Ual level 3 performing and production arts

Monday 2nd October 2017

For our first lesson we had a dram lesson with Rob. For our warm up with did a vocal warm up to work on our articulation and to warm up our bodies. We then played a game of yes and no. This game is based on someone sitting on a chair and someone asking them questions about their day, etc. The aim of the game was to not say either yes or no otherwise your out. We then went straight into the rehearsal of romeo and Juliet and we was rehearsing up until the party scene. This is useful as we get a full understanding of what happens from the start of the play until the party scene.

For our second lesson we had a drama lesson with Sharon.  For our starter we did another vocal warm up to work on our articulation and our voices. This is useful for us as it helps us to not get jumbled up with words and for us to project our voices when we are on stage. Then we went straight into the rehearsal of romeo and Juliet. We went over the party scene several times as it was the first thing we was gonna show to the audience in the theatre at kings cross.  We also added in a couple more things , for example, extra people in the scene to act as If they were civilians in the play.

For our first lesson we had a blog lesson with Rob where we was told to blog about what we did in each of our performing arts lessons.

For our second lesson we had a drama lesson with Sharon. We for told to make a circle and stand in drama neutral whilst she tells us what to do. This is effective as she is helping us to get ready for the rehearsal due to people being quite tired. Then for our started we went straight into the rehearsal from scene 1 till the party scene. This is helpful as of helps people to learn their lines quicker as we are going over it a lot of times. This is also effective due to us now knowing a lot about scene 1 to the party scene. We then got told to incorporate other things in the party scene like the girls was tellinf romeo to go away from juliet bus ss they realised that she liked him they allowed her to go to him.

For our first lesson we had a drams lesson with sharon. For our starter we did a vocal warm up where we was told to do (c and g, sand t and mpbb). This is an effective way to start off a rehearsal as it helps us with our articulation on them words and words that have them letters. We then went straight into the rehearsal starting from scene 1 to the party scene. We was rehearsing it a lot due to people not knowing their cues quick enough. This is useful as it then helps the actors to notice when to come in the stage space and when not to. We also incorporated some actors to come in as civilians to make it look more dramatic with the feud between both families taken place.

For our first lesson we had a tutorial lesson with Sharon where we also blogged about what we did in our performing arts lessons.

For our second lesson we had a drama lesson with Rob where we started off with a vocal warm up and some stretches. For example, stretching your neck by moving it from side to side and by stretching our your legs by stretching your whole body down until your hands touch the floor. This is helpful for us because if anyone feels tense we can do these stretches to loosen our selves up so we can be ready for the rehearsal. We then went straight into the rehearsal where we again worked from scene 1 to the party scene. We went over of several times to ensure that we know what to do.
