Practice, Practice And More Practice

Today we started off the by having to change into our PE gear, because we would be doing some dancing and it would be easier to move around. We started with our warm ups, including an 8 count warm up, some vocal warm ups and more. On Thursday we were given our roles, I am Simba's understudy and I am also Ed (The Dumb Hyena) I share this role with another person so we both say those lines, we also got to sing the first three songs from Lion King Circle Of Life, I Just Can't Wait To Be King and Hakuna Matata,
we also got to read through the script as our roles. We have been looking at make up looks for our certain characters, I haven't been able to find a make up look I like, but, I'm sure I will find one eventually.

Hakuna Matata, What Wonderful Phrase!!

Today we learnt a small portion of dance from Hakuna Matata and we had a read of the script, some people took the part of certain characters, although, the teachers said that this didn't mean we immediately got that role and we were just taking this role temporarily. Learning the dance was really fun, for the dance we went in a pair with another person, my partner and I were asked to perform for a video with another pair, so people could learn the dance at home.

French Arts

The French have many wonderful inclusions with their music and dance, it being so romanticised with all sorts of folk-like song and dances too. There are many types of songs with revolutionary tunes and rhythms including songs like Dernière Danse and Le Sens de la Vie yet there are so many traditional songs that are just as lovable like Musette and Bransle.
  

Le Sens de la Vie

Dernière Danse

Festival Of Fun

Today I learnt a little of the Afrikaans 
pronunciation from Circle Of Life myself and we also learnt some new vocal warm ups. We also got to spend some short time with a tutor with two others to audition to have a solo in the musical. In the end I would like to either be Simba or Ed, but, i'd really be happy with any role I get.

Musical Theater - Festival Of The Arts

This year for Festival Of The Arts I have been chosen for Musical Theatre, much like last year, except this year instead of Annie we will be doing The Lion King Musical. This year over 30 people have been chosen for musical theatre.

Today we did some warm ups and games to work on our acting, vocals and dancing. Including games like tequila, and activities like doing a short part of one of the songs. 

I know much like last year that the choreography will be a challenge, 

and there will be a lot of opportunities for everyone. 

My Painting

This is the painting I made in art class.

When I started drawing I didn't think about what I was doing and just drew, so I didn't really have a character it's just a random painting.

I chose the colours because I believe they all work well together.

"65 years, it been quite a while hasn’t it" Tracy's voice was the only thing I could hear. “Where exactly did we land?” “Tracy, what is that? Tracy I told you not to eat food we can’t identify as clean.” “IT’S FOOD, I’M HUN-” “CLOse your mouth.” I look around at the swamp around me, raised sea levels, intense heat, looks like climate change got the best of the place. I look to see the remains of a statue, I creep towards the remains of a multicoloured giraffe. “I know where we are.” Good job New Zealand, you’ve done well.

This was a day to remember, I was walking down the street, IN PURE DAYLIGHT, when all of a sudden these random people come out OF THIN AIR. I pretended not to notice as they started looking around, as if they lost something. That was when a glint caught my eye. I picked the item up when the people from before saw the object they came towards me, I handed it to them and like it was simple as moving a finger they vanished, I decided not to talk about it, thinking I might go crazy questioning it.

I listened, I was to stay in my room like always, it was a specialty, my cushion was becoming uncomfortable and the people playing the violin in the room next to me were almost as annoying as that one sibling who always took your things. I sighed and stood up and walked from my scarlet room to my balcony, humming a soft tune as I watered my pride and joy plant, I smiled knowing it would one day outgrow the current pot it was being held in. I sighed and fell asleep at the balcony, looking at the golden sunset.

“Sis, this isn’t normal. We have to report this to the police!”

“They’ll hear us over the phone think we’re crazy.”

“I know, maybe, we could show it to someone else, and get them to report it!”

“What and ruin their lives too?”

I couldn’t stand them, my siblings were crazy and I hated it.

I needed to leave.

The windows wide open.

“Connie what, don’t you dare.”

I felt the grass underneath my feet as I ran, straight into something cold, I fall back onto the ground and look up towards the creatures face, with fangs dripping with red.

Dragons, they were common of the Isle of Mófǎ, it was extremely uncommon to find them outside of this natural paradise, it was composed of many islands but some dragons lived in different places. Some dragons swam through Glistening Waters, some slept in the Fluffy Clouds, some lived in the Black Caves littering the islands, some lived in the Volcano's placed around the Land Of Fire, some lived in the Lightning Struck land, others lived in Natures Forest living among the trees, and lastly others lived in the Plains Of Drought, a dry land with nothing but dirt and mountains.
