Lecturer: Gillian Hipp and Gavin Maxwell
I came into today's lesson feeling upbeat, positive and ready to work hard. Gillian told me we would be starting with a belly dancing warm-up and I was excited at the prospect of doing the only dance I was good at again.
But then, when we starting working on moving together as a group at exactly the same time, without an obvious leader, the entire attitude of the group changed.
I was really enjoying myself and focusing really well, but some people objected strongly to the task and expressed it vocally, saying it was a waist of time and we should be doing something else.
I strongly disagreed with this, as I knew that this close to the show, we wouldn't randomly be told to do something that wasn't crucial to the show, and I was very embarrassed about what was being said to Gillian.
Even when this task ended and we ran through Alibaba, there was still an extremely negative atmosphere in the room, which I hated.
I think my strength in this lesson was my trust and respect for the lecturers/directors and being able to perform the exercises appropriately.
I think I could improve on moving as a group.
