Disaster

Performed the pantomime piece today that I mentioned in the last blog. Well let me just say, it definitely did not play out like I expected. It's really my fault in that I didn't put as much practice into the assignment that it deserved. I was just so relieved to find good music that I just though the pantomime would fall into place. In the end, I didn't practice as much as I should have and consequently my pantomime wasn't completely uncoordinated with the music. I even had to start over twice! It was quite embarrassing, especially because I knew I could have done a lot better. But I guess that's what these kinds of experiences are for, to learn. Never will I underestimate an assignment like this again.

Afterwards, we began to look back at the different assignments that IB entails for our "tests". Focused mainly on the Practice Performance Proposal, mainly the pitch again. Our teacher decided to provide us with her own stimulus, a tango by Yo Yo Ma. The class then broke off into two groups to being working on the 250 word pitch. Will continue tomorrow.
