What have I learnt?
I've learnt the different types of jobs in a musical theatre. (The jobs that happen behind the scenes)
How does this work show my learning?
We made backgrounds to show that we learnt something about a being in a musical theatre. We also used these backgrounds for our performance.
What did I find challenging?
I found performing on the stage very challenging. I'm not really a big fan of performing in front of many people.
What did I enjoy?
I enjoyed learning a new song from a movie.
What am I wondering?
I'm wondering if our performance would be better if we added movements.
What will I do next time?
Next time I would want us to dance a little bit instead of just standing there.
What was it like performing on the day? I didn't want to go up on stage due to my stage frights, but the show had to go on so I gathered all of my courage and went up on stage.
The voices we do not hear are the children's voices. If the children were allowed to speak then maybe we could get another perspective about Gloriavale, because at the moment it's only the adults that are telling us their point of views. Maybe the children have different thoughts about their life. We're also not hearing the voices of those who do/did not enjoy their life in Gloriavale.
Task 1: Group Song: 'You're Welcome' from Moana. What is the song about?
The song is about Mau's accomplishments as 'the hero of men'. What is difficult about singing this song?
The difficult part about singing this song is the rap. You have to say the words clearly and loud, and you also have to sound enthusiastic.
How are you feeling about your performance?
I'm feeling a little nervous about our performance. Performing in front of a lot of audiences is pretty nerve-wracking, especially if you're singing a song and you're in the front line.
