27th February 2015 Beginning of Cats Dance.

In this lesson we began with going through our improvment phrases, this was the first week where we did them. My main focus is still flexability and making it better in-order to improve my co-odernation and strength. 

For the main focus of the lesson we started our section in the year 13's musical 'Cats', we are doing the song The battle of the peles and the pollicles. In the orginal show we would be playing the part of the dogs, but in this version we are playing the 'Photographers and Journalists' Im playing a journalist, we were taught a short phrase that fit to the start of the music, this incorporated lots of levels, kicks, exstention and roles. We were then given the task in our two groups to play around we the phrase and change and add bits, using the focus of repitition, retrograde and canon. I had an intatal idea the we added in some canon, in the section we were step forward and reach up with our note books, i suggested that we added ome canon, in a random order, I thought that this looked like we were all rushing in for the best story and really told the story of all of the reporters wanting the best story. Once we had started to come up with some inital idea for the phrase, we had to come up with some two beat tabloos, we still stuck to the theme of each of us wanted to get the first story, we entered the stage using our tabloos, we started to play around with some people rolling in, some running in and some people jumping over others. As we did not have a full group we could not yet try out some lifts, but we had some ideas with them, of a scrum of some people jumping over each other. With what we had already tried our and the lifts, it will have lots of levels, and people coming in from different entrances, i think it will look quite effective, especially if we stick to the past pace moves.
