Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can reflect on my performance and identify what has been successful.
Key learning points
- Rehearsal requires patience, creativity and repetition.
- We use our bodies and the space in different ways, and with different energy, depending on the feel of the song.
- Warming up our bodies and voices can boost our performance because we’re focused and physically prepared to perform.
- If we are focused and enjoying our performance, it helps an audience feel relaxed watching it.
- Receiving feedback can help us see what we’re doing well and where we can make improvements to our performance.
Keywords
Rehearsal - a practice session in which a performance is prepared
Performance - a work that is presented to an audience
Staging - making decisions about creating a performance of our version of a story
Common misconception
Once the performance is done, our learning is done too.
Watching a performance back and/or getting feedback from an audience/ director/teacher is hugely valuable in cementing our learning. We can see and hear how we used our voices and bodies to tell a story and how we applied the techniques we learnt.
Teacher tip
You might use this session as a final rehearsal before sharing the performance at a different time. The value in this lesson lies in being able to reflect on what skills and techniques have been used to storytell. These include changing dynamics, vocal timbre, physical performance and ensemble work.
