Overall, for me. I think the show went really well. To begin with, I wasn't nervous at all so my nerves didn't negatively effect me. I think I gave everything, and danced to the best of my abilities. Considering we learned two new sections the day of the show I am very pleased with the fact that I didn't forget them. A few thing a did go wrong as a company for the inters, and some individuals did make mistakes. However, for myself it went really well. To begin with, for me faded went really well. I think I performed it and had the most energy I ever have whilst performing that number. The only problem for me was some of the spacing but it wasn't half as bad as it usually is so this shows we are improving and getting used to the spacing in the theatre. I still seemed to be a tiny bit off centre in some sections, which was hardly noticeable. The beginning seemed to be in time like usual, and I didn't hit Maisie by accident when I usually would. Also, from what I saw Jonah's solo received a really positive reaction and people cheered when he did his unique dance moves. Unfortunately, Levi's nerves really effective him negatively and he was too unstable to hold Emily during the lift in faded causing him to fall over, instead of making it obvious they quickly got up and ran off stage like professionals ready for the next section. He took his initiative to not do the next lift with Paige incase it jeopardised her safety and she didn't stop running to make it look like nothing was wrong. I feel this will make it a whole lot less obvious that it had gone wrong and was a very professional thing to do. As well as this, during the beginning section a peer accidentally turned on all of the lights including the audience; this then meant we had to carry on dancing like professionals acting like it didn't happen so it wasn't too obvious it was a mistake. It not lasted 3 seconds because it quickly got resolved. Despite me thinking I did really well others felt certain sections were really bad and off time. Because I'm in front I can't see the timing behind me so I was unaware of this. I feel to make this better people need to look at the peers in front to get the timing correct because I know the counts of this piece. Instead of everyone being off time, if they took notice of others it would look more on time. Another thing that didn't go according to plan was the lighting towards the end. Jonah and Levi stayed in the spotlight for longer than expected and instead of being professional and staying quiet for he tech people to fix Levi said something. Luckily, no body herd. For the rest of the routine I stayed mostly on centre and finished all of my movements and performed them well. The only problem I have is trying not too laugh when I can see audiences faces in front of me, when this happened I seemed to loose focus. Considering my trio kept on going wrong before hand, luckily for the show it went extremely well, we was all in time everybody held in their core and performed. For the next show we all need to improve out timing as a group in a few sections to make the choreography look more effective. Greyhound was another number that went extremely well. However had some technical issues. To begin with considering we usually find it hard to get into our positions in black out we did it quite well and when the lights slowly came on nobody was in the wrong position. I think our energy was at the best it has ever been and each of us fully committed to the piece. Considering in rehearsal Jonah kept on getting the canon section wrong, he finally got it right for the first time which shows he really tried hard to get it correct and not let anybody down. The transition between the two V's went well and we was all on time for once. During the build up before the chorus section we all attacked the simple movements to make them look strong. Unfortunately the canon lighting was quite late and came on at the wrong time, despite this no one got distracted and carried on like usual. Putting into consideration 6 of us had learned a completely new section in the dance, none f us got it wrong and remembered the counts correctly which is quite an achievement. For the trio section with Millie and Ella which is also new we got all of it correct and really attacked it. Even though Ella got one movement wrong she quickly corrected herself and carried on instead of making it obvious. Jonah decided to add his own leap on a certain section was quite inappropriate because it wasn't technically correct or in the original number which he shouldn't of done, so for the next show he needs to stick to the choreography and not personalise it. Lastly, for the freestyle section which most of is loathe, we all individually did our own thing whilst interacting with everyone. The energy was at the best it has ever been and we all moved close to the front to make the audience feel part of it. It made me happy to see everyone really going for it making the end section definitely the strongest. I feel the end section was the one I went for the most and think is the most effective out of them all. Even our director told us it was the best performance we had ever done, so we should all be proud. To improve, we need to sort out the lighting to make sure the queues are correct and go over our new sections to make sure no don't forgets them this time.
