Acrobatics, Freeze-Frames and Planning

Monday-
This lesson we had a more theory lesson where we discussed our technical roles. We gave eachother ideas and discussed if they would work. We got advice from Mr Fearnehough on how we can research our roles which will help us find a plan to carry out our ideas.

Wednesday (Double Lesson)-
This lesson was a VERY physical lesson! We learnt and mastered acrobatics taught by Halley.
I loved this lesson as I love doing activities like this as I am a dancer and felexible like Halley so I was very excited to be learning all these new movements.
I really wanted to master  the movements as I will be playing the Zanni (nerd) characters and these movements will fit perfectely into character when spying.
Halley added lots of variety of movements which included :

  • standing movements
  • jumps
  • standing on hands
  • floor movements
Acrobatics didn't only just teach us how to do movements but it also brought the team together. Some movements meant we had to work together as a team for example the russian circle running. It required a lot of teamwork and we pulled it off amazingly! 

Thursday-We all limped into class after our intense acrobatics lesson yesterday and today we produced freeze-frames for our commedia piece.
We first did our freezeframes and then after Mr Fearnehough came to watch them.
The first time we did them, we didn't help eachother enough and take a look at our freeze-frames to see what we could make better and change. We realised that after we did this the second time, a lot of our freeze-frames from before were just safe ones. We changed them after to make them much more fun, exaggerated and showed the story and emotions more.
