The time signature of this extract is 4/4, meaning there are four beats in each bar. A full pulse note is called a crotchet and a half-pulse note is called a quaver. In this extract, I sing on my own and in bars 153-156 I am stood in neutral and not doing any choreographed dance movements. On the first beat of bar 157 I stamp very strongly and on the first beat of bar 159 I put my right arm up. In bar 161, everyone else walks and stamps every beat, however I walk and step every other beat which creates syncopation. Then we all step on every whole beat for bars 163 and 164.
Task 2 - Six
This extract's time signature is 4/4, so there are four beats in each bar. In this section, at bar 136 we all stand with our feet apart in strong confident stances and punch our right hand up. We do step ball changes with head tilts for the quavers in bars 136 and 137. The six queens each punch our right arm up on a specific crotchet in bars 138 and 139 and as I'm third from the left I do it on the third crotchet. In bars 140 and 141 there are rests but there is a drum solo and each queen crouches down at a specific part of the solo. Then for the crotchet in bar 142 we all jump up confidently and then there is a big beat in the music during that final crotchet rest where we all punch our right arms up.
Task 3 - No Way
The time signature is 4/4 meaning there are four beats per bar. There are 8 quavers (half beats) used in bar 146 meaning 4 beats in total for that bar. In bars 146 and 147 there is an emphasis on the first and third beats of the bar which are the 1st and 5th quavers. This means the 1st and 5th quavers in each bar are the beats that we turn on. We turn on beats 1 and 3 and step out on beats 2 and 4.We turn while travelling towards the edge of the stage and we do 4 turns in total within the 2 bars.
Level One: My future development plan begins with completing my current course Level 3 Cambridge Technical Extended Diploma in Performing Arts with a grade D*D*D*. I will continue to participate in performance events both inside and outside of my Cambridge Technical course to enhance and develop my physical skills, versatility, and confidence. I will complete work experience this summer in the Edinburgh Fringe with Captivate Theatre to gain experience and knowledge about working in the industry, alongside taking part in Captivate Theatre’s summer school each July to prepare myself for the intensive and full-on nature of the performance industry, as well as to establish a good network of connections in the industry and meet like-minded people. I will continue attending WEMT school in London every Sunday and partake in singing, acting, ballet, contemporary, and jazz classes as well as beginning the tap classes to allow me to increase my versatility as a dancer. I will keep up to da
Swinging Sequence This exercise develops balance, strength and coordination. Our arms and legs must work in a cohesive way, while maintaining a controlled balance and support our bodies using strength in our legs, arms and core. I think I was successful at allowing the arms and legs to coordinate nicely and therefore maintaining a smooth swinging motion using momentum. To improve, I’d like to use gravity to fuel my movements even more and fully give in to its force, as using and giving in to gravity is a key element of contemporary dance. I’d also like to experiment more with supporting my body with my arms and becoming more confident in my arm strength. This sequence develops many contemporary skills, such as floor work, giving in to gravity, and the transferring of weight.
