Cabaret

On Friday we did our cabaret performance which our performing arts group participated in doing a Bhangra story shown through dance! Our whole topic this term has been focussed on Bhangra so we put together all the new skills we had learnt and made a performance piece based around a certain theme of our choice which we chose forbidden love.

We have been rehearsing all week to make sure this would be polished and ready to perform. I think we worked really hard and my favourite topic in the unit was when we where making are performance with a story line, I found this reallt fun as we had a real go and feel of Bhangra dance, and the choreography needed etc. When we performed Miss Butt lent us some traditional Bhangra scarfs to dance in, I thought these where really pretty! We all did are makeup to suit the theme of Bhangra as well as are hair, with the help from Miss Butt who knows the culture of Bhangra dance, so she was a real help!

We had our own interpretation for are choreography which made both the groups unique! We opened the second hald so during the interval we had a practise to made sure everyone remembered what they where doing. As we got on stage I started to become nervous but I had so much fun with what I was doing, and found it such a fun style of dance to do and research. There was a massive applause and it was a great atmosphere. Miss Dolan videoed the performance so we could watch it back.

I loved focussing on Bhangra and found the style so much fun to do! I definatley will remember all the skills I have learnt and use it in the future.
