In todays lesson we were introduced to the idea of Variety and what it meant. For example, Variety means different/not the same. Therefore in our variety show, there will be multiple acts of different forms. For example, singers, dancers, actors etc.
My initial thoughts were to do a solo performance of singing with a guitar. After consideration I then decided I wanted to challenge myself and try something different. Something like a comedy act. I discussed this with my friend Megan and we both decided we also wanted to do something fun and entertaining, such as comedy. We thought about this but thought it was hard to come up with funny original material in such a short space of time.
We then conversed with our other friend Vicki and decided we should all work together and do something as a group. We unanimously decided we would sing as it was something we all felt
comfortable with and felt as though we could perform well.
I suggested we do something along the lines of a Capella as its very unique and engaging for audience members to listen to and watch. For example, watching people create an entire vocal performance which includes a percussive element/line is intriguing as we wouldn't associate the voice with this/we wouldn't think the voice would be capable of doing this. We decided from this that instead of doing one song we would do a mashup of some songs from the 2000's. As we all felt a strong connection with this era and the music that was created. We listened to multiple playlists of YouTube and found songs that we all knew well and that we thought would sound nice in a mashup together. Therefore, after this we decided we would go away and see whether we could either find more songs to add or start on constructing a way in which we could fit them all together.
