Punk Rock Performance

The performance of Punk Rock went so well. Everyone did great and it really looked good.

My performance went well. The group took on the advice given during rehearsal really well and it worked out. I believe the scene went great and that the objectives of each character was clear. Characterization from the group was good and believable. I'm really happy with the performance we did.

Another group that I believe went really well was Katie, Hannah and Olivia's group as there scene was really good and their performance was really believable. There objectives and characterization where clear and really well performed.

Overall the play went really well as was so much fun to work on within the group.

Analysis on My Blog


Analysis

What do you think is the strongest part of the blog? This could be a certain post, the writing style, the graphic design, the use of alternative media, the images, etc. What makes this element so strong?

The strongest part of your blog is you diary entries. You have really engaged into your character and have shown a realistic style of writing of what she would have said. I love how you have taken lines from the play and have turned them around and put more detail into what you think about. What you also did really well is you linked one of your lines to a image that you have researched online.

 

3.  After reading the blog, what would you like to know more about? Is there a post that leaves you with questions? Write down at least two questions to help your partner further develop this blog.

I would like to know more about what you have done in class and Tanya’s home life. Tell me more about what she is like as a person and what her true feelings are towards everybody else.

 

4.  Did you notice any major misspellings or grammatical issues? Please note down anything.

I did notice a few spelling mistakes, but they are just simple things like names.

 

5.  Did your partner fulfil all the requirements on the Character Blog Requirements hand-out?

No they did not; they have done very well so far. What I would like is more pictures and makes you blog more exciting and engaging to look at

Warm ups

Warm ups

In lesson's we do warm up activities to get our bodies and minds ready for the day ahead. Each activity helps us get in tune with our bodies and helps us with our vocal skills.

We will do stretches and exercise to wake up our bodies for the day ahead. One of the common exercise we do is the spine roll where you will roll your spine from a standing position to a bent over position on one breathe. This helps get our breathing and body in tune.

Other activities we do are vocal where we work with our voices. We do many like using different sounds to help with our vocal chords and recently we did an exercise called head, heart, guts and groin where we used different actions and voices. Like we would walk around in neutral then stop and speak in a logical voice and does what it says, this is from the head, then we would stop and speak to someone and speak to them with sensitivity and this is from the heart, then we would place our hands against the wall putting all our weight into our hands and shouting from our guts, in anger or frustration from the guts, finally we leant against the wall with our backs to it and said in a voice that was sensual this came from the groin our line to see the effect of each voice on the line and too see which fitted it best for the scene.
