Black History Month- Monday final rehearsing and planning, Tuesday tech and Thursday performing!

Monday 13th October 2014
Today in our lesson, is our finally rehearsal for our BHM performance on Wednesday! In the first part if the lesson, we filled in and planned out the final details to our performance on these planning sheets we were given. 

Firstly we had to plan out how our group wanted to be introduced on performance day. We collectively wrote this first paragraph written at the top of the page. We chose this wording to sell our song to the audience by explaining the reasoning behind our choice and promoting the artist. 



This is our simple staging plan. We decided not to go for any elaborate staging simply because we didn't think the song or content was appropriate for it. This straightforward standing formation of standing in a line of three worked perfectly for us. Simply because we were not trying to give the audience a message through movement of the way we were standing, but through our musical choice and the way we told the story of the lyrics.

 
This was our original costume plan, simply to wear typical stage clothes. Consisting of black leggings, t-shirt and shoes. However we decided to change this to our current costume plan, of varied clothing choices between the three of us (below.) We chose this because we thought it would, in a stronger way, represent how everyone is different on the inside and outside, whether it be related to personality, skin colour or background. 

 
This was what we each wore on the final performance.

  1. From Lena: Upload your evaluation, and tidy up this section by deleting the template. You describe your act quite well and analyse some aspects perceptively - particularly when you deal with costume. Try to use more specialist technical vocabulary when describing, explaining and analysing your work.
