Wednesday 9^th January 2013:
Skills audit

Singing: My strongest skill is probably singing. I feel that when I’m singing I am no longer self-conscious and I gain a lot of confidence that I find hard to achieve from any other performance aspect. I am very comfortable singing

Acting: Acting is probably close first with singing as I am quite comfortable getting into character (depending on the depth).

Dance: Dance is my weakest of the three. I think that this is because I don’t have very much experience in dance and am not very technically advanced. However, I do have good rhythm and have a movement memory that is good enough for me to remember a number of routines for performances.

 

My Character in Don’t Feed The Animals:

My character in DFTA ‘Gang Member 2’. This character is very simple and part of group of four Gang members, played by Maisie, Lauren and Amber. I am really happy with this part as it is nice to be part of an ensemble rather than having leading/principle roles with more “responsibility” as we all have, more-or-less, equal amounts of dialogue. I think it’s going to be really fun having a cast who are all really equally involved in the play, as we are not used to that. I’m also really looking forward to this as the script seems really snappy and funny, and I think that it’s going to be a really enjoyable performance for both the audience and us. However, I do think that rehearsals are really important as we are all going to have to make sure that we don’t lose energy and that the scenes all flow.

We also found out today that the year 12’s are going to be working on our costumes as part of their production role grade. I am really excited to see what they come up with as I think that the costumes for this play, especially the clowns, are going to be really funny and a lot of fun to creat and use.

I am imagining my character having very simple costume; Such as leggings, a school shirt and tie, and a hoodie of some kind, as we are supposed to be “rebellious” school kids.
