Rocket Writing

The man had one problem and that problem was that he kept banging his head on the sealing. The main question it was the man big or was the building too small. His job was to open and close doors for business workers and to clean the toilets. He was perfect for that stuff because he was so big, not big as in fat! Big as in tall and bigger than usual, like a giant! He was good at all sorts of different things and that’s why he is a good helper and the business. He would always dress in a suit and a tie to look like a normal man even know he is a giant.

Term 3 Dance & Drama Reflection

Dance and Drama Brief

In your dance/drama group, create a short play to tell the chosen story.   Your play must be between 5 and 8 minutes long (including music/dance).

The drama must:
Be 4- 7 minutes long
Show and vary the different elements of drama (role, situation, time, space, tension, focus, action, mood).
Include all of the drama techniques (Voice, Body, Movement, Gestures, facial expressions).

The dance must:
Be 30 seconds - 1 minute long (we can trim)
Use music selected for its message/emotion to connect with the story, or include music played by our own students
Show and vary the different elements of dance (Relationships, Time, Space, Body Awareness,
Energy)

Reflection:
How well did we achieve the brief (above)? We achieved some of the briefings such as the drama having emotions and themes.

How well did we work together as a group – what went well?
We had some trouble finding parts for us to play in the dance and drama but that got resolved by working as a team and excepting ideas.

How well did we work together as a group – what were our challenges?
Our challenges were giving everyone a part.

How did we overcome our challenges?
The challenges were that I was worried that the technology may not work, such as the music stopping. I overcame this by slowing down what i was doing (but not so long it took ages!) and I was checking in with each group on when, where, and how to start their music.

How did I feel about our work, in the end?
I felt proud of myself for doing the technology for the whole production. I felt the 6 square group did a good job because they were able to discuss and sort our problems.
