Arts Award 15/9/15: Student Planned Lesson 1.

This week at Truth Dance Company I attended the first in a series of student planned and led lessons. This first session was led by Emily. While this ran like any other lesson, I know this is important in the process to gain the arts award. In the lesson we did the usual warmup and monologue practice.

The reasons I am practicing the monologue are these:

• Jackie wants us to get back into the habit of learning them.
• I will use it in an upcoming drama competition.

Also I returned to the Burnley Youth Theatre classes on Thursday after the summer break.

3/9/15 Truth Dance

Since I last made a post there have been two Truth Dance meetings. In the first I practiced such things as:

• Improvisation.
• Memory.
• Breathing exercises.

In the interlude between the first and second meetings I have made a potential plan of having group poetry as the subject of my lesson.

In the second meeting we practiced the following subjects:

• Stage direction.
• Monologue. (I know it almost completely off by heart now.)

Next week I hope to get Jackie's opinion on my lesson idea.
