Joanne 8th sep.

Things we did:
We warmed up using different physical moves from each person in the class.

We developed our motif movements by adding different levels and contrast movements.

We also had to combine our sequence with another person, in pairs.

My strengths: I can comunicate and work well with other people.

Dominique lesson Friday 5th:

Today in our class we did an exercise  which involved a lot of connection between the students since we had to merge the movements that our pair created with another pair. We also did an exercise where we had to speak and do movement at the same time.
I learnt how to combine the vocal part with the movement which would help me in my musical theatre lessons.
What was difficult? Combining the moves together with another pair to fit it in especially where we only had one person to join me.
Target: I'm going to practise the sequence at home so i dont forget the moves and the vocal part together.
