Unit 8: Personal Production

Unit 8:

Introduction To This Unit

This Unit is focused around us as individuals and what we feel we have achieved so far and the skills we think we would need in the future.

Context

In class with Rebecca we talked about whether we've changed since we first started at the college or have evolved.
We also talked about whether we want to stay on the course and move onto level 3 or pick another course to do.
Lastly, we done a skills sheet and wrote down all the skills that we feel we have achieved so far and the skills we need to work on.
I found this lesson really really useful because it helped me realize what areas I need to work and focus on.




Skills Achieved are:
  • Team work
  • Respect
  • Organisation skills
  • Flexibility
  • Punctuality
  • Determination
  • Confidence
  • Body Language
  • Maturity
  • Initiative
  • Enthusiasm
  • Leadership
  • Speaking my mind
  • Professional
My weaknesses are:
  • Communication skills
  • Positivity
Evaluation

In my opinion I feel that I have changed and evolved a lot as a person. I have become a lot more confident than I was before. I would be nervous to perform in front of other people at times but, now I've developed as an individual and have a lot more self esteem. I speak my mind, am more independent, I don't care about what others think of me, I take more risks and am confident in stepping out of my comfort zone since before I would be afraid of looking silly in front of other student but now who cares, it's fun and I like it.
Moving onto level 3 performing arts is exactly what I want to do. I've always been interested in acting and becoming a successful actress is what I want in life. Acting allows me to be free and forget about my problems that are going on in life. Acting is a passion for me and allows me to express my feelings and my point of view and I want nothing  more than to do level 3 performing arts.

Even though this unit was short, the lesson we had with Becca helped me focus on what I want in life and the goals that I need to set for myself. It was also nice to having a class discussion and seeing my peers point of views on situations since it may also apply to me.

Unit 9: King Ubu

Unit 9: King Ubu Introduction To King Ubu In this unit I will be looking at the play King Ubu and it's background. The play King Ubu is like a funnier, more wild and more bizarre version of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Context&Planning Over the past week we've gone over the King Ubu script top to bottom and got an idea of what the play is actually about. We watched a couple skit YouTube videos based around political subjects such as Teresa May and Donald Trump. The reason to why we watched these videos is to get an idea of what the King Ubu play is about and why it is the certain characters talk the way they do e.g "SHIKT and Stagger Me Sideways". In my opinion I didn't find any of these videos funny which apparently were supposed to be. For the last half of the lesson we done a sculpture activity. For this activity we got into pairs and labelled ourselves A or B. Person A would sculpt person B into any person that they wanted them to be such as a family...

Unit 5, 6 & 7: Immigration and The Container Performance Unit 5: Immigration Introduction to This Unit In this unit will be focused on immigration and the reason behind it. We will also be looking into different cultures. Context&Planning For our warm up game we played a quick game of Splat! We then focused on immigration and the reasons as to why it occurs, for example, it could be because of better jobs, war, better education etc. We then got into groups of 4 and had to create a short scene based on what immigration meant. My group decided to create a short scene were there were 2 discriminating officers and 2 immigrants  who were coming over to our country and we were continuously questioning them on why they wanted to live in our country. Once we finished, each group performed their piece in front of the class and got feedback. We were split into three groups of four people and in our groups we were each given an A3 sheet of paper to write down what we th...

Unit 1&2: Identity&Introduction To Production

Unit 1: Identity Introduction To This Unit In this unit we will be looking at developing different skills and creating our own first performance piece. The theme will be 'Identity'. Context&Planning In my first lesson I had with our preforming arts teacher, Rob, our class done warm up activities such as walking around the room while making eye contact with each other since that is an aspect which all actors need. While walking around the room we all had to be aware of the space we had around us and use it as much as we could. Next we done a reverse activity which is were if Rob would say go we would stop and if he said stop we would go. We also done the same with jumping and clapping. The reason why we done this activity is to focus on our listen skills which is very important for actors. I liked this activity as it would test me and create a little challenge. Once we finished that activity we then needed to find our selves a pair and labelled our selves either A o...
