Focus

In today's lesson we focused on looking at the work we have compiled over the previous weeks, and ordering them and working on them to create our devised piece "Moments." I found today's lessons very useful as it removed my confusion and stress over the pressure of creating a good and usable piece of work. Previous to today's lessons I have been worried that we weren't going to achieve work that I was happy with performing to other people, but now I have realised that we had devised more usable work than I thought we had, and that we have lots of strong pieces to display. Today we focused on Justine's motif and the opening to the piece. We decided that in groups of three we where going to perform our interpretations of Justine's dance and use the same piece of music for each. I originally thought that it would become repetitive and boring to use the same piece of music multiple times, but after talking to Daniell I now realise that it'd okay to use the music three times as it would follow the rule of three. The word of the week is focus, and today we realised as a group that showing focus on our face improves the standard of work enormously. I discovered that if an audience see that you are focused it would interest them and be seen as a more professional piece of work. The main issues we discover today were making sure we are on the correct side of the light circle to start the next section of work, this was discovered in the short run through and now we can work on planning where we finish our sections of drama and finding out where we need to be for the next. We also need to work on polishing our work through practice, the main problem in the dance sections is timing and fluidity, but with practice we can improve this to a higher standard.
