         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Find a clip of Dance/movement:</strong><br>Taeyang - Ringa Linga Dance performance video - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho1y-4mXIL0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho1y-4mXIL0</a><br><strong>What style of dance is it?:</strong><br>Mix of styles (eg; Break dance, Contemporary.)<br><strong>Why do you like it ? </strong>:<br>I like it because at first i listened to the song without the video and i really enjoyed it. Then the video came out and all of the movements were in time and co-ordinate which is what appeals to me in dance videos.<br> <strong>Does it communicate a theme ?:<br></strong>Yes, it communicates a kind of wild theme and that they can do whatever they like.<br><strong>Describe 4-8 dynamics in it :<br></strong>The song stats off smoothly with a piano playing then it builds up to Tae singing and some bass. The next is when Tae is in the front and it seems like a sort of introduction to himself "My name is T to the A to the E", after he introduces himself he starts rapping fast.<br>When the rapping stops he does some soft singing and it builds up to the chorus.<br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In our introductory class, we first did some warm ups and yoga, this is very important to the beginning of the class to warm up our bodies, get our blood flowing and to keep our bodies from straining. We choreographed a 16 beat dance, with out teacher Helen, afterwards we split up into groups of two and rehearsed the first and second part of the 16 beat dance.<br>Finally we split up into groups of four, rehearsed and performed in front of the class.<br>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Today in our official first dance lesson,we learned a warm up sequence(will record next week)<br>lasting 128 beats (will find out how long the instrumental lasts next week also), this is to get our bodies warm and increase blood flow to your working muscles.<br><br>We then went straight into learning our 1st section of choreography for Dreamgirls Musical 'Steppin to the bad side', after learning this as a whole class we were split up into groups and tasked with rehearsing and helping each other out if we did not understand any part of the the 1st section.<br><br>Once we finished helping each other and rehearsing with our groups, each group showed the class what progress they made while rehearsing. This helped us by seeing what we done well and what we could of done better</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The purpose of this lesson was to explore two essential ingredients for a successful scene, objectives and actions.<br><br>Objective means 'what the character's goal is, or what the character wants from the situation.<br>Action means what the character will do to achieve that objective/goal.<br><br>These are very important because these can help with character development, for example; what's going on in the characters mind, what the character wants or thinks of other characters.<br><br>The text we are currently working on is called Mogadishu, my individual objective was "I want to push him to fight me" and my action was "I provoke you".<br><br>I think i most definitely achieved these targets, these also helped me by thinking like a bully would because me and this character are opposites so it helped very much.<br><br>My strengths were understanding what my character wanted and going through with the action to get  my objective. What I could work on is my time management, spend less time talking about what we should do.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This morning we started using the script more and came together as a whole class to choreograph a scene in Mogadishu, where the bully (Jason) and his gang pick on a foreigner (Firat) in school.<br><br>Listening skills and focus are very important in this situation because if you don't hear your cue to come on then it would hold up the whole performance.<br><br>The whole class (except Firat, Jason and his gang)'s objective was to intimidate Firat into a fight with Jason. This is where the objective and actions research comes in, we all talked about what a school environment would be like during a fight and what we came up with was people shouting "beat him up", "don't take that", racial slurs and swear words.<br><br>We rehearsed this many times after today and it all fit well together, what we did well today was teamwork and good time management, what we could do better is for others not to shout over the people with lines.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Create your own Padlet for Skills Toolkit, using the 'shelf' format and the subheadings given in the attachment.<br>2. Reflect on the lesson (include the date):<br>(a) What was the purpose of the lesson (to explore two essential ingredients for a successful scene - objectives and actions)<br>(b) What are objectives and actions? Why are they important?<br>(c) What text did you work on (Group A Mogadishu)? What was your individual objective and action/s? Did you achieve them? How did it help your performance in the scene?<br>(d) What were your strengths in the scene and what do you need to do to improve moving forward?<br>Use the handout in the Drama Practical Diary to help you reflect.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In todays lesson we started with a game of charades with the Technical and Performance skills sheet (at the bottom) this helped us re-learn the meanings of each word.<br><br>Then we jumped into the warm up sequence, adding a new part called '<em>Tendu</em>' which helps us with our alignment, flexibility and knowing it will be good for future career.<br><br><br>After doing our warm up sequence we rehearsed the beginning of the dance, the teacher (Helen) then taught us the next parts of the sequence.<br><br>Learning the next parts, I could see how everything was going to add up and why we were learning the dance break first.&nbsp;<br><br>Finally, we&nbsp;split up into our groups from last week and started to devise our own dance lasting 2 lots of 8 (16 beats).<br><br></div>]]></description>

I do this to increase strength and for any surprise dance moves we may be doing that includes lifts.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In today's class we sat down and talked about the assignment brief because some classmates did not understand half of it and we also talked about 'Inter Disciplinary', meaning different methods of performing arts.<br><br>After the talk, we did a quick run through of the dance to see how much we remembered. Surprisingly after 5 days, everyone was able to remember the dance.<br><br>We then began the warm up. Helen decided to add another part on to the warm up,the part being the steps after the clicking in beginning of our dance from Dreamgirls. We did this twice on one foot, jumped twice and then twice on the other foot and jumped twice. This helped us perfect that part of the dance so we didn't forget it when performing. It also helps with body alignment.<br><br>We were then split into groups to help with reviewing each others alignment and strengths in the skills we were using in the warm ups and plies.<br><br>After the warm ups we rehearsed the whole dance again, adding a formation to the part between the dance break and the pose during the 3 Groups devised dance.<br><br></div>]]></description>

We then sat down again to finish off the conversation we had yesterday about the assignments we needed to do.<br><br>Afterwards, showing spatial awareness, we move into a space in the room, making sure we were not in arms length with anyone else for the warm up.<br><br>I had trouble doing the Tendus I found it difficult to point my toes when lifting sideways in 1st position (1st Position means feets together pointing outwards).<br><br>When the warm up was done we continued on from where we finished yesterday, the V shape linking to the dance break. Helen decided to move us around to make it look more appealing to the audience and for us to be able to move to the space we need to for the dance break.</div>]]></description>

I commented on their: alignment, accuracy/presicion and facial expression.<br><br>Afterwards, we were split into groups and asked to evaluate everyone on different warm up parts.&nbsp;<br><br>I gave feedback to 3 people:</div><ul><li>Jemma - Good alignment when stretching her back.</li><li>Arnold - Good alignment when planking (straight back).</li><li>Stephanie - Good alignment when lunging.</li></ul><div><br>The feedback I recieved was that I had good facial expressions and focus towards the dance.<br><br>We then split up into two groups, one group learning the harder part of the ending and the other group practicing the part before the ending.<br><br><br></div>]]></description>
