Rehearsals for the Barbican Compilite Performance

On the 2nd of June me and some of our class came in to rehearse for the Barbican perfromance and we had come up with the start of the perfromance by doing a marching dance and using our props also to a Micheal Jackson song called They Dont Care About Us. 

And this is the video of what we did in the rehearsal so far. 

The Barbican Perfromance performed at Leyton

On Thursday the 21st of May we had performed our Barbican Compilicte in front of an audience. The perfromance was not so good as we had a few mistakes hapen during the performance for example I forgot my lines in the womens timeline and I put everyone of by sending of a bad vibe when I messed up. what I have to do to improve my perfromance is to remeber my lines and if I forget just move straight to the next line without showing and letting people that I messed up.  

The Theatre Trip to The Musical Wicked

On Wednesday the 20th of May me and my class went to see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria.

The Songs in Our Showcase

In the show case we chose songs of our choice for the whole class to be involved in for example we chose a songs from the Musical Fame called Bring on Tomorrow.

We also chose a song from The Musical Sister Act called Raise Your Voice which we sang with the second year musical theatre also.

We also had solos that invovled the class for example a song from The Musical Wicked called Dancing Through Life.

And anouther solo that invovled the class was a song from The Musical Bugsy Malone called So You Wanna Be a Boxer. 

When performing those songs I felt the Fame song, Bring on Tomorrow was good but I felt it could of better near to the ending as we were getting to the claps during the song we should of been more smiling and more happy and interacting with others more also I thought we should of also had more facial as our face were just straight and looked like we didn't enjoy what we doing. In the Sister Act song, Raise Your Voice I felt it went good apart from when some of our costume kept on falling off but I tried to stay in character while trying to put it back on. In the solo song Dancing Through Life in Wicked I felt I was in character through out the performance and in the solo song So You Wanna Be a Boxer in Bugsy Malone I felt I was in Character at all times even when I had my little fight and had stumble of as I had my solo next so I thought I performed to the best of my ability. 

The Chicago Melody in Our Showcase

In the showcase we did a Chicago melody with 4 songs from Chicago the Musical the song we started with was All That Jazz.

The next song was a solo called When Your Good to Mama.

The next song was Cell Block Tango.

The last song was a duet and it was called  Honey Hot Rag.

In this melody I was invovled in All That Jazz, The solo When Your Good to Mama and Cell Block Tango. In All That Jazz I felt it went well in perfromance and singing, what I could of done better was keeping in time with others and projecting my voice as was not wearing a mic and making sure im in time with others in volcules. But apart from that I felt it was a good performance overall. In the solo When Your Good to Mama went well as a performance as I was play a women in prison I felt i could do more by moving more and not staying in one place but apart from that I felt that I did well. In Cell Block Tango I was playing one of the Six Merry Murderes and I was playing the sixth and her victum was Lipchitz, I felt I was playing the character quite good but I could done more by being more angry during the performance and having more agression in my movements but apart from that I felt I did what could to my best ability if only I had pushed myself more in the performance.

My group Song in the Show Case

In the show case on the 14th of May I done a trio song called Omi God in the musical called Legally Blonde along with Ruth and Cagla.

The trio song went good in the showcase, but I felt it could of gone better as the song was a really hard song for us to sing but the performance itself but I felt I could of done better when performing by being more redicoulous and also making sure I was not facing my back to the audience at times and projecting my voice more. What I could of done better was I should of been more goofy and over the top with my character and when singing the song I should sound like im saying it and come in ontime with the backing track but apart from that I felt the performance was done to the best of our ability as it was a hard song to do. And also the staging was good as we staged it and chorographed it ourselves.

My Solo in the Show Case

In the showcase that happened on the 14th of may I had a solo and I sang hopelessly devoted to you which is in the musical Grease and sang by Olivia Newton-John.

My solo in the showcase went well although I was out breath in the start of the song as my solo was after the boxer song which I took part in. I felt my solo had gone better in dress and techniqual rehearsals but apart from that I felt I could of done better and to that was to be able to know how to use a microphone as when I was belting out the chorus of the song I felt it came out a bit full on for the audience and I could also improve my performance by putting more emotion into the song as I was struggling with my volcules and I was struggling with my throat because sometimes the chorus part would come from the throat and not head voice. But apart from that I felt proud of myself coming out and performing the song best to my ability.
