In rehearsals today, we began with Act 3 as Rachel had not
seen act 3 all the way through yet and wanted to see how it was going.
Elle, Danielle, Dylan and Ben began by performing their
clown routine which is a comical mime preformed to Ben playing piano. Rachel
Felt that the routine was very ‘Dance Heavy’ and needed more comical content
and more of a story. They discussed some options and Elle decided to work out a
way to extend the routine and include more mime and more of a narrative.
We then performed the animal routine to her. I think that
she enjoyed it over all but said that we needed to have much more energy and
that there were some parts we needed to re-visit such as our characterisation
of animals.
We needed to be more animal like, maybe by adding animal
noises, more animalistic gestures and perhaps a costume or prop that makes it
more obvious to the audience that we are animals.
Rachel also decided that she would like Lauren, Maisie,
Amber and I to perform the song ‘Clown’ by Emelie Sande, at the beginning of
Act 3, as a way of opening the act and changing the pace so that the audience
were ready for the change in mood.
