In Fridays work shop planning lesson we all got into pairs, were allocated a certain couple of lines in the song and had to add simple yet effective memorable actions to accompany the words. Having Kirsty - the musical theatre singing genius - she focused on the singing whilst we thought of effective actions. I thought this was really fun and it was interesting when we went around the group and had to learn the other lines. We decided we were going to scurry off into little groups and teach the song that way, however that did not happen....
Andrea decided we may as well stay in the large group and the pairs should just teach the group as a whole. When it came to my section of the song... PANIC... Kirsty wasn't in! So I had to single handedly sing and teach the actions to everyone, which I was initially nervous about. I got on with it anyway and although I am so completely tone deaf, I belted the song out anyway because I knew if I wanted the Valence students to be loud and enthusiastic then I had to be too. I performed the actions slowly and clearly, getting around to everyone in the circle so everyone could see. It went well.
Today taught me to think on my feet - it wasn't until it was my time to teach my section of the song that I realised my partner was not in! I had to adapt myself to the current situation and just be confidence and bold with it.
We then went over the movement sequence and the scenes in the cars so it stayed refreshed and remembered in all of our minds.
