Final Blog Post

This class has taught me a lot that I didn’t know before. It taught me how to work individually and as a group. The first day of class, I remember I looked confused because I didn’t know that this type of class would be with different grades. The first person I saw was Brooklyn, and I was wondering if this was the right class. Being shy was what I needed to work on, and that is what exactly  happened by the end of this semester. I learned how to perform with other people. Now that the semester is ending I am comfortable with working with everyone in my class, and became good friends with them all. Learning how to do a sonalogue and doing a scene from The Office, taught me different things. The Office scene was very well written for my group, and we enjoyed working with each other.

My final project is a dance with myself, Brooklyn, and Hannah. This shows how we all used to dance and shows what we are good at as a performer. From this experience, I have learned how Hannah and Brooklyn perform. I feel like on this final project my group has learned more of my style of dance. We also feel more comfortable performing in front of our class then we were in the beginning of the year.

Final Project

For my final project, my group decided to do a ballet dance. All of us have danced before and ballet is one of our strengths. The song that I will be dancing to is angry bird. We all are doing different emotions and a different type of dance that showcase our strengths. My song mostly has jumps and light movements. I feel like each dance expresses how we feel and the acting that we are doing for our dance. The dances are going to be very different from one another to showcase our talents. My group is myself, Hannah, and Brooklyn and we have all danced before for a long time. This project will help us get into character. By the end of our dance, we are all going to come and have maybe a couple eight counts together. For my part, I am going to be also the more flexible one than Hannah and Brooklyn. I feel like we are going to struggle working with the dances as the group because we have never danced together and we don’t know how we dance together. For my dance since I am angry fire bird I will be wearing red to showcase that I am the angry one. Brooklyn is sad so she is wearing cool colors. Hannah is the happy one so she is wearing pastel colors. We all need to show our emotion of our character. We chose these characters by flexibility and acting. We all thought the dancing experience and the acting will be the best for our dance. All of these ideas we have now will just build from here as class goes on. We are going to try to make it as clean as we can. It is important to work together because if we don’t it won’t get done very well, and we are good at that because we all get along very well.
