Todays lesson was about Ali Baba as i didnt bring in my backs i was told to sit out for most of the lesson. There ws some bgood ideas being used but I didnt have any input.
The second lesson the idea of being bstract was really going well however I feel the group including me will have to increase our concentration.

Todays lesson was all about Es-Sindibad the sailor this was with Jamie and he started by telling us to try to make a bird which was alike the time he told us to make a house but it seems some people didnt listen as it became a brawl again. We were then told to focus and ask a few people to start out this worked a lot better.
We were then given masks from Jamie and some poeople not myself but others were told to wear them and project there emotion even tthough the masks had there own expression some people found this hard but after a while it worked here are some examples....
We were then told to make a box shape out of sticks and we made up a little routine this proved quite chaleenging with some people saying they didnt want to do it however with a bit of persaverence we managed to succeed
Strengths: For this lesson I was actaully quite focused and i will need to carry this into next lesson.
Weaknesses: my weaknesses are that I need to try ideas out more.

At the begining of this leson we would have a 4 to 5 week schedule which diesheartened a few people but made me more determined to try and make up for all my abscences.
Most of this lesson was focusing on the prolgue so I didnt have much to do I tried learning some of my lines. And looking at how I was going to perform certain characters as I had been given Haroun who was a very big contrast to the little begger.This willl allow me to exten my range in a performance and learn to change my acting styles swiftly.
Strengths: My strengths were that i self taught my self resonably well I got on with what i had to do and chipped in for ideas when the proglogue needed it.
Weaknesses: My weakness was that I am again being very dusruptive even though im working im not helping the group as well as the fact that as a group we need to start getting a higher level of discipline.

In this lesson I was rring to go as I had missed two previous lessons so I was eger to try and impress jamie and gaving. I was told I was going to be the little Begger which I was happy about because I felt I would be able to make this character my own and allow me to really perform and start to stop holding back.
I was then told we were going to continue blocking the Prologue so after I was positioned and told what to do. We were then postioned on two sides of the stage in an arc like line with sticks. We then worked on our cues for when we do certain moevments whcih i found tobe pretty simple. We then started getting a feel for the roles of certain people for exaple I felt sharayer played by Arnold and Sharazad played by Daniella had good chemistry and would work well together.
I feel that for the upcoming performance im going to need to really apply myself learn my lines and take it seriously as I dont do that enough.I also need to start trning up and on time and stop missing so many lessons. These are big improvements that i feel will enable me to properly fufill my potential.

Lesson 1 In this lesson Jamie went over some more dance techniques we started with a warmup which is helping me with my flexibility which I do lack in, we then went onto learning some more dance routines. I feel this is helping me a lot and would like to learn some more of it.
Lesson 2 In this lesson we were given post stick notes in which we had to write stuff down the order was this...
Pink - Random word
Blue - Action
Yellow - A Character
Green - A Childrens Playing Game.
We were told to make this into a routine and create a clever way of linking all the things together.
Strengths- My strengths were my new found ability to work in a group to make a nice routine and help eveyone to express there ideas.
Weaknesses- My weakneses were the fact tht I again had a huge lack of focus.

1st February - My Birthday
Lesson 1- In this lesson Jamie split us up into two groups and we wre told we were going to be given different things to create using our body also trying to be a little abstract...
The first was a door we decided to make a revolving door and won the first round as the other groups was to simple.
We then had to make a traffic light we decided to lie on the floor and make one but this did not get s a point.
We then had to create the sea but with using some fabric our group decided to have a nice looking wave with different coloured fabric it looked very good and got us the point.
In this lesson we realised that we had to listen to eachother and work as a team to get the job done.
Lesson 2- In this lesson the whole group was told by Jamie to make a 3-D house during this proccess a lot of people were trying to take control I noticed this and stepped back as I did not want to add a the ramble me and other people then discussed the idea in a way that was not problematic to the class and allowed eachother to speak this way we formulated a simple idea that we and a few other people agreed would work however many other people were trying to get there idea across so me and Teri satyed quite. The next period Jamie had noticed this we theen tried out idea and it managed to work which again showed how working as team in a civil manor.
Strengths- My strengths were my ability to use what I had learned personally in other lesson to help me perform better in this one and that was the ability to hear other people out but also get myself heard when I come up with a good idea of myself.
Weaknesses- My weakness was the fact that I did not communicate with my other class sooner and tell them to listen to everyone else and stop trying to take control as this was resulting in ideas being mixed and them not working.

In todays lesson we were told about or FMP we were told it was oging to be Arabian Nightss. Now I did not know what this was before but after being told it had many stories into one I quite like the flexibility of it and the factt we could do anything with it. his greatly intruiged me and after being told more by Gavin and Jamie I was estativc about it.
We read halfway through the script and i found that inbetween these very fun story was a very nice intimate part that broke up the story. I also found that most of the stuff we had been doing linked very well into this idea of story tellling.
Strengths- My strengths were that as I was so enthusiastic about this play when we read it our i volunteered to do the play and I kept reading when I got home.
Weaknesses- Again my weakness was my lack offocus and also that fact that I was late and didnt come in the lesson before.And could of missed some important information.
