In this lesson Sam wanted to start working on Act 3 with us as it is the most important act, because this is when there is the most movement and we start to perform the 'circus act'. She first worked with the clowns and in the mean time, whoever wasnt a clown worked on their blog or helped eachother learning their lines. Then about half-way through the lesson she worked with the 'animals'(that is everyone apart from the clowns and Ben and Amy, as they play the people who run the circus). Sam asked to get into pairs and make up 8 counts, that related to whatever animal we were. I was with Emily and we both decided we were monkeys. After looking at the videos from DV8 a couple of weeks ago in Sam's lesson and in independant study, it was quite easy to think of 8 counts. As we are monkeys we came with ideas of what monkeys do when they move; swinging, walk low, arms are hang down. So our first 4 counts was of our arms in a swinging motion. Then Emily rolled on the ground and jumped back up again. So I thought of the idea of turning around in a low postion and staying like that and snuffle next to her and keep moving like a monkey would. Sam helped us to create the bit after our bits in pairs.
