For my pirouette journey I decided it would be best that I do my recording at my dance classes as I believed that it would be the best place to practice and record my growth. When it comes to viewing the videos of my pirouettes I am unable to upload them as I was asked to not post them due to not having the consent of a few people in the background.

This time I chose to focus on my jazz turns. This requires me to keep on the same level without jumping up and down. For the exercise I was doing I had to perform two pas de bourrees and then pirouette. I repeat this six times simultaneously swapping sides to makes sure I’m able to perform on both sides. What I need to improve on is my balance as my weight tends to go to far forward when I’m adding more power causing me to fall or lose balance

For my first video I decided that I would focus on my leg position in the classical ballet pirouette. This would involve me rising up on my toes and lifting my leg to have my foot at the same height as my knee. And maintaining core strength to keep my balance.

Over this time I was at auditions which provided me with a lot more opportunity to stretch and I was able to get a lot better over this period of time getting closer to a full stretch then I ever could

Due to restrictions on this app I couldn’t provide evidence on here. I stretched for roughly ten minute this time and still continued to apply the muscle tensing technique and it started to show some impact as I felt like I gained more from each stretch I did.

Due to restrictions on this app the videos couldn’t be added. I stretched for 10 minutes and made sure to try the muscle tensing technique but it’ didn’t have a major effect on what I was doing

This recording was for the first stage of my Leeds audition.In this I was able to stay more stationary then when I was singing casually I was also able to try capture more emotion in my voice and kept my core strong for a better support. One thing I could have done better is my breathing as I would ether anticipate when to breathe to early in some places which in turn caused me to run out of breathe to soon. Overall I believe I did a good performance but still need to improve on my breathing

Due to scheduling conflicts and complications I have decided to start my recordings late and so I have started my work recordings on the 12th of march as it is the first time since writing my development plan that I have had the chance to properly put it in my schedule. After doing a 15 minute vocal warm up I decided to record straight away and view my current standard of technique. The first problem I can see visually is that I move around a lot making my support weaker and less effective. I plan to correct this by focusing on my movements more and staying more stationary. Instead of focusing on one technique per week I decided to instead focus on one correction and then improve on it. For my first week I chose to sing the song Inutil from In the heights as it was the first solo I sang at college and I wanted to compare my growth since starting. One of my strengths in the recording is my belting is it is very controlled and matches the tone of the song. For next week I will focus on staying stationary to build more support

I will record Myself singing at the end of each week. Each week I will focus on a different technique and then slowly combine them into a performance. I will pick a song and build it up into a repertoire song. I will also perform vocal warm ups to have the most consistent condition across my weeks of development. This will help as it will allow me to take my time making these techniques muscle memory and decide what works best with my song. This also helps as it will allow my to strengthen my core and stamina with singing and it will also give me a song to work on my range as i must reach for higher notes and build stability while hitting those higher notes I will do this on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays as these days allow me the freedom of time to work at my own pace.

I want to focus on these as they are very commonly used in west end choreography so i want to show i have the potential to do them well so after doing my stretches if i'm in an appropriate environment i will practise some pirouettes and film each attempt to see what i should change and use the tips in these videos to correct myself. This will help as I will be able to identify the current problems I have and how I can fix them to get a good form. I Plan to do this on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays after stretching so I'll already be warm and ready to dance and it will coincide with my flexibility training as I'll be able to lift my leg higher when turning. I will make a time lapse of the improvements I've made in the recordings.

15 Minute beginner stretch Flexing Routine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_xrDAtykMI

I was researching and found a very interesting video talking about the logic of how muscles work and that by trying stretches while tensing certain muscles helps you be more flexible. So I'd like to try this and test what the difference is. I’ve also copied to other links with a ranging difficulty of stretches so i can take certain stretches from each one and make a short routine i can do everyday or every other day. I would plan to do this on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays as I have dance on mondays, wednesdays and saturdays so i’ll be stretching on these days already so to have a greater impact i wanted to do it on my off days. This will help as it will allow me to consistently stretch throughout the week without the effect wearing off and I'll have a rest day on Sundays so I don't over do it. I Will attempt a split at the end of every week to show the improvements and differences.
