By the end of Term 1, Our class and Ms Whelan’s class decided to have a Fringe Festival, where everyone got into groups and had to come up with ideas for a performance they could do. In my group there was Ansia, Emily, Nisha, myself and Leonora, who sadly couldn’t make it on the day.
Our first idea was to do a Carpool Karaoke, but one day when we had to present in front of everyone, Leonora, Anisa and myself came up with a very risky idea, because Emily and Nisha were away we changed it to a dance. A Just Dance inspired dance routine. A big challenge that happened that night was we had a problem choosing the dance and song. After 3 hours, we finally chose the song- Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeild, and practised the dance so much, so we could remember every bit. We came up with a lot of our own moves because we wanted to make it ours.
We wanted to have blocks so we could be above everyone when we did our performance, and we also had set spots so that the audience would see all of us.
On June 10th we had Performance Day, “Yay!!”, a big problem that happened was I forgot my black t shirt, and my mum was a life saver, she had to pay $25, to get a taxi to come and bring it for the day. Our first performance was in the Hall, at 11:55, 7 people had booked to come and watch and we also had Ms Murphy’s class as well. All during it I was anxious and excited. With the second one at 2:15 we had Mrs Langton’s and half of the 5/6 class come to our performance. It was great fun except for the technical difficulties with the music.
We all had a great time with the workshop. Everyone wanted to learn more. It took them a long time to process every step, and when we finished early we asked everyone for feedback, and all of it was good, most of them said they loved every bit. After that Emily started playing the song Uptown Funk, and we all just did random dancing, when they were leaving we all got high fives, and we were more excited for the next one.
