Second week to btec performing arts

Are second week of Btec performing arts was very different to are first, as we did many different types of activities. I enjoyed this week as much as I did the week before and yet again I feel I have already learnt and achieved so much.

Monday 13th September-
On Monday we had a lesson with Miss Dolan, and got set are first assignment for the course, assignment C14-development of dance. We sat in a group and spoke about the task, it sounds very hard but I’m sure when I set my mind to it, it will turn out well. This project is set for an 8 month time period, but we are also aloud to do some of it in lessons.

Tuesday 14th September-
Tuesday are first performing arts lesson of the course. We got changed into are dance clothes, and then went in the hall to start. Miss Dolan took a warm up, so we were warm and stretched out before dancing; this is so there is less chance for an injury. Miss Dolan had prepared a really nice contemporary dance to a song called Heartbeat. She taught the dance then we went through it a few times to the music. Here is a video of the whole group doing the dance to the song 'Heartbeat'-



I really enjoyed doing this and I had a lot of fun. Once we had finished Miss Dolan took a cool down so we wouldn’t have sore muscles the next day, here is a picture of us cooling down-

Wednesday 15th September-
On Wednesday we had a lesson with Miss Hearne who is in charge of the costume design part of Btec Performing Arts. In this lesson we handed in the homework, and she gave us 3 more tasks to do. We had already chosen are colours that we want to include for are Historical costume; I had chose pink, white, and gold. We had to get a coloured pallet including the colours we had chosen and then we went through different shades of the colours we wanted to use. I thought this was good fun, and good practise as it made me think about colours in a more experienced way.

Thursday 16th September-
Today we had our second practical lesson with Miss Dolan, and we got changed and straight into are warm up as there was no time to waste. We went over the dance and practised it a few more times to the music, and then Miss Dolan taught us the ending of the dance. I thought it was really good fun, and was a challenge at times but when we got the hang of it we all managed it and i think it looked very good as a group. At the end of the lesson we spoke about what we will be doing in are next practical lesson, and I can’t wait to learn the next dance.
