People analysed and described variety acts to us
without us knowing what that act was and we had

that act by venue, target audience.

I researched street performers by looking for youtube videos of the act and looked into it and questioned if it would work in a place other than where it was originially performed

Megan

things about uncommon variety acts.

Francesca:

Rowanne

street dancing performances and
comment on how apporiate they are

James W

I went to YouTube to look for
street dance performers but

rather than something that's
been done a million times before.

Shannon Waters

youtube to find a street dance
crew however I knew of a local
street dance crew who I knew
and used a video from youtube
of them dancing America

actual street performer street dancing

Liam

2014-02-07 14:27:13 UTC

i looked on youtube to find acts on street dance and there was many different

types like crew, single performers, flash mods but they are all still street dance

its shows that anyone could do it

One-man pieces tend to be more appropriate for smaller venues - as opposed to stadiums or arenas. This is because it may be harder to identify what exactly the act is, or what the performer is hoping to achieve - due to the distance of the audience.

Jakey

2014-02-07 14:27:50 UTC

I researched diffrent variety acts throughout the ages mainly from youtube and documentaries where they talk about how they got started some of there venues etc.

Meg

2014-02-07 14:27:57 UTC

I used padlet to justify the the approriatness of street dance
crews. I learned that if done in the wrong venue they can be
a nuisence but if done correctly can be a joy to watch and are
actually entertaining.

James Todd

i went onto you tube to find different street dance pieces and i looked for one that would look

funny

dann

2014-02-07 14:28:16 UTC

i watched and analysed how the acts worked and how they didnt work what could make them better in order to make them more appropriate

Lauren:

Some acts you wouldn't be able to have in doors in case
of a fire and it would be health and safety,
but you've also got to bare in mind what audience you have
in case you want to do a burlesque dance it would be
appropriate for young children.

Rowanne

2014-02-07 14:29:09 UTC

We disscussed how appropiate
different street dancing
performances and which we
thought was most effictive and why

Lucy

2014-02-07 14:29:13 UTC

We researched street dancers and we discusses how a specific performance would wrok in one venue and not it another, for example a solo artist would tend not to work in a larger venue because its harder to see the act and makes it less enjoyable

Shannon Waters

2014-02-07 14:29:15 UTC

I analysed the video of
the street dance crew
I found on you tube and
discussed what other
venues they could
perform at and what
venue wouldn't work

and talked about if they could be done an

stephen

2014-02-07 14:29:23 UTC

we looked then discussed where the different performances
would work best as in different venues. As some venues
may be too big and have too little performers.

Caprice-Simone

2014-02-07 14:29:24 UTC

i analysed how well different street performers
did and did not work for example, one dancer
wouldn't have worked in a big arena wheras
another wouldve been amazing

Sam

Acts such as tightrope moves are brilliant spectacles, however, attempting it at a venue such as a cruise ship would rear a number of health hazards - as balance can be offputting.
