Silent Movie & Time - Drama

Today for drama we were talking about a silent movie. A silent movie is a movie that has everyone being silent and not talking. The silent movie can have many different Themes like fear, Happyness, Comedy, or even death. In my silent movie, we used cowboy hats, fake guns, fake flowers, and a few boxes as a bar stand for it was a scene about the wild west. I was a Sherif, Ella was the bartender, Damion was a drunk gold miner, Tamsyn was the piano lady and finally, Lucy was the outlaw. I think that we did pretty good. We did two rounds, one with running through perfectly and the other with someone shouting out freeze or stop controlling what we were doing.

This Is Me - Form time

During our form time, we have been learning about our country and what has been going on. We made it into a google drawing with color and tried to make it more interesting. Personally, I didn't think that this was helpful just a waste of time.

Singing In Theater - Drama

Today for drama I was reading Singing In Theater by Ruth Bjorklund. I learned that most people who go for the roles in plays go through dance classes, acting classes, and singing classes which is why they are the ones who are most likely to win the part. Nearly everyone begins his/her theater singing career in the chorus. When the show closes each night, before you completely collapse, you must accept your reward applause. The most important thing on stage is energy so if you don't have the energy you won't get that part you want to so it is best if you try with all you have got when you audition.
