Heloooo!

Today both groups received their props that we have to incorperate into our ensembles! My group got 4 breifcases (3new one old) while the other group got 4 square cusion things (4 pink 1 blue). I am excited about using these props as it will be a challenge but hopefully it enhances our overall performance. We brainstormed several ideas for the use of them in todays lesson.

We also decided that because you weren’t there today Clarry we would take the liberty of swapping our props. So half each. We also swapped all of our ideas..oh and we combined our ensemble groups(thought it would make life easier!) We didn’t think you would mind!

Why hello all!

I havn’t made a blog entry for a while as last time i made one…lets just say the computer nearly didn’t get to see the next day.

Anyways…i am really liking alot of the ideas our group is comming up with. I like the whole concept of the ‘music food chain’ as in what music would still be around if certain artists never existed..how the world would be without them or even imagine a world without music..what would we sing at a birthday party? We have many good ideas now its just puttin gthem into to place. When we perform we really need to work on our conviction, i know its only early days but still. All of our research has all been along the same sort of line so we have similar ideas which work well together so that is working out pretty well. I liked the charcter workshop we did and the ‘audition’ thing we did. It just helped to work out if certain characters would be neccassary or not. I think it would be good to do it a bit futher down the track again just to get an idea what the character would be like and who should play it.

Well im off!

CYA!

OH MY GOD!

You have no idea the stress this blogging is causing…It takes 4 hours to load everypage AND THEN when I finally worte a massive blog and it was all flowing so well and I was saying thins I didnt even know I knew IT DELETED ON ME FOR NO REASON!…myspace is so much easier..i have no idea how to use this or add peopl

…anyways as I was saying before it deleted, today we performed our first piece of theatre in relation to the ensemble. It went alright but definatly had alot more potnetial and needed more conviction through our characters etc. I think that everyone is still a tad cautious of really getting into this and really exploring all of the potential this topic has. I do believe that oncethe ball really starts to roll it wont stop (if that makes sense!) We really need to overcome our fear of singing because we have no choice for the ensemble but i know it will be fun practising to sing and encorperated the ’sung word’. What I really would like to explore and research is the change songs really have had on the world. I want to see the differences that have come purely from a song or an artist. I have heard lots about it but not personally seen stastics or information etc on how this song or artist has changed the world. I think if I explore this concept it will help me have alot better understanding for the topic.

Well im off! CYAZ

P.S Clarry this blogging is going to be the death of me!

YO!

This is my first blog and im like soo totally excited! We have been working with our ensemble for about a week and did our first workshop on them the otherday. We started with only 5 tablaux and gradually added more and more until it became a scene. The last element we had to encorperate was song. This had us all a little stumped but excited at the same time. I can’t wait to see how the ensembles are going to pan out as both groups will have such different ideas due to the concept being so broad.
