The Methods To Performance Project: An Introduction

The first session of this new module was definitely adrenaline-charged, and really threw everyone in without holding back. First impressions were securely concluded around the idea that this module was not going to be motionless, in fact as soon as we walked into the room we were kept on our feet – this was a good way of energising the whole class for the rest of the session, perhaps for the rest of the day in effect. We began the session by energising our whole bodies, vocals included. This was an important warmer and introducer to what we were going to be doing throughout the rest of the module. We perhaps spent a good half an hour running around the room to warm ourselves up, then after moved to the floor to copy and execute sounds and actions that Anna was providing (I suppose this was to introduce a task that we would follow up in the next couple of weeks). I really enjoyed and appreciated the way that the group were enforced to collaborate together efficiently straight away – I feel we work well as a group anyway, however this encouraged a better grounding for the team as we moved together and involved ourselves with each other around the room. Overall, a very good impression and introduction to the module – the energy was kept positively high throughout the session.
