In Class:
Goals: I hoped to have get a rough idea of how the performance would look, the playlist and what would come when.
I spent a few minutes e-mailing my cast to tell them the rehearsal schedule for next week, most of them got back to me within the day, and it seems that we will only be rehearsing once. After that I spent about 30 minutes listening to two or three songs and picking my final choice for songs (it will probably change, I don't doubt it) and then creating a finalized play list. I then made a set list and put songs and read poetry in order and created a rough opening and ending in my head. I also kicked out on piece of poetry from my performance "Black Girl White Girl" will no longer be in my performance.

Outside of Class:
Goals: I hoped to have had finished choreographing one of the songs.
I spent a little over an hour working on choreography, I keep on cutting things and I never did get to finish that song, my creativity went in a different direction and I choreographed about 6 stanzas of the poem "999 Smiles". I have about 3-ish minutes of choreography so far, and I want there to be at least 15 by the performance day. However, everyone knows, a dance performance is never finished until one minute before you are on the stage.
