This was my first lesson for Musical Theatre which consisted of dance and movement. The first half of the lesson consisted of devising and running a dance. The piece in itself is inspired around the idea of aboriginal gangs in conflict with one another which is reflected in the movement. An example of this is during one part we used a slitting the throat motion towards the other gang as a sine of aggression and violence. Another example is when we all crowded around a single member and continued by throwing clenched fists towards them in a punchy motion. All of these various types of movement combined, created a sense of aggression, anger and violence towards one another.
As a student I felt that I contributed towards the dance by devising a small segment with another student in solo part in the middle of the dance. One way which devised piece in my opinion could have been improved by making the movements more varied and not as reparative.

The second half of the lesson consisted of us learning more choreography the college performance of The Rock Classic performed by Queen that is WE WILL ROCK YOU!!! The song which we were performing to was One Vision by Queen. I contributed to this lesson by becoming part of the ensemble and bringing a fresh mind set with plenty of energy and enthusiasm. Some of the challenges which I came across during the rehearsals was things like time keeping and initial choreography. However as the lesson progressed I became more comfortable within the movements and began to enjoy myself more which was reflected in my performance.
