5th-9th of october level 3 performing arts 2015

On Monday we had Rob as usual for 4 hours today, all we did was rehearse and rehearse. Rob did group by group in the theatre while the me and the others rehearsed in another room waiting for Rob. When Rob called our group we just had to perform to Rob while he was giving us directions just really to tune our piece and get 100 per cent performance ready for next week the big day which I'm looking forward to. Rob mainly directed me to look in the corner of the room to show I'm a blind character , he also told me to talk in riddles to show how I think I'm right and my characters knows everything but the man on stage doesn't have a clue what's he's on about. Rob directions to me really helped to really understand even more about my character which was very helpful. After Robs lesson we had Sharon ,in this lesson we did more monologue work this included joining pairs and explaining our back story of our monologues we did last week. Furthermore after this exercise we were asked to write our own monologues. And join a partner and they would perform our written monologues to the class. This was very helpful hopefully all of this should help me and my classmates in the bright future to come. My monologue I wrote was about love, describing the women in my life I picked love because I knew I could make a monologue easily out of it. This exercise was fun ,it gave us good experience to play around  with speeches which helps us a lot.

On Tuesday we didn't have college a usual as its our day off. On Tuesday I just worked.

On Wednesday I had Sharon first thing at 10 O'clock for tutorial, in this tutorial Sharon explained a few things that's expected of us to stay on this course after October. After this she asked us to go into groups and make a list of things we need for behaviour. We had examples like focus ,because if your focused you don't want to mess round. That was about it in Sharon's lesson just to remind us what they expect of us some people. Need to be told more then once. Furthermore after tutorial we were supposed to have Rob but he was not available. We were set a task to do by Rob writing an essay on Greek theatre. 

My final lesson was my certificate lesson Photography I just realised I haven't mentioned. Basically what I have been doing is using strips of paper and putting objects on top , exposing it to light which creates the outlines of the object. For this process you expose the piece of power then put them into chemicals and he image comes out its really cool at the end of the day its a new experience for me.

On Thursday I had my English lesson in the morning, news came to us that instead of writing a film review ,we would have to write our own creative writing piece. We had to take a name of a movie and make up a story with a title of a movie, I picked shutter island.    After we had Rob, Rob was still finding tuning for the other groups. So we didn't have a lesson with Rob he just opened rooms for us to do self directed learning. In self directed learning I rehearsed my lines over and over again , just to see if I could add more emphasis on my behalf. Furthermore even though I knew all my lines I kept saying them out loud just to make sure I was ready for a performance next Wednesday which is very exciting to me. 

On Friday I had my English lesson in the morning in this lesson we just practised writing our own creative writing pieces. Hayley our English teacher gave us English packs to help us with vocabulary and ingredients needed in our creative writing pieces for good marks. After my English lesson we had Rob for the rest of that day in this lesson we recorded letters we wrote last week in character of our Greek theatre scripts. I'm Tryisisias a blind prophet accusing Oedipus of being a murdered. My letter was a written to his wife to Jocasta to give him to me to face justice for the crimes he has done. This was a good exercise to see how we really know the background of our characters and play. Help us smash the shapes of out characters the best we can. After this  we did something very interesting doing our Scenes in our play Oedipus but converting our lines to modern language. This really helped me to understand my character fully and see if I know the character as well as I say I do. This exercise also really helped to see if I could use the emotions of my character in the modern error we live in.
