22nd's lesson included the use to cooperation (as to work within/ or part as a team *which ever way you seem fit to word it*).
To explore the use of connecting with the audience whether it's with or without words (as to understand you as an individual when it comes to stage pressence. *side note* there is still a lot to discuss about this and as time progresses you may find yourself change as an actor/ or performer so therefore many options have to be explore to get a true understanding of one's pressence)
Committment (well it doesn't come without effort, the more you put in the more you get out kinda thing)
Energy (It's always a good thing to have energy and enthusaism, well both in fact so long it doesn't become niether a distraction for you or anybody else) - finding fun in everything (work hard, play hard; that could be a way of describing it or another term "heart of a child, mind of an adult"

All of the above were apart of "playing the game" (to be updated)

In last Friday's lesson (18th) we had to do trust exercises which included a rage of  activies

16/ 09/ 2015 - Danielle Payne 226142

16th's lesson included talking about our personal strenghts, weaknesses, opportunties and threats during our acting/ drama class and how this could affect us during performances.

My strenghts within drama would probably include my ethusiasm and engery (not that it at all shows within this blog) but I like to act almost in a cocky, cheeky way because I guess acting myself would be bad, not that I'm bad it's just I'd get really shy otherwise.

My weaknesses would probably include my lack of concentration and lack of focus; but I guess I can probably improve on that... just less talking I guess.

And I suppose when we were asked about opportunties, it was basically to forsee what this course could hold for each of ask in the future and for me it would probably opened up opportunties for work in the industry but we'll check up later on that.

Also we need to do a tad bit of research on Jacques Le Coq and his "le jeu" theory

A very good phase a classmate of mine said "Teamwork is a dreamwork" --- afterall we did have to share our goals and expectations of ourselves with each other.

really awkward

so what are you meant to do when someone you liked four years ago and try to forget suddenly reappears in your life....?

Phase 1 Danielle Payne 226142

So first blog - here it goes.

Today at college; we did a few games/ activities to help with focus
and communication and improve teamwork... remember a few having
a bit too much fun at some points. Pure Chaos.

One of the games we did was "Cat and Mouse" basically just involved
chasing each other around the rest of our class mates.
Really I guessed our where you have to think on the ball and rush around
such as "Cat and Mouse" helps especially with the performing arts students...

Can't remember the name of this game... but involves guiding another person
around the room (with their eyes shut of course) and making sure they don't
bump into anyone or anything else... I think it was a part of a trust exercise.

Well that's all I believe I can say for the mean time , tomorrow I'll write more.
