt like it went great and improved the quality of my acting a lot. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to be ready for the upcoming Christmas show.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Ryan, and I made some more changes to my work, including fixing the colours and adding the PowerPoint. We then had rehearsal time with Sophie for our duos, and I began to run into issues with mine again due to ‘uncooperativeness’. I talked about my concerns to Sophie and Ajax individually, and got some advice on how I should move forward. We then had dance with karma, and finished the song we were practicing. After that I stayed behind in the theatre and spent some time with Mia, and we each have each other advice on our worries, and she offered to do a drip with me if my original duo wasn’t happening. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I need to work on is communication, as I feel like I’m struggling with this one-way communication and I’m struggling to get out of it. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed being with people today, as I feel like now was more of a strain than ever, and I wouldn’t know what I’d do without the support of people like Ajax. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to have my part down 100% ready for the show in two weeks. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Sophie, and I did some more work on my coursework, including changing colours and adding the risk assessment. I then spent my lunch break with Liv as she recently turned up to college, and we spent the time talking and laughing about things. After that we had practical with Ryan, which included rehearsing for our duos and doing a run of the show. Unfortunately, due to some problems, I had to do my lines on my own, and when it came to the show run I was left struggling trying to work out what to do while Ryan read the script the best he could. After that we practiced the dance karma taught us, and taught most of it to Lacey, Liv and soph. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I’d like to work on is my communication, as I feel there’s still some issues there.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed the time I had with people today, such as lunch break with Liv as we got to talk about a lot and checked in on each other to see how we were. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to be ready in terms of costumes and have a dress rehearsal next week.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Ryan, and I got my stage plan done as well as some edits to my coursework. We then had personal development, but it was in a classroom as the theatre was still out of order. Me and Jeffrey stayed for a little bit as we talked about our feelings and Sophie’s previous university experiences, and we then went off downstairs for IT experience. We then had rehearsal time with Sophie, and got some more work done on that. We then had dance with karma, and worked on our dances and had a small bit of singing when karma heard us during one of the dances. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I would like to work on is the overall polishing of the performance, as some parts are still unfinished and could be developed. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I enjoyed the time I spent with people today, such as Jeffrey at lunch and during IT, and I’m proud of the work that was made as I feel like I’ve developed towards a good grade. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to be ready for the audition tomorrow, even if my partner isn’t. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Sophie, and I got the final things done for my coursework including the tech spec, so I finished that off pretty well. We then had practical with Ryan, including some fun games and working on our duos. I’m reusing my prom suit for Fred, so I changed into that and turned up. Everyone thought I looked great, I could feel my face getting hot. I was in the dance studio, and Alex ended up not working. I realised what was happening the moment she walked away, and wasn’t too pleased. But I kept working anyway, working on choreography for Fred’s movement. It ended up with Alex being sent home, and I left the dance studio and headed into the theatre. After me, Liv and Soph had a discussion on the situation, they left and I was the last one left. The outcome of the practical lesson didn’t turn out too bad though, as I had the chance to do something I’ve dreamt of doing for ages: recording in a studio. I was so excited going in there and recording the lines, it felt so magical and indescribable at the same time. After that, I left for home. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iYkZafow
One thing I would like to work on is my choreography for Fred, as it’s nearly complete, but just needs some work. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.izYauJHk
I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent with people today for the most part, and just having someone to talk to meant a lot, now more than ever. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.1vliTaa8
My target is to be ready for the Christmas show by Tuesday. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CK6wPSKA
Today we had theory with Ryan, and I looked into the extension task of if we could choose a project we all worked on, what it could be. I looked into things such as The Wizard of Oz and Honk, but so far haven’t got notes down. We then had personal development with Sophie, but instead of our normal stuff in the theatre, we went to hi-tech and listened to a talk by a man called Dave Monk. The talk was about loan sharks and other dangerous things someone can fall into, and I truly respect him for what he’s been able to do. We then had practical with Sophie, and she announced that we were able to do our assessment next week and we could practice today. My duo partner asked if we could do it today, even though we are nowhere near completion. It then truly set in for me how my duo partner saw our project, and it stumped me. I honestly felt gutted, I’ve been trying so hard to get this piece the best it could be and there’s been no thought from my duo partner about it at all. During break, Sophie came and talked to me about what’s been going on, and told me that everyone’s noticed I wasn’t alright, and they could see how upset I was. It then set in how bad the situation truly felt to me, as I’ve been trying to ignore that side of the problem and hope things would be alright. I felt like something broke inside, I felt hopeless, uncertain, and that I had let people down, and I could do nothing but cry. When everyone in the course found out, they gave me support, hugs and kindness. I love each and every one of these people so much with all my heart, and I would do anything to hell and back for them. They feel like a family to me, and I love them so much. After a group hug and the start of dance with karma, we were soon wrapping boxes for our dance, playing games and practicing our dances. I felt much better during this lesson, and I’m eternally grateful they were around with me. After that, the day ended and we went home.

One thing I would like to improve on is communication, especially with my duo partner, as I struggled a lot when trying to get my thoughts across on what wasn’t working, and what needs to improve.

The bonds I have with the people in my course were stronger than ever before today, as when things got rough they had my back, and it was so sweet of them that it got me so emotional it nearly got me going again. These people are some of the best friends I could ever wish for, they mean the world to me.

My target is to be ready for my assessment next week.

Today we had our big performance, the thing we’ve been preparing for the last couple weeks. I found out the day before that I was presenting the show with Michael and Zxander, so we focused on that during the day when we weren’t planning our places for things like the big dance. We each had matching suits, which wasn’t planned, with me and Xzander in blue and Michael in red. We worked out our pieces, and got some pieces finalised, such as the waving sketch and the husband sketch. We had trial runs throughout the day, and we got feedback on our pieces and had to redo some of the sketches due to being very similar, as we had pieces related to forgetting the next piece coming up too much. We reworked some of them, and our final lineup was complete. Showtime then arrived, and we were ready. We had our microphone tests earlier, and it was interesting but it hurt as I had to scream. Our show was nearly a complete success, as the only thing that went slightly wrong was swapping elf and Valerie by mistake, and we had a small freak out behind stage, but we fixed it and played it off well. We were running about like crazy behind stage, but at times it was chill and we were able to take in the moment. When the show finished, we all got together and celebrated, hugging and taking photos. After that, we had our fmp reveal, and we all got together and watched the reveal. We were all surprised when footloose appeared, and we were all excited. Today was jack’s goodbye, and got one last dap up from him before he went.

Personally, I’m not sure what could of been improved on today, it was absolutely perfect in my eyes, a peak memory.

I loved the connections with people today, as we all felt collectively together and put on a great show. Pasha also returned today after a few weeks, an it was great to see her again. Me, Michael and Zxander were a true team today, a dynamic trio that I definitely won’t forget.

All I know from today is that stuff for the audition lists were revealed.
