Monday 18th september.

Monday morning with Rob we played a few games to warm us up such as 'it' and musical chairs it was strange to me though because those are primary school games but after that we got into small groups and had to brainstorm the different types of acting skills an actor would need which you'll see below.

When we were finished with that we got told to go in a circle placing our hand on our stomach breathing in and out to feel the way it feels when air comes in and out through the nose/mouth. Then we got giving tongue twisters to get our mouth ready for tricky pronunciations and vowels which we had to go up and say one by one in a deep voice, it was slightly awkward because he wanted us to look at everyone in the eyes as we said it but we managed to do it.

Over here is the vowels and tongue twisters we had to use during the lesson. 

Afterwards,we went for our lunch break and headed off to Sharon's lesson in the dance studio.We sat in a circle and read a Shakespeare poem together out loud then we all had to pick a word which we thought stood out to us and gave a gesture when we said it. When we did that for a good half an hour we paired up and took turns to read the poem to each other as if we were the character.

This is the Shakespeare poem we were working on today and from it we devised a little drama piece.We got put in groups and each group had different paragraphs to say / act out my group used the middle verse and we performed it group by group then at the end put each piece together as one.

At the end of the lesson Sharon gave us all this sheet to fill out which is basically summing up what we did the whole lesson, she said we will be given sheets like this in some of the lessons to be completed.
