On.... of November, me and my class dressed up in crazy 1980's style fashion clothes. I found this day really helpful as I got to connect with the feel and the atmosphere, by wearing the crazy outfits, stripy leggings and leg warmers, listening to the style of music, and dancing a mini performance to get into the groove.
We arranged ourselves into three groups, depending on the different 80's style that we wanted to show in our presentation and in the clothes and accessories that we were wearing. Me and three other girls dressed up in bright, vibrant coloured clothes and accessories, such as sweat bands and leg warmers. This showed how bold people in the 80's wanted to be, showing off and wearing bold clothes meant that they would fit in more! We presented a short snapshot of what life would have been like in that time. By dancing in a crazy way, flicking legs up and over-the-top moves, we created a scene. We presented this to Cyndi Lauper's song, Girls just wanna have fun, showing that we want to have a good, funky time with our mates. We decorated four boards to show the others what we were about. We named our club 'Illuminate' and used bold, luminous paints to emphasise this, painting 80's objects such as rubiks cubes, funky shapes, speakers and records. I feel really happy with the day as we all got into the 80's vibe, which helped me out a lot when deciding what to include for my magazine and the type of designs that I could include.
There were two other groups, showing two other styles of the 80's. One group created the 'rave' atmosphere, dancing robotic moves, painting smiley faces representing drugs. I feel that they did show the theme across well, however the music didn't really fit with the dancing. Maybe, they could add another track to merge into the music which shows the type of dancing that would be used in the rave clubs. The second group created a presentation on the early mid-80's, painting on the boards phrases like 'PEACE', 'SAVE THE FUTURE', EDUCATION NOT MISSILES', 'USE A CONDOM', and 'CHOOSE LIFE'. They also stomped into the room like a robot, shouting the phrases out then praying at the end. I feel that this was very bold and represented well, however I feel that to improve this, they could have added stronger movements when entering the room to create more tension and emphasis into the phrases.
