Chinese New Year Dance - Activity

 (LO1) I have performed quite a few dances before in school but I have never performed a hip-hop fast beat song as I never thought I would be capable of doing the dance properly and correctly. Now that I have actually rehearsed it and performed it, I have discovered that I am capable of dancing hip-hop if I actually try to and put in effort. (LO2) The challenge was having to learn the dance moves within a short amount of time, me and Panittha only had 2 hours with Nokweed to learn the dance so we had to rehearse separately on our own whenever we could. Especially since it was a fast song it was challenging to make sure that we do not miss a beat. (LO3) Working with Panittha to rehearse the dance choreography ourselves made it a lot easier because we would both help each other with the parts that we are certain of and whichever part one of us was unsure of how to do it or couldn't do it fast enough, we would practice it over and over again until we knew how to do it. (LO4) I have massive stage fright when it comes to not dancing in a group, at first there was suppose to be 2 other people dancing with us but they couldn't remember the choreography so they pulled out of the dance last minute. I felt very anxious to be dancing it alone with Panittha so I wanted to remove myself from the dance as well but my best friend Nokweed has worked very hard with this dance. So I decided that I made a commitment to her in the beginning and a promise that I would do this dance so I went through with it. (LO5) It was ethical of me to not pull out of the dance last minute because it would have been inconvenient for my friend and Panittha would've had to dance alone. So, we decided to conquer our fear of performing a dance without a large group of people, I felt really great after it and would most likely do it again.

LAMDA Gold Medal Exam - Creativity

I have done a few Lamda exams over the years and took drama as an Igcse subject so this year I decided to do the last level exam which was Grade 8 the gold medal. (LO1)  I'm able to memorize monologues very quickly so it eliminates one of the many hard obstacles of the exam. However, what I need to develop is the range of emotions for each character as there are 3 exams so that I do not end up having the same emotion in each monologue. (LO2) Another challenge was the knowledge section of the exam where we had to choose a practitioner to learn about and be tested on. I chose Constantin Stanislavski as I remembered his acting techniques from researching about him during my Igcses. The lamda examiner questioned me about how Stanislavski turned realism to naturalism withn acting and what were his teachings. (LO3) The perseverance part was the hardest as I would struggle to split my time between homework, school work and revision that I usually do during my free periods that would be re...
