For our first lesson, we started from scene 12 where Tybalt and Mercutio got slained by Romeo. We spent some time on this scene as it was one of the most powerful/effective scenes due to two of the main from both sides of the family getting slained by Tybalt and Romeo. This scene was very good as it showed the feud between both of the families. We then went through the rest of the play to see how it looks and to see if we can change anything else to make it more better. So we went through the play adding in more stuff in each of the scenes. This helps us as it gets us more familiar with each of the scenes.

For our second lesson, we had another drama lesson but this time with Sharon. She told us to work from scene 12 again and work our way to the end with us showing what we did with Rob. Once we showed her she began changing things in each scenes and focused on one scene to ensure that it was perfect. We focused mainly on the scene where juliet and Romeo see eachother again after Romeo slays Tybalt. We did this because it was the most effective scene as Juliet had to choose between leaving her husband for killing her cousin or stay with Romeo and forget about Tybalt. But as usual she chose Romeo over Tybalt.

For our first lesson, we had a production lesson with Sharon.
We was told to start on our blogs to get them upto date. This is useful as it helps us to finish any work that we need to finish off for our blogs.

For our second lesson, we had a drama lesson with Rob. For our starter, we were told to stand in a circle and warm-up. We then was told to do some stretches to warm ourselves up. We then went straight into rehearsal of our play Romeo and Juliet, where this time we started from the scene where Tybalt dies to the end of the play where Romeo and Juliet dies. This is crucial as if enables us to learn about the ending of the play and the way we need to act.

For our first lesson, we had a drama lesson with Sharon where we were told to stand in a circle and do a warm-up as a group. Warm-ups help us to get ready for a performance. This also enables us to do good in performances due to us being warmed up. We then went straight on to the rehearsal. We started from the first scene where u see the feud between both families. But at the start the prince stopped it. This shows the priority that the prince has over them as he is part of the Royal family. This also shows the respect that he gets due to him be such upper class.

For our first lesson, we had a blog lesson with Sharon. We were told to write up what we did in each of our performing and production arts lessons.

For our second lesson, we had a drama lesson with Rob. For our starter, we had a quick warm-up where we had to stand in a circle in drama neutral and do a vocal warm up.  This helps us to project our voices and it helps us with our articulation. Then we went straight into the rehearsal from the first scene to the last scene. For example, from the feud scene at the start of the play to the scene where Romeo and Juliet die together. This helps us to get more familiar with the play and for is to learn the scenes more better. This also helps us to understand the stage directions even more.

For our last lesson, we had a drama lesson with sharon.
For our warm up we did a quick vocal warm up to get us started for when we rehearse. We did vocal warm because it helps us with our articulation on our words. After that we went straight into rehearsal with Sharon  told us to carry on from the scenes we did with Rob. She done this because she wants to improve our scenes. We did it several times to ensure that everyone knows what they are meant to do in that scene.
