Professionalism is the competence and skill expected of a professional. Without professionalism the process of putting on a show would be extremely difficult, there is a time and a place to mess around and it isn’t in rehearsals. Professionalism allows performers to work efficiently and to stay focused to make the best show case possible.

Auditioning is when a persons suitability for a role is assessed via a short performance. Auditioning is necessary because certain roles depend on a performers ability and their skills. It’s important that roles are given to suitable people otherwise you won’t get the potential out of the show case and the process.

Understanding context is the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood to help dancers tell the story they’re trying to express, in movements and facial expressions. Without this understanding, the performers would not be able to fully perform their roles and showcase the narrative of the story as they wouldn’t know  what the story was truly about.

Background research is exploring the topics in a project that helps you fill in gaps in your understanding and what is expected in the narrative of the show. Without researching the background of the show performers would not know how to fully demonstrate emotions involved and why those emotions are involved.

Brainstorming is a group discussion producing ideas and solving problems. Without brainstorming there would be a lack of creativity and a lot of confusion on how to start the process as there would be no key ideas to work on and develop.

A job role is the function you sort within your group involved in the project. A job description lists the particulars attributes of the position, including duties, responsibilities, and necessary skills. Job roles are important because they provide clarity and it also makes the team work together to stay productive and organsised.

Asking questions to the Director is when you try and fill gaps in your knowledge by finding out what you need to know from the person running the show. Doing this ensures the performer is fully aware of what is expected from them and it shows initiative. It’s crucial a performer knows as much as they can about the themes of the show so, they should definitely consult their director with questions often.

A rehearsal schedule is a timetable of when the group or individuals will create and practice their pieces for the show. It’s essential there is a rehearsal schedule, otherwise no progress would be made because people won’t commit to spend time rehearsing. By having a clear routine and schedule of where you are going to rehearse and for how long, it gives the performers enough time to prepare and be ready for the show.

Rehearsing is any form of practice for a public performance. Rehearsing is important so that each performer knows the choreography and so that each dance looks clean and the performance is enjoyable to watch.

In this show we were all given solos, the solos had to reflect what we wrote in our letters to ourselves. Mine was about running away from my problems because I seem to do that a lot and its a part of me I do not like. It took a while to choose a song, at first I used Run Baby Run by The Rigs, I really liked the song and the tempo of it but something wasn't quite right about it and that lead to me having difficulty choreographing to it and having creative blocks. I explored with Holly a variety of different songs until I found Ruins by Portico Quartet, an instrumental song. I liked this song a lot better because I had no lyrics to rely on, the song was fast paced and it escalated throughout the track and I think that fitted my image perfectly of running away.

This trio is about trying to become braver. Being brave means that you are striving to come out of your comfort zone and to face challenges which is a difficult thing in life and we highlight this in our trio by starting our dance off gently and then building up into more energetic choreography to show that transition of shy to brave. We also tried to avoid looking at the audience in the beginning and kept our movements to ourselves to convey our lack of braveness at the beginning.

Our duet was about frustration and anger. Holly picked this subject for me and Kate because it suited us best, the thing that me and Kate have in common is that we're very hot headed and we can become angry very easily and similarly we sometimes don't deal with our anger very well. This dance is about showing our frustration and anger and taking it out on each other and the choreography. Our duet included lots of kicks, punches, staring each other down, contact work with an element of violence and lots of fast paced acro and contemporary tricks all to represent our ideas.

False confidence is our ensemble about not taking life so seriously. We show this by making silly faces at each other and we also showed the reverse and looked very serious to show how some people take life too seriously and never see the humour in day to day life. Taking life too seriously means that you are not going to enjoy life as well as you could if you just relaxed.

Someone to you was our last dance and it was a fun energetic dance to end the show. It was like a finale because it was also the last dance we did in theatre at college.

This piece is about how the smallest things mean the most, and how we should focus on the little things because life is precious. This piece was developed through contact duets that we created before we knew it was going to be a piece in the show. We created duets with each person in our class and each duet showed our different strengths in contact. The duets then progressed into a dance and Holly put some choreography in-between the duets that linked and filled it out. In the dance we focused on our open right hand a lot to show that we should focus on the small things because life is too short and life goes by too fast and none of us appreciate these things in life enough. The contact duets were a nice thing to turn into a dance because we worked hard to come out of our comfort zone to create them.

Creating choreography is when you’re asked to choreograph your own steps and come up with material yourself to then create a dance. Creating choreography is important because without this there wouldn’t be a dance and you can’t rely on a lecturer to choreograph all your dances, especially solos, trios, duets.

# data[].attributes.body
Music choice is where you dedicate time to choose songs for each of the pieces in the show. Thinking about music choice is really important because it effects the performance dramatically and you need to have an appropriate track for the themes and narrative you’re trying to convey to the audience.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning choreography is when the lecturer or another classmate has created choreography and then they teach it to you and you have to learn it. This is important because it’s good to learn choreography often, it teaches a performer to pick up dances quickly and this technique is essential for a dancer. Without the ability to learn choreography, the process of making the show would be very difficult as there would be a lack of material.

Feedback is any discussion with your director after a rehearsal, run through or whilst drilling Choreography. There can be positive feedback and negative feedback. Feedback is important so the dancer can take on corrections so they can improve themselves, or if they’re doing something well it’s good that it is recognised by the director so they carry on doing it to that standard.

Writing down what happens in each rehearsal because it highlights what you need to work on and you have a log of the whole rehearsal process to show progress

# data[].attributes.body
Filming dances and choreography is where you record your progress on each dance each week. This is important so that you can refer back to it so you don’t forget choreography and so that when you add more on it links smoothly. Recording progress is also really important to show the process of putting on a public performance, without a process you cannot be marked very well and it enables you to get higher grades on this btec.

Building confidence is where you come out of your comfort zone and you do that repeatedly so you become more sure of yourself, which is confidence. This is important because a good dancer will want to explore more so they can become a more well rounded dancer. Without trying new things you will be limiting yourself and making it very difficult for you to find a career or book jobs as a dancer. To be able to perform well you need to look confident so by building this via exploring more you will become a better performer.

Facial expressions is the emotion the performer carries on their face throughout each dance. Depending on what dance the facial expressions might need to be angry, sad, happy, scared etc. Without facial expressions the dance will not look like it’s being performed and it also makes it difficult for the audience to work out what the dance is about. Facial expressions are important because they set the tone of the piece and it shows good acting skills too.

Costume ideas is when you dedicate time to think about what attire you’ll wear in the performance. Costumes are important because they add to the character and the themes of the dances and they help the dancers look more cohesive or, less cohesive if that’s the look you’re going for. Costumes need to be considered because not everything could be appropriate, it depends on the style of the dance, for example, you could not wear a long dress in an acrobatic dance because it is dangerous. Costumes can also help tell the narrative so that’s why it’s good to think about ideas at this stage in the show process.

Making a prop list is when you clarify what prop objects you need to put on your performance, this is usually a group discussion or a discussion with the director. Props add another layer to the dance and gives it more purpose, props also help link ideas together and can also add difficulty to a dance which is a good challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
Editing music is when the tracks are cut or effects are added to tracks so they suit the choreography and the dancer, for example if a dancer needs to finish their dance before the end of the track then the track will need to be cut shorter or faded out. Without editing the music the show would be a mess, there would be huge gaps and it would confuse both dancers and the audience.

# data[].attributes.body
Lighting designs is when the dancers, directors and tech group get together to plan and plot the lighting for the performance. This is important because certain lights need to be placed at specific points in the dance and the lights need to link to each performance to compliment it. If lighting is not designed and just randomly placed it can make the performance look messy, unprofessional and just ineffective.

The AV is the projection of visuals in the show whether that be on a board, the floor or something else etc. The purpose of the AV is to add some effects to the show and to help tell the storyline of the show. Without the AV you can still put on a show, but it is important for a show if you want the audience to understand the story further and to make the show more entertaining.

Drilling Choreography is going through the dance movements in a dance so that you remember the movements better and execute the movements better.
Without drilling Choreography dances would look messy and nobody would be doing the same.

Translating is when the choreography that is learnt and created in the dance studio moves on to being blocked and transferred to the stage and rehearsing it in that new space. This is important because staging can be bigger or smaller than expected and some movements may have to be altered or completely taken out to make sure everything works and looks good. Translating gets the dancers used to the setting they will perform in to prevent mistakes or even injuries.

# data[].attributes.body
A run through is where performers will perform all the dances in the running order, but it is usually just in the studio and there is no pressure if anything goes wrong. Its important to have run throughs because then you can see if the running order works and to assess what transitions you'll need between dances. If run throughs aren't done before the tech and dress runs then you run the risk of things going badly wrong and only having a small amount of time to fix them.

# data[].attributes.body
Tech runs are where performers perform their full show without worrying about costumes because the focus is making sure the tech works with the dancing. Tech run throughs are important to help make sure all the sound, lighting and visuals are working, and to help performers with their cues.

# data[].attributes.body
A dress run through is a full run through of the show with the focus being on the costumes and props, making sure the costumes work with the dancing and to rehearse quick changes so that the actual shows run smoothly and effectively.
