On 15/11/16 we began the lesson by discussing our own initial ideas for our upcoming showcase at Durrington High School. We felt that it was important to listen to everyone's ideas so we had a group discussion (video linked below) in which we all listened to each other and talked about the best options we could take into consideration and what would work best for our performance. We eventually decided to have one performance workshop after a few songs, and then a few songs after the workshop, so that the audience can leave on a positive note without having to only remember working on choreography.

We then split the class into two smaller groups, one group were to organise the work shop based on our group ideas, and the other were to organise the performance. My group talked about the performance aspect to the showcase and discussed the ideas for songs based on our discussion with the whole class about what songs would work best. We discovered that we only had 30 minutes to perform the songs and workshop, so we thought about cutting down the ensemble songs to save time. This was effective because with little rehearsal time left it meant that we would have less to block, and it would therefore look more polished and engaging for the audience, and we could then use each others energy to give an effective performance.

We then completed the lesson with a rough run through of what we had thought of so far for a rough measurement of time, and this was effective because it meant that we could look at what needs the most work to give the most engaging performance possible and keep the audience involved and interested.
