Today would usually be our dance lesson, but we are taking these lessons as rehearsals too. Sam practised with the Year 12s, on the dances as they are extra's in the play(bohemians and yappies). Unfortunately as this was happening we didn't have a lot of space to rehearse scenes, so we tried to rehearse scenes outside the studio. I mainly worked on learning my lines, as this Wednesday Rachel would like all of us to be off script. I asked Emily to help me with my scenes. So she filled in for whoever is suppose to be in the scene with me, as the people who are in the scene with me were busy with production roles or practising songs. Going over the lines quite a lot of times is really good practise, because it helps me remember them better. I also helped Emily with hers as well as she has recently changed character.
Sam also choreographed 'Crazy Little Thing Called' for us. She set me and Meat up on the top blocks as we are the main singers in the group and Galieo and Scarmouche down on the bottom blocks. This is a very dancy, bouncy number, so I choreograph was quite simple and bouncy, as we don't have a lot room on the blocks as it is. There was a lot of clicking a shimmering going on too. We went all the way through it and it went really well and I was fairly happy with the choreography. All of the year 12s were in it as well as extras on the lower blocks, which looked really good too. As everyone was joining in as its a big dancy number, it worked really well.
Me and Megan suggested when there is a bit of instrumental, it would be a good chance to show off a bit and dance together down at centre stage as its about love. So we decided to do a few spin ins and spin outs and do a little bum wiggle. Then when it was Galieo and Scaramouche's bit, we ran back over to the lower blocks and everyone would look at them and be crouched down as its there moment to shine. This looked really good and again worked well. When it was the last verses we though, me, Meat, Galieo and Scaramouche should be facing all of the extras and they faced us and taking it in turns to say a line each. This worked well as we are taking it in turns and everyone gets involved. Then at the end we sing a lot of 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love's'so Sam suggested we just dance in our pairs, looking all happy and cheerful.
Overall I think today's lesson was very productive. I need improve on my singing for 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', as I did a couple of bum notes. But I said to Megan that we can work on that together to make it really good.
