So, in order to help me decide what challenge I would like to do I have made two lists... one on my strengths and one on the skills I would like to develop! :)
Strengths
- Hula hooping
- Drama
- Dancing
- Stilt - walking
- Poi
- Whip
- Performing
- Gymnastics
- Physical strength
- Aerial skills
- Balance
- Art - drawing/painting
- Creativity
- Good communicator
Skills that I want to develop
- Slack - rope
- Singing
- Choreography
- Aerial
- Flexibility
- Art - skills
After looking at my strengths and the skills I would like to develop I have decided that for my arts challenge I want to create a slack - rope piece to perform.... I have decided this as it works with my strengths, which are performance, balance, slack - rope, dancing, and creativity. I would also like to perhaps create a few small bits of set.. which will assist me with developing my art skills. I feel that my choreography skills will greatly increase due to this project also. I spoke to my arts award advisor to see what she thought about it, here is the conversation below:
(me) Do you think the slackrope idea would be ok?
(janet) yes I'll talk to the others about it on wed night when we have a committee meeitng
(me) ok, what sort of things do you need to discuss?
(janet) whether someone could come in and do slackrope training,,
(me) ahhh... I see, that would be good, although if that isn't possible i could perhaps just work alone for a while? I could perhaps work some dance on the floor into it all?
(janet) mm that sounds creative
(me) I know Helena and sally *( friends from 101 performing arts group that have an MA in dance and a degree in circus ) are good at that kind of thing... maybe I could ask them for help?
(janet) yes another good idea..
(me) that's good
could I add this conversation in to my blog?
(janet) YES!
For my arts challenge I may need to have a couple of lessons, however I have learnt lots already from Brian, (a volunteer at the 101 performaing arts group I attend) and have been able to transfer some of my gymnastics skills from the beam, so since I am focusing more on the dance and performance elements I could possibly just get help from some friends who are excellent at dance and choreography. I will need access to a slack - rope, the one I use at the moment belongs to Brian, so I will need to discuss with him when I will be able to use it before I make my plan. I will be working towards my challenge at the mission hut, where I usually train.
