Prologue

We worked on the prologue and because the Vizier wassnt there i filled in for him and took down what he does for when he comes back. There photos were taken from setting the first part. As a group we had the strength of keeping focused so we went through to plotting and then in to making it better. At this point we all throw in our ideas on what would look good but as a group we tried it out and if it didnt work we would have changed it.
As we did the first part of the prologue theres a scene where the Vizier would say
'And the halls of this palace would sing with his laughter'
everyone had to raise up from bowing and laugh loudly, Gavin then said who ever laughs the best will win some of Ali Baba's gold(Chocolate coins) this made everyone go in to character and it brought the scene to life.
As it was the first it was best not have everyone center stage doing something so having times where it would need marking the moment it was easy for example when King Shahrayar would say the line
'The King swore that from now on he would marry for one night only'
all the girls accept from Shaharazad and Dinarzad would form a line facing the audience then turning to there backs and dropping on there heads would represent the killing of every wife the King had married and killed.
In the last half of the prologue we had a marrage scene, we thought of different ways to show this scene but at the end we had a white net help over the King and Shaharazad it helped mark the moment as it made them center of attention.


My strengths are that i was focused and on time for cues.
My weaknesses was that i needed to focus more on what instruction Gavin gives.
Strengths of the group are that we were focused and we listened to everyones ideas.
We had some weaknesses when we broke out of focus

Characters

Marjanah is a slave girl in the story Ali Baba. She seems down to earth and willing to help, but shes water because shes controlling and is being controlled.

Creativity

The words on these postick notes are Man, Hide and Seek, Looked, Fall over, Women, Emotion and Toilet.

In this lesson we got given postick notes. On the yellow one we had to write down a character, the green one we had to write a game, the blue one was had to write down a action word and the pink one we had to write a random word.

With the words my group were given we created a story about a man who played hide and seek looking for the women and fell over, the women was emotional and went to the toilet.

My strongest point was working in a group with people i wouldnt normally work with and i stayed focus.
My weaknesses were that i found it hard to create a good story from the words that we were given.

The Elements

Explain taking the dynamics of an element in to our bodies
The Elements are Earth, Fire, Water and Air.

'we are like marble,every character is there,waiting to be carver out and created' Leonardo Di Vinci
This sayingin my opinion is a good saying because it shows everyone that were all different but we are start the same.

In the lesson we were laying down and we let our bodies relax to the ground, as we got slowly up we moved around as if we was the elements. after this we put emotions with it for example if we was air with love, the movements would be jumpy, flowy, bouncy and light. the emotions that we did were love,sad,happy,anger and fear.

My strongest point was that i had confidence to express myself through movement and i was focused in the lesson.
My weakest was not being able to let my emotions out clearly
I want to take my focus and confidence across to the next lesson as it helps to get the work done.
