Today is our last day of rehearsals before we perform DFTA on wedneday. Today was to just tidy up things and make do a full run through and go over any bits we are unsure about it. We considered all of the feedback we got from the women and it went really well. Unfortunately with things like using velcro for quick changes, it would be too late to do that. But we found that before the last scene when the gang go off, we had enough time to change and come back on with our hoodies done up so the audience can't see the purple top. We also went over the animal taming routine at the ended up perfecting all the bits that we had feedback on or thing we thought needed going over. Me and Em made some other masks and made bigger holes in the eyes, so it was easier for us to see and not bump into each other. Also we rehearsed the little dance routine that's in a line and made sure we definitely all knew the timing perfectly. We all ended up feeling very clear about it all and got it perfect. The clowns perfected their routine and it looked good too.
We thought that the end of Act 3 needed to be changed as it was a bit of a boring ending. We origanally all came into the middle and finished with jazz hands, which is a bit of a cheesy ending. The music changes right at the end of Act 3, where we all come into the middle, so as we are all animals we should come into the middle acting like animals and all slowly go down to the ground. Then I suggested we should then all come up again slowly for about 8 counts and hit the ground on the eighth count and Amy and Ben should pop up through the middle, as they are the main stars of the show as they own the circus. We practised this in time with the music and it worked really well and everyone was really happy with it.
