Task 1-peer and self assessment of performance of six

Peer and self assessment 

All of this feedback given is based on the dance “all you wanna do” which is sung by the queen Katherine Howard and is in the dance style jazz commercial. this dance is a very sensual and fluent dance that is supposed to portray the queens personality and how she is very mischievous and sexy.
Within this dance we use a lot of Bob fosses moves in order to portray this for example we use splayed hands, small eyes, raised eyebrows and much more to portray that character throughout.

Below you will see a photo of both my personal feedback sheet and my peer feedback sheet which was completed by my peer Robyn cable who I had told to be completely honest on how she feels  purely so that I can know what to improve on in the future.


Photo of personal feedback-


After watching videos back from the performance of six the musical I was able to evaluate and give myself feedback based on the performance. I feel that after being given the feedback I  can see I was  consistently accurate within all of the numbers after rewatching back video I also feel I could have improved on my sense of character a lot more even though I was able to portray my character I feel I could have over exaggerated a little more on those sensual Bob fosse movement to help give a better understanding of the song and storyline in its self.  For my qualities within the performance I put a tick next to accurate for most of the dance, this is because although I was accurate for most of the performance on my musicality and rhythm I could also improve on making this a lot more stronger, for example I could have been a lot more powerful with my movement and gone a lot more fill out in some of the sections. for the context and interpretation section I ticked the box for consistently effective as even though this could be improved I feel I was still  able to 
 Communicate the meaning of dance in performance.


Photo of my peer assessment- 



My peer feedback sheet was filled in by Robyn cable.From this peer assessment, I can conclude that my performance was strong and consistent throughout the whole performance. It is clear that my peer can note that my technique was also very accurate and consistent, the same with my characterization and use of expressions. From this and comments from other peers, I can confidently say my facial expressions and projection of character has greatly improved from our first rehearsals of this show. I now need to develop them further to match every genre. I felt I excelled in the sassy and dramatic dances; however, I need to work on my facial expressions in emotional and melonic songs such as 'Heart of Stone'. I need to be able to sing and show the emotion and sadness that the song is portraying to make sure I am consistently projecting the meaning of the song. I will do this by practicing future songs  in front of a mirror and focusing on my facial expressions and not so much the movement so that I can see how I am portraying character and communicating the choreographer's intent through my expressions and faces.

                                     Skills audit Whilst being apart of the CTEC performing arts class at Suffolk One, we have been able to study and explore an array of contrasting dance styles and different units, So far we have been graded on contemporary, jazz and kathak dance styles. We have also done loads of workshops based of different choreographers like Martha Graham’s and pins Bausch. This allowed me to gain an understanding of what dance styles I excel in and what dance styles I would personally like to improve on, for me person I feel that contemporary dance is the style I’ve most enjoyed and felt I did the best in. This is one reason I have chosen contemporary dance as my chosen style to show my improvement. Whilst growing up  , I attended lyrical/ballet classes and a theatre group called theatre train , being able to be apart of these groups was an amazing opportunity as it helped to widening my performance skills and develop my skills even further and gain that confiden

future development plan

honey Wilson                                                      performing arts unit 14- future development plan  task one: progression The first skill that I feel I have improved on is my balance,  I realised these when at the beginning of the performance arts course during our first dance unit, unit 13 I personally struggled with a lot  of the more technical movements and turns as I was a-bit wobbly to begin with. For a while I was really struggling to believe in myself as I felt that everyone was so much better than me and I was always the one struggling , I was worried that I would not be able to succeed in doing simple and get the grades that I wanted.  Over my year and a half at Suffolk One, I have been determined to work in my balance by doing exercises within college and my own time that specifically help with balance, in lesson I worked on my core strength (the Martha Graham technique help me with this a lot) and focus to really help myself improve on my balance.
