Practical Lesson 1:
We started the lesson with a body warm up.
We then played musical chairs.
Afterwards, we had to think of a situation and perform it to the rest of the class. So we got up one by one with an idea of a situation. The tricky bit was not being allowed to talk. Some people picked the following situations:
We then showed Shenagh our performance for identity as she hadn’t seen it. Her thoughts about it was that it was very good.
We then performed our verbatim. Whilst people did their verbatim the rest of the class would do a background performance. For Alana’s verbatim on the lines:
“Have you ever had to shout louder than you have too? “
“Or yell just because you are a female”
“Well maybe you should live in a women’s world “
All the girls in the class say this together and after saying “or yell just because you are a female” we stand up together which will show the power of women.
Practical Lesson 2:
In our second practical class was taught by Rob. We were told to walk around the room and when he clicked his fingers we would go to the nearest person and talk about our weekend. We would repeat this activity but instead of talking we would mouth the words which was difficult because I didn’t know when my partner had finished talking and if it was my turn.
For the next activity, we stayed in our pairs and Rob would choose a historic event and in our pairs we would have to work together and use our body to make them.
The events were:
After going through it Rob helped us make it cleaner and more understandable.
After going through it again we were able to add more scenes. After practicing the performance, we talked about a dance battle that we were planning on doing in tomorrow’s class. As most of us in the class are not dancers it would be a bit of a challenge but as a team we would help each other until we are all at the same level.

- Getting ready for dinner
- Getting a call for an audition
- Seeing a family member which you haven’t seen in a long time
- Waiting to for a limo to come for a prom

- Wimbledon tennis
- The First man on the moon
