Over the past few months before our show, we had a number of rehearsals that we worked extremely hard within. During these rehearsals, I worked on my performance quality as well as my technique and quality of movement. I did this by trying to get into my character in further depth and by also going through the movement slowly; step by step. This helped me a lot because it enabled me to correctly perform the movement and motifs to the best of my ability.
Another way that helped me to improve my performance quality was by trying to think about what it would be like to be in an area of conflict as well as being in the situation of having to flee from my home and to be separated from my family. This helped me in everything that I did or had to do. This was due to the fact that it allowed me to express my emotions through the dances in a clearer way. This also then allowed the audience to connect with the message of the different pieces and to feel what I was feeling as I was performing.
Connecting with the audience was a big part of rehearsing as well as developing my performance skills. This is due to the fact that when you connect to the audience, you convey a message and try to make them feel what you are feeling yourself when performing. This can be a hard thing to achieve whilst performing on a stage as you are so concentrated in either trying to get the movement correct or thinking about what you are doing and the way that you are doing it. By connecting with the audience, you can also convey a certain message in a specific way. Conveying a message will allow the audience to understand the theme of the show better and also the reason behind your chosen dance pieces.
