People want to see the show and think, What an amazing performer, not she has a lovely quality!
I can do this, but Roberts right, it's all about dynamic range!

This, to the best of my ability, is my journal of consequence for my Into the New performance project. A collection of thoughts, ideas, reminders and links to inspiration, it should be a daily chart of some element of my process to performance in March

When the adjudicator of the YouthWorks brass tournament made his comments, he mentioned that professional musicians are able to achieve the largest dynamic range. Its my observation that this is the case in all professional performers, at this stage of graduating into a professional context I should be able to utilise the greatest spectrum of extremes and know when it is appropriate to pare down or beef up elements of the performance.
However, this is a skill to built upon, with practise, just as musicians practise sustaining notes and their volume, pitch and tenure, we as live performers have to practise.
A lot of what I was coached to create in Tarantula! was helpful in both my understanding of building up a dynamic range and my physical performance skills.
Previously I have thought that I could create a wide variance of prescence onstage but I have been continuously coached to create difference, make distinctions bigger and structure the piece with more highs and lows.
It doesn't follow that I could do this kind of dynamic shift before I came to the Academy,even though I remember utilising opposites in performance. This level of professional dynamics has been learned and I hope to improve my ability to shift more smoothly between big and small, loud and soft, calm and hysterical as well as pushing those dynamics further.
