youtube discovery!

Why hello!

The otherday our group was working on a large portion of our ensemble which shows the transformation from slavery to gospel to hip hop music which slowly became more and more commercialised. it was my job to try and script the gospel scene and i have been looking on youtube at gospel music and documentary thins and it has been really insightful. ‘oh happy days’ was one of the first, if not the first commercialised gospel song sung by the edwin hawkin singers. initially it was banned from churches and even homes because it was to ‘wordly’ but no days younger generations consider it traditional music. im still tossing a few ideas around but i have an idea of how to make the scene work and begin to show the commercialistaion of gospel/ hip hop music.

anyways im off to eat nachos!!…mmmm nachos!

long time no see!

Why hello all!

Sorry for my bloging absence!

Our group has come a long way since my last blog. We now have a fairly sturdy storyling going and plenty to work off and fill in to make a very rich performance. I came up with the an idea that maybe the ‘disposable pop stars’ or maybe their manager are coin operated. They only run off money highlighting how now days the music industry is soo money orientated. Also we have to encorperate alot more SONG i think we should just bust out into random song, well at least i have the erge to do that anyways and i do do it…when no1 is home at home!

Last night we went to watch the play ‘exit the king’ with himself geoffrey rush! the play was amazing, it really kept the whole audience captivated until the end. I really enjoyed it.
