“Watching the HNC performance was like stepping foot into a West End theatre. Dan conveyed each character with true sincerity and passion. His vocal throughout was of an exceptionally high standard and of a professional level. The musical numbers had been well researched allowing the audience to be catapulted into the different musical genres. Dan was a standout performer during the show supporting his fellow performers with his charismatic nature.” Lauren (level 3)

“Dan’s recent performance within his singing showcase was a real achievement. He performed many numbers with his peers and pulled these performances off really well. Dan excelled massively in his performance of ‘Agony’ from into the woods. His characterisation throughout the song was very strong and the performance was a pleasure to watch. He also performed ‘Sincerely me’ from Dear Evan Hansen, this song is quite a fast-paced number but Dan ensured that his articulation was perfect throughout this song, which can be hard in faster songs. However, throughout the last number in the show, Dan let his emotions take over his performance which was a real shame. As a performer, it is really important that you do not let this happen in a performance, and I’m sure that Dan will work on this for next time. One last thing I would like to see from Dan is maybe a bit more movement and choreography within his performances. I know this is not down to him, but it would be nice to see Dan outside of his comfort zone and doing something he doesn’t normally do. “Edie (level 3)

“Watching Dan in ignite’ s portrayal of Bat Out of Hell as Falco was incredibly emotional. He played the part with passion and grit selling his role as a controlling and manipulative individual well. Falco's character is a far cry from Dan's gentle giant nature but it allowed him to demonstrate his proficiency in his craft. Working well with his fellow performers using their energy and sharing his own to bring the performance level to an absolute high which wowed the audience as a whole. It was clear that Dan had researched his character well and understood how his role affected the show as a whole. His connection with Sloane and Raven were incredible not only through the portrayal of the struggles they had been through but also the love and care that connected the characters as a result of the catastrophe. A great contrast to this love was the sheer hatred and dislike of the lost and the tension between Strat and Falco was sold well and believable. Dan's acting and performance is top class, the use of space and his amazing stage presence added to that his incredible singing voice just shows what an all-round performer he is.”

My job role is to be an actor/performer on the west end, this will involve singing, dancing and acting on the west end, some key responsibilities of this role are to learn lines, choreography and blocking,   be on time to rehearsals and allow enough time to be settled so you can  work at your best level, you must be respectful to other as this allows for directors to see you in a good light which could be good for the future.

research for improving stamina and fitness.

according to healthline(2020), physical fitness is divided into five components,

1.       Cardiovascular endurance

2.       Flexibility

3.       Body composition

4.       Muscular endurance

5.       Muscular strength

An idea that I have seen is to run 1.5 miles flat out and then compare results for age group as a benchmark and then you also have something to work towards in the long term

The SAID principle which means ‘specific adaptation to imposed demands’ basically meaning your body will adapt if you just do specific type of exercise you regularly perform, So if I want bigger arms do arm exercises .

Aim for more than 150 minutes per week, exercising regularly can boost your energy levels.

Stay hydrated it is important to stay hydrated but if you are sweating it is important to take in electrolytes to replace minerals lost during sweating.

through research I found that doing 10,000 steps a day can increase my stamina and fitness.

30th march: 6,269 steps , I have lost my watch this meant I could only track via my phone, spent a lot of the day doing coursework.
31st march: 9,025 steps, had a very active morning with rehearsals and then also in  the afternoon.
1st April: 8,160 steps, I was at college doing rehearsals all day and spent a lot of the day moving around a lot.
2nd April: 4,800 steps, I spent a lot of the day in bed but went to work and usually I rack up over 10,000 steps but I ended up working behind the bar and I didn't move very far.
3rd April: 18,069 steps, I spent all day at work on the floor so moved around a lot and got lots of movement in.
4th April: 6,396 steps, after the -previous day of working I was very tired and had rehearsals all day but could not keep my phone on me for safety reasons .
5th April: 5,152 steps, spent the day doing coursework and did not get much movement in.

From looking at the information from my Iphone , I averaged around 8,940 steps for the week which i believe is good for the first week.

overall, for this week I did not get the 10,000 steps hopefully I can make this increase over the coming weeks .

this is my step counting diary for week 2:
6th April, 8,188 steps: Due to the absence of teachers, we ended up rehearsing the show all day, so I did not have that much chance to move about college with my phone on me, but did walk to and from college after taking public transport, did not feel too stressed as quite confident with my newsies lines now.
7th April, 7,697 steps: today spent a lot of the day in rehearsals , went to see an acting show and it was an immersive piece so spent the time walking around the set, walked home and to college after getting public transport.
8th April, 8,632 steps: I had newsies rehearsals all day and didn't have my phone on me for most of the day as did not want to distract myself from the task in hand as we were doing a full run through for the first time, I then went straight to work and was on the bar all night so did not move much then walked home.
9th April: 7,186 steps: we had our first run through of our show and it took us most of the day to get through act 1 as we were respacing and trying to move certain props and then I had work and was at work till 12 so got my steps in there.
10th April, 13,458 steps: I spent the day on a 9-4 close at work, so did a 8.5 hour shift and I get very stressed at work so end up walking a fair bit as I don't think stuff will get done.
11th April, 2,659 steps: was my first day off for a couple of days and spent the day in bed doing coursework and didn't really move for most of the day as it was the first day of the Easter half term.
12th April, 8,174 steps:  I was at work all day and spent my time floating between the bar and the floor, was a general alright day but sometimes the bar was going under which caused me a fair bit of stress.

According to Webmd(2021) they have 10 theories for managing stress some of these are:
exercise: hopefully me working out more can help to focus my mind and this will allow me to become less stressed and focus on the task in hand
Relax the muscles: increase the amount I stretch and do my best to release stress form my body which may allow me to free my mind more. take a bath and just relax the muscles and just relax the mind.
just take a break and allow the mind to be free and maybe listen to music just let the thoughts flow.

from the two weeks, I recorded information I have concluded the place where I endure the highest levels of stress was while I was at work was managed very poorly and severely understaffed, I took this into account and decided to hand my notice in and took a massive weight off of my shoulders knowing that I would be out of there soon enough, my uni work was stressing me out but I am slowly getting it done and hitting all of my formative assessments, the show is coming along nicely I try and run my lines every night with the help of one of my peers so I am not too worried as Lucy is happy with how its going.
