Lesson 2 - 7/1/16

In this lesson we started off doing a little activity where we had a list of songs from The Wiz and we had to put them in the right order, this was an effective exercise as it showed who had done their research on The Wiz as well as educating those who didn't know.

After this we had to write down 6 characteristics we knew or thought about our character, Jess and I came up with:

• Sassy 
• Bold
• Soulful
• Caring
• Cheerful
• Naive

This got people thinking about our characters and what they're like this worked well for the next task which was to create a quick summary performance of the first half of the show, this proved to be easy for me as I had watched the show a few times however still got me thinking now about how my particular character is going through each situation within the story. Following that we then had to do the second half of the show as well.

I think our mini summary performance went well but felt that we rushed it a bit,therefore one of my targets is to make sure not to rush things when performing to do this I will practice through my lines slowly and I will do this 4 times every week. Another of my targets would be to make sure that I keep my eye line up even when I get nervous I will try and achieve this by practicing my lines in front of someone so I get used to my lines and being confident.
