Directing and Choreographing Movement
In this rehearsal we were told to independently devise choreography to the opening song to Avenue Q, as I had no main role I took the opportunity to help direct things because I could see the performance externally as a audience would. What worked well was that I could use the genre of the play to my advantage to be as creative an as playful as possible. In my opinion it reminded me of our take of Beauty and the Beast that we performed last year.So I had to keep in mind that everyone had to be doing some sort of movement not just the main characters because we would be being watched at all times. What challenged us was we found it difficult to work cohesively, I think this is because we were under a time limit to have this choreography completed and every one wanted to implement there ideas to the peace but we had little time to incorporate and execute every ones. This evidently caused time being wasted and distraction from the piece. How we resolved this dilemma was by starting from the beginning with what we had and quickly trying the idea which was most preferred and if it didn't work then we would use the other idea. This rehearsal was not really much about singing but about working together and implementing our knowledge of Musical Theatre as performers and using the stage and all we have been taught to produce a second year level performance.
