Auckland Live

Yesterday (14 June) Rooms 3, 1, 2 and 5 went to Auckland Live held at the Auckland Town Hall.
We were split into 2 groups, Years 5-8 and Years 2-4 were in a group with Hillsborough Primary School. The year 5-8 group was Group 1 and the year 2-4 group were group 2.

I was in group 1 and we started at the Interactive Dance Program. When we got there we were split again into 2 groups. My group had to copy the moves on the screen and if you stepped forward the dance on the screen moved faster. When we swapped we learnt about dancing about preparing for something. We were then split into 4 groups to show preparing. My group was cooking and we made dance moves for

  • Washing your hands
  • Putting your apron on
  • Tying your apron
  • Cutting the food
  • Getting a pot
  • Turning the gas on on the stove top
  • Sliding the vegetables into the pan
  • Sprinkling
  • Squeezing
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Stirring
  • Plating
  • Cutlery
  • Pouring Drinks
  • Serving
We then showed the rest of the group and played bang while we waited for the other group to finish doing the interactive dance. 

We then went back to the concert chambers to have morning tea and we then went to our next activities.

For group 1's next activity we didn't go anywhere because our next activity was a performance and workshop with Java Dance Company. They first performed and then we did a workshop with the dancers. They make there own music and dance to it as well.
I really enjoyed this because they interacted with the audience and it makes you feel like you should be there.

We then had lunch and moved to our final activity for the day.
Our Final activity was watching a snippet from the production that Te Rehia Theater is doing on their tour of New Zealand. We then learnt some vocal warm ups and played some concentration games. 

I really enjoyed the day we had in Auckland because it was different and it is usually very similar activities.
