Music: Favourite Things - Incubus.
Woah, its been quite a while since I last posted. And I noticed that Maddi told me to write a blog that was better than the last one where I was stressed and everything. But we are getting better 
so onto ensemble stuff…
Well creative arts the other night I spoke to Cashy and he told me that our group just had to stop thinking about it so much. Which was true. So on Thursday we started to just not think that much about the actual ways and script writing of ensemble and we came up with some good opening scenes which we will continue to work on and improve a lot of.
It begins with focuses on TV and the technology and then flashes back to the 1900s, and still goes through the decades and everything like that which is what was our original idea.
We also found that it is a lot easier to work from the beginning to the end of an ensemble rather that backwards where we got stuck on some things because we were working backwards.
The 1900s scene is on the automobile and the first one made or close to first made called the Model T by Henry Ford. It then goes onto a scene where we talk about Titanic and have newspaper advertisments. We are yet to work on the rest and Maddi, Jess and I miss tomorrow’s class as we are in fact on an excursion but we are making up for it on Wed afternoon by having an afterschool rehearsal where hopefully we will work our bums off.
We also need to start looking at the stagecraft elements, dramatic elements and expressive skills and incorporating them into what we are doing so that we don’t leave all that type of thing until the end and then start stressing about it.

Just like to say a massive congratulations to the girls who did creative arts and especially to the ensemble group who performed and did an excellent job and highly entertained the audience and to Jess for her fabulous MCing and Jac for her beautiful singing of Sometimes and Jess and Jac for Cause of Distraction. Brilliant performance guys!!
Cheers,

AAWW cheers hettie, I’m glad you weren’t embarassed to be my friend. lol And I’m glad you guys have got things up and running, I told you you’d be alright.
And rememeber, if you guys are ever stuck and need an outsider to give you some insight, I’m always there. Coz i know that sometimes we can get so caught up in our own ideas that all we need is someone to give a different perspective and help us out. So use me!!!! (in the nicest possible context)
