This rehearsal focused on running through the Hamilton routine while singing and dancing simultaneously. The ensemble worked on improving aspects like singing more lyrics after each run through. It's important to clearly portray the story through singing, dancing, and acting with strong facial expressions and eye contact. While the author executed movements well and had good timing, their energy levels and singing needed more work. Their stamina was most challenging due to the routine's demands. They will continue practicing to improve their performance skills.
This is my initial skills audit, showing my understanding of musical theatre and performing arts skills. I will use this to progress over the year and improve my knowledge and ability.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Hamilton Write Up 2.pdf
1. Hamilton write up 2
The focus of this rehearsal was to do a run through of the routine and sing so the
ensemble could practise singing and dancing at the same time as we tend to forget
to sing as well. My SMART target in this rehearsal was to sing along with the chorus
spontaneously.
During this rehearsal, we did not warm up physically or vocally which we should’ve
done but we ran through Hamilton multiple times to make sure we were constantly
perfecting the routine. After every run through we would talk about what needed to
be improved and then we actioned those improvements in the following run through.
For example, In the first run through the ensemble did not sing much but in the
second run through you could tell we were singing more as we were more aware of
the improvements that needed to be made. We still were missing out some lyrics
though, so that is something we need to work on more.
It’s important to portray the singing, dancing and acting elements of this routine to
clearly tell the story using the context and time period of the piece. For example,
Hamilton is an american musical so we have to sing in an american accent to show
its origin. Also, some of the dance moves explain what Hamilton or Burr is saying at
the time so it is important for these movements to be strong or sharp so the audience
can understand what is being said. For example, when Burr says to Hamilton, ‘Why
do you write like you’re running out of time?’ We use our hands as paper and
pretend to write on them. The acting needs to be powerful to show how powerful the
piece is. To do this we need to use strong and serious facial expressions along with
making eye contact with the audience, to help them connect to the routine on a
deeper level.
In the original workshop of Hamilton I worked on skills like timing and energy. I
applied these skills in this rehearsal to show improvement. I had good timing and hit
all the beats in the music as well as being in unison with the rest of the ensemble.
My energy levels could still use some work but I think I was just having an off day.
However, I will continue to show these skills and more over the next rehearsals so
that my final performance is the best that it can be.
I found it easy to pick up the choreography quickly as dance is my speciality and I’m
used to learning dances at a fast pace. I remembered all the movements in this
rehearsal and executed them well and will continue to pick up the rest of the
choreography quickly. However, I found it very difficult to learn the lyrics and then
sing them at the same time as dancing because I am not used to singing. I
remember to sing some parts but then stop at other parts because I am focusing too
hard on the movement I am doing. This is something I need to practice so I can
improve it and sing along the whole time by the final performance.
2. In this rehearsal I found my stamina the most challenging as the fast paced dance
along with the singing at the same time made me get out of breath quicker than
usual. This affected my energy throughout rehearsals as this routine tired me out the
most. To overcome this I just need to practise the routine over and over to get used
to it so that my stamina can adapt to the effort and energy I need to put in. Also, I
can work on breath control so that I can breathe more during the routine.
Furthermore, even if I am out of breath this control will hide that from the audience
instead of me looking tired.
My strength in this rehearsal was my timing. I managed to hit all the beats and keep
in unison with everyone else. I was on time to my cues to enter the space and I
continuously got to my freeze frame positions for the specific sections and held it for
the correct amount of time. However, my weakness in this rehearsal was my energy
levels. Even though I executed the movements well, my lack of energy and
characterisation made it boring to watch. Improving this will fully embody the
elements of musical theatre and make it more enjoyable to watch. I will make sure I
have higher energy levels next time by having breakfast and warming up so I can get
my blood pumping and be ready to go and give the routine my all.
I think my SMART target could still be better. I definitely have improved with the
singing by singing more while dancing. However, I still often forget to join in with
some of the words so I need to practise this in my own time. Also, I need to project
my singing more so I can be heard and then people will know I am actually singing.
I had good timing here as my arms
went out the same time everyone
else’s did, shown by everyone having
straight arms held outwards. If I had
not had good timing here it would’ve
been obvious because we are in a
circle very close together.
This is the part where I often forget
to sing along with the chorus. I am
so focused on getting to this position
in time with everyone that I don’t
sing. In this part of the video you
can see the rest of the ensemble
3. singing but I am not so that is what I need to improve on for next time.
Here I could’ve put more
energy and effort into
my movements because
the other two dancers
are all the way on the
floor and I am just
floating. This makes me
look lazy and makes the routine look sloppy so this is another improvement I need to
make for next time.
