April Milestone


Performance day for speakeasy

 As in my march milestone last month i mentioned about doing rehearsals for the speakeasy performance at the Firestation. I had a tech rehearsal on the Thursday and Robbie who was the main director for the show had us rehearse in the space then placed us where it was best then we worked through dance to dance so we know when do go through to start the dance. Then on the Friday we had to be there by six to have a talk and run through it once then we performed at 7:30.

What went well during the performance:

  • I had use good character while doing the different emotions of both the routines.
  • I had remembered both routines including the partner parts and characterisation within the scene.
what did i need to improve on in the performance:
  • I needed to keep looking up at times during the routine.
  • I needed to keep up the energy through out the performance.

 Musical rehearsals started


In the beginning of April i had started to create ensemble routines for the musical my group had created, for the routines i needed to have different styles for different emotions including the school scene is more energetic which is different for the final scene in act 1 is more physical theatre. 

What went well in rehearsals:

  • I was confident with given the task to create the routines.
  • I workshopped a lot of ideas and used "the process of elimination" and record them to see what looks better.
  • When doing the routine I made sure that it looks advance but it would be easy for the ensemble to learn and ask if there's anything wrong with what the routines are.
what could be improved:
  • I needed more rehearsal time to make sure i could remember the routines.
  • sometimes i would forget to record the routines.

April target:
 
 
My April target was to improve my flexibility, to achieve this i stretched every day and record my self doing various jumps and different dance stretches i think this this was helpful to keep taking photos to show how far i have improve since the last time i had stretched. Below is some examples of what i had done. As i did this everyday and i looked at what i could of been improved and what i needed to work on.

Part of Your World

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

You'll Be Back

  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

At age 13, she was betrothed to her cousin Thuy, to which she confessed to not loving him. During the war, Kim's family was killed by a bomb during a raid and as she ran through the rice fields she saw their bodies, this event affected Kim and it changed her mindset that she would rather die than look back again. Kim finally finds a job as a bargirl at a nightclub in Saigon named 'Dreamland' where she meets The Engineer, catering to the American GIs stationed in the city.  On Kim's first night at Dreamland, the other girls laugh and mock her for being innocent and the patrons seem turned off by her naive figure except for a young sergeant named Chris Scott, which his friend John notices. As the night goes on Chris grows more fond of Kim after learning she's not like the other girls he's seen, Which leads to Chris asking Kim to move to America with him
