Coming into this unit, the thought of performing in public or having to teach the art of performing, whether it be dance, song or drama petrified me. The Arts making task, therefore was a frightening concept. I found comfort however in several of my viewings as part of this unit, namely the Socks Off Dance at the Gallions clip (NewbubblesLtd, 2012), the array of performances I watched by Sarah Kay and several other video clips that were part of this unit. I found the Socks off clip particularly inspiring, as I felt the teacher in the last scene of the clip was talking directly to me and giving me just the advise that I needed not to be afraid of teaching the arts. I started to develop a real sense that performing and teaching performance was

Upstage is back, downstage is front, right is left, left is right, out is up, break a leg but don't really, wings have nothing to do with birds, the catwalk doesn’t involve cats, and when the stage manager says move it means move. The theatre vocabulary is very confusing for the outside world, but for me it is my second language. More specifically, I have developed a passion for the technical elements of theatre over the years. The joy of being the “people in black” that can make amazing sets and produce incredible plays which goes unnoticed.. Although this discourse is much small yet complex it has helped me find out who I am but also in my academic skills through learning how to work in teams, solve problems independently but also how to be

On March 16 I saw The Wedding Singer at Lawrenceville High School. Overall the Performing Arts Department did a good job with the resources they were given. The students were able to bring the characters of 70’s adults to the stage for most of the time and the costumes helped project those characters even more. Sadly the singing was only semi-decent and after intermission the amount of energy on stage went downhill fast and by the final celebratory number it was clear the majority of the actors were simply reciting lyrics and doing dance moves instead of enjoying what they were doing.

Because I am in community theatre, I represent not only my community, but the company I am in as well. TACT has taught me how to express myself to a large group of people, to be dedicated, and to work hard to obtain a positive outcome. I have been performing through TACT since 2009. Ever since I began theatre, I started singing lessons. I am one of the older performers, so I must be a favorable epitome for the children who look up to the older actors.

The characters that I most relate to in the story are Sniff and Haw. Sniff because he got the skills to recognize and respond to changes in the environment much quicker than the others. He gets excited about creating new things and wants others to get excited with him. Another character that I can relate to is Haw, because he got the ability to understand and connect well with others. In the video, it is Haw who follows the two mice Sniff and Scurry, but at the same time was worried about where Hem is and how he’s doing.

I enjoyed and preferred performing in front of Year 9s as I knew I was part of the Year 9 group and was confident to receive their feedback both critical and constructive. Different audiences did affect my performance due to the fact that there were mature audiences. I wanted to perform my best and portray my character to the fullest potential as I was seeking acknowledgement/commendation gestures from the mature audiences on my character ‘Jordan’. Performing the same show four times a day was a bit exhausting though I found myself improving and gaining confidence as the delivery of my script was getting better each time. Also, I was totally engrossed in the character and couldn’t help myself out.
