Junior Drama Blog

Hello welcome to my blog.

On my blog I will be sharing my learning in drama and recording my progress. I’ll be looking back on my blog to see how I can improve and get improvement from other people’s comments or ideas.

In drama we look at making entertainment to educate and to heal people with our emotion and acting.

Cooking Kumara in the oven

This Week I made Kumara and I put Salt and Pepper and Oil on it and I mix the Kumara with the oil and after that I put it in the oven for 20 minutes and when I heard the beep sound that means times up and I will get a oven mit to move the baking tray out of the oven and I will wait for it to cool down and when it’s cooled down that means I can try 1 piece of Kumara and when I tried it that means it will be so yummy and tasty.

I wonder I can make the Kumara and put it in oven at my house.

brownie and ice cream

On Monday we made ice cream.  Shyanne and I were making chocolate ice cream.

We melted the chocolate, made it with melted chocolate and condensed milk,

then we folded the remaining chocolate into the condensed milk and chocolate.

The melted chocolate started to melt, before we could put it into the ice cream.

We had a big lump of chocolate, then we put the ice cream into the fridge.

Fix you dance

This is the process of our fix you dance before what show we started off by searching images that are related to loss or grief of losing someone that you have loved in your life.for me I picked my four pictures that match’s the grief of losing someone.We had to come up dance movements from each picture we selected of our own choice. For me I had some helped from my teacher miss Dave’s cause It was difficult for me to make up my own contemporary dance so I’m glad I had amazing teacher to help me.

Fix You Dance Process

This is the process that we did to make our fix you dance.

The first thing we did was listen to the song and find out the meaning. Fix You is a song about grief and loss of a person or item. Once we did that we searched up at least three images that related to the song. These images had to have more than one person. After that we had to write down the feelings and emotions shown in the picture. We also had to describe the shapes made in the picture.

Once we did that we had to choose one person in each image to replicate and use their position as our still image. Then we had to link all the four still images together to create two sets of eight counts. Next we had to choose at least one of our still images to travel using locomotive movement. We also had to make sure that we had different levels.

Once if one has made the solar sequences where they combine them all together in a logical order. Once we did that we used choreographic devices and structures to create a solo section that was faster. After that we did also add a little bit for the ending bit. And that is how we created our dance to Fix you by Coldplay.

The Fix You dance process

Today I did the Fix you dance but it was hard to make. First we listened to the song and then we used photos [3 to 4] and made them into the movements we and you know today but before we could dance we removed one or more person from the photo and the the movement from the last person, all the feelings are sad and more it’s about the blue zone. We also had to make the photos head slowly as butter, not just that was needed we also had to make sure we had different levels combined with all the sequences in a logical order, we then use choreographic devices and structure to make a solo section that was faster. I think the Fix you dance has gone great and will continue to get better by the day.

The Actual W.H.A.T Show Performance

The W.H.A.T show was so amazing. I am so happy with how it turned out. I really enjoyed the experience and it was a great opportunity to get used to performing on stage in front of people. Even though it definitely could have been better, it was still amazing and I think everyone who watched it enjoyed it.

Some things that went well is the main performance. Overall everyone did amazing and put so much effort into their pieces. The transition between acts was also quite smooth considering the lack of practice we had before the actual performance. I also think that most the audiences were really good and added more hype which encouraged us more and that made the performances better.

Some things definitely could have been better. One being the organisation of our Indian dance as we couldn’t wear our head pieces for one of the performances. That didn’t matter too much but it would have been better if we had them. I also would have preferred bigger changing rooms and also not have to have so many quick costume changes. I did manage the quick changes but they were a little bit of a challenge.

There isn’t much that I would change but if I could change anything I would make it so I didn’t have so many quick costume changes and have bigger changing spaces. I also think it would be a good idea to have the dancers changing rooms not so close to the stage cause it made noise backstage.

W.H.A.T Show 2025. I think some things we could consider for next year is to have our changing rooms moved into a bigger space not so close to the stage. Also having a live stream in the changing room so that we know what’s happening on stage would be cool. It would also let us watch our friends who are on stage. Especially for me, I really wanted to watch but I couldn’t until after.

Overall I absolutely loved the W.H.A.T Show and I would 100% recommend it and it is a great thing to be a part of. Everyone did amazing and I can’t wait to be in it again next year.

WHAT show review.

On the 27th of June at 7PM a show happened. I liked it but I could have done better at the 8:30AM/1PM shows on Wednesday and Thursday. There was 5 performances and we performed to primary schools and intermediate schools. We also performed for the parents on Thursday evening. Everything went well nothing would be better, we might have Free Bird as a song to dance to [high energy]. When everyone was cheering for me it made me feel famous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTsUIyfOjIU&t=986s
