Today we had our first show, which was in the evening. Me and Megan spent ages beforehand on marking I Want It All and adding some extra choreography to the scene we first appear in, as today was the first time we worked with a prop that we hadn't used before. The prop was a bin bag full of junk. This didn't change things around too much, we just needed to make sure we were comfortable with the prop and knew how to use it in what bits of the scene. I lead the first bit of I Want It All as I start off the song, so I need to make a big powerful start to the song.
What went well in the performance:
I felt it went really well and it was an overall good strong performance. I felt the energy throughout my performance was really good. This really helped me and Maisie bounce off each other with our interaction and dialogue. The atmosphere was great! I Want It All was amazing and had so much energy. It was that good we got everyone in the audience clapping and joining in and this lead me to put even more into the performance. Interacting with the audience was a new experience and I'm very confident with how it went and I feel like it improved my performance. I stayed in tune with all of the songs and I felt I carried the song really well and stayed in character. Megan really boost my confidence up a lot throughout the process of rehearsing and coming to performing. She supported me a lot and helped me with the singing and I helped her too. I also remembered all of my cues and lines. Crazy Little Thing Called Love went really well. I was worried about this one, as it has dancing and singing involved, at the same time. But I was wrong and didn't need to be worried as it was still good! I also throughly enjoyed performing it, as it's where Brit can let go with Meat and this where you can really see their relationship together. I felt like me and Megan did this really well.
What didn't go well:
When I die, I wasn't in time with the music on the 3 thuds. So when I got to the top block, I turned around and looked back at everyone and waited for the 3 thuds, then fell over. So I was in time with the bit after the 3 thuds.
What I need to do for the next show:
I need to relax a bit more with Megan and look less uncomfortable at times. I will do this by thinking less about what I'm doing and more on the performing and I need to forget about the sexual part of the relationship and think of it more as a friendly happy relationship. Also rehearse the scene where I die again to get it perfect.
