Character history Ariel is the youngest of King Triton's seven daughters. Ariel has a fascination with the world of humans, despite contact being forbidden by her father, who hates humans. In the beginning, Ariel is salvaging human items and takes them to scuttle for identification. Ariel keeps them in her secret grotto as a part of her collection, from books to other regular objects which is where she sings "Part of Your World. During a storm, Ariel rescues Prince Eric and brings him to shore where she falls in love with him and dreams to be human. Why I have chosen this song I have chosen this song since it has a lot of emotions going through it and I have to adapt to an American accent for this so it can be different from my other songs. I love how free Ariel is when singing this song so I wanted to have the same energy which is different from the others since they are just a number where you stand in one place and it can show how excited she is when she starts to talk abou

  Character History When Hamilton argues with Samuel Seabury, King George III sings about how he will win the war and keep America as a colony in "You'll Be Back". You can feel his power when he doesn't move from his spot and gets everyone to rush around for him which is a total contrast from the other songs before this since they have a rap theme to them, it's almost like America is making King George III a joke including the feminine touches and bratty attitude. After America won the war, King George III became sad and angry, singing about how they cheated with the French and Spain by their side, and asking "What Comes Next". After George Washington steps down as president he questions who comes after him after one of his servants tells him it is John Adams he sings how their government is doomed and wishes them luck. When Burr, Jefferson and Madison distribute copies of the Renolds Pamphlet, completely ruining Hamilton's reputation, King George ca

  11 Reasons/ developing skills For my final part in the blogs of my developing and looking further into my future goals and dreams i need to evaluate what has happened in the past year to help me become a better performer. On Thursday 9th June i performed 11 reason which was a musical that we had wrote out self's and also had the choreography our self's, which as a result made me develop multiple skills including creating ensemble numbers with a variety of dance styles. As for trying to develop my muscle memory and flexibility it had it's ups and downs for example, there where some days i wouldn't have time or it would of effected my rehearsal time to help others, i could of avoided it by stretching in my own time or come early into college to use the studios provided or i could of done it at home and i should of took before and after photos to show my improvement in certain tasks.

  The musical As the musicals is in two weeks i have took my role as choreographer more seriously because we needed more ensemble numbers in the musical. So the three routines where for broken wing, imagine place and monsters all created by my peers who are also in the musical. As for the three routines some are a lot different styles of dance and have a different story for each. For some rehearsals we workshopped ideas and looked at physical theatre companies and different musical theatre productions including the prom. It was a challenge for me to do different styles because i focus most on contemporary style dance but it also improves my dance styles more and i can expand more in the future. what i improved on: I focus more on everyone else and who needs help in the different areas of the routines. I lead warm ups with the other choreographers. I confidently taught my peers choreography.  Charity showcase To support the Ukraine war i took part in a showcase to raise money for them,
