Working Freelance - Week 7

Mind - 

We didn't have a mind session this week.


Panto - 

Next week is the show, so this week the session was another full on session. This weeks session we worked on everything and focused more on their facial expressions on stage and listening to the other actors talking. A couple of them found it easy but some found it difficult, I think this could be because there were stuff happening in the other room which they could hear and they could see them on stage which distracted them. I found myself  constantly telling them to concentrate as I found it very difficult to concentrate as well as them.

Tech Run –
This week, we had a tech run. The children didn’t come because it was on a Tuesday night so I went to see what was happening in their sections. I found it easier to understand the scene before and after so I know what I’m listening out for, I feel I have a better understanding of the panto and what I need the kids to work on. For example, they need to work on being cool on stage so I am planning on getting them to bop up and down when someone else is talking so it makes them look more like a group but I will need to try it this weekend to see if it works but I’m aware that I don't want to add much more as the show is next week.

This week my weakness would have to be that I through lots of negative feedback and not enough positive feedback so the following week I will plan to be more positive towards the children to give them more confidence in what their performing.

My strengths was staying on track as there were so many other things going on that it became distracting for me and the children. But this week only a couple who were more interested in what other people were doing rather than themselves .
