Week one :
Monday 14th October :
Monday morning at 9:30am we had a acting technique lesson with Steph about improvisation. Improvisation is the art of performing without a script and this allows directors to improve on their dialogue. Then at 10:45am we had a break and came back for our lesson at 11am. In this lesson we did loads of games based on improvisation so we can improve when we are on the spot to improvise we can not be scared to do it. Then we had lunch from 12:30pm till 1:30pm. After lunch we played a improv game called “scenario from the hat” this game is where loads of scenarios are being put into the hat and two people are on the right side and two people are on the left side, when someone in the audience says the scenario and you have to make it up on the spot. Then at 2:45pm we had a break. Our police museum tour is next Saturday so we had to create our script for our show. This lasted till 4:30pm.
Wednesday 16th October :
Wednesday morning at 9:30am, we had theory work with Jess. I started on the police museum research and reflections. This was helpful because I was new to the course and asked my friends on what I need to research for the police museum. Then we had independent study work where I did my digital space at 11am. Then we had lunch from 12:30pm till 1:30pm. After lunch we then had Ambition hub with Jess, but for the first thirty we had a talk with “The Leap”. After the talk we started finishing on our dance “Somewhere over the rainbow” for our performance in the light cinema for the 29th October. This performance is for people with disabilities. This then lasted till 3pm and we got to go home.
Thursday 17th October :
Thursday morning I had a tutorial lesson with Steph at 9:30am, when we had a 1 to 1 meeting about our career, attendance and the rest of our year. Then we had a bit of free time because all of level 2 and 3 but also us is well had our 1 to 1 singing lesson to get feedback to have a better chance of improving our singing. After lunch we had dance but Jess was not there as she was ill so we had Emma instead. For the first half we did a technique lesson but we first did a warm up and stretch then corner work to get prepared for our work for when we split in half and do group work. Then we had a 15 minute break. After break we created a dance of from waking up from bed to going back to sleep. We finished at 4:30pm.

Week 2 :
Monday 21st October :
Monday morning at 9:30am we had to get straight on to our police museum script because it is on the 24th of October. I was put as a prosecution as a part of the court. We had a read through over and over so then we can know what to do when it comes to blocking. Then we had a break at 10:45am and came back at 11:10am. Once we came back after break, we got to do the script with the acting involved instead of just reading it through, and we had props to help us on what it is going to be like in the court room. We did this around ten times because it is 5 minute long script. We then had lunch at 12:30pm and came back at 1:30pm. After lunch we did a lot of games about improvisation through the whole afternoon and then had a break at 2:30pm. And came back at 2:45pm. When we came back we carried on with games for the rest of the afternoon and finished at 4:30pm.
Wednesday 23rd October :
Wednesday at 9:30am we had a theory lesson with Jess to do a catch up on our course work. This was helpful for me so I could ask my friends what to do as it is only my second week in level 3 extended. Then we had independent study time from 11am till 12:30pm, in this time I did some of my course work and learned more of the ambition hub dance before our lesson. We then had lunch at 12:30pm till 1 :30pm. But we got told that ambition hub was cancelled so we had time to practice anything until 3pm then we went home.
Thursday 24th October :
Thursday 9:30am we had a tutorial lesson with Steph witch we just did our course work for most of this so we can have more work done as it is the last day. Then we had a singing lesson with Eric from 11am till 12:30pm where we got booklets of our backstage romance from moulin rouge but I know the song so I do not need to have a booklet but then we also had a recap of journey to the past. Then we had lunch from 12:30pm till 1:30pm. After this we had our ambition hub lesson from 1:30pm till 3pm, the reason why we had ambition hub today is because it was cancelled on Wednesday so we can have extra time to practice for our performance on Tuesday for the light cinema for people with dementia and disabilities before they watch the film. After ambition hub we had a break from 3pm till 3:15pm. Then we had dance with Jess where we finished off some of the crucible dance but then we also did a dance technique lesson and some corner work before the crucible dance. We then got to go home at 4:30pm.
