In our dance lesson we watched both our 'Rent' and 'La Vie Boheme' performances we had filmed, so we could analyse ourselves and the dances as a whole to pinpoint areas we needed to work on as individuals and as a group. In this we would consider elements such as our technical accuracy, rhythmic control, spatial control, dynamics, relationships, projection and interpretation

Rent (opening scene)

What went well:

• The sequence of our movements particularly the duets section went in the right order, in which the timing was also really good.
• We used a large amount of the space, especially in the last section where everyone joins on stage. We made sure we were crossing through each other as well as spreading around the whole space.
• Good relationships between each other, whether it's in the duos or just coming in contact with other passing characters, As the song involves us all coming together and uniting as a community who refuse to pay up, behaviour such as eye contact with each other when singing shows this

What to improve on:

• Energy is something we all need to work on increasing to further display our anger and frustration which supports the topic
• Our movements could also be performed larger for reasons stated above
• Our dynamics could be stronger, for example when running around we could be more low and rougher to reinforce the mayhem

La Vie Boheme

What went well:

• Our timing was very good throughout this performance
• Me and Kim's duet is strong in terms of dynamics, actions and relationship
• In this song, the high energy is maintained throughout. Our good bouncy dynamics supported the upbeat melody and joyful fun-loving atmosphere

What to improve on:

• Our transitions could be smoother, especially when returning to the seats.
