Avenue Q Reflective Blog :4

This rehearsal was our last rehearsal for singing before our performance, the problem was that an exterior production which involved members from our class were also rehearsing for a upcoming performance. This effected the rest of the class as we could not do a full run through of Avenue Q as people were missing from the lesson. What made it worst was that we had to do this rehearsal in front of first years as a little preview, I felt upset about this because it wasn’t showing our best and as the olders in second years you will automatically want to set an example. With that being said the class pulled through, we did the best we could, filling in for the missing people, but we mostly choreographed some movement with Inez and blocked the staging for the songs so that we knew what we were doing and could tell the rest of the class when we saw them next.

What worked well, is it showed that we could work as a team and support eachother so that we didn’t embarrass ourselves. We had to remember that our audience hasn’t seen this production before and therefore would be none the wiser. Avenue Q is playful and fun, so it helped to relax more and just perform even though we knew what was wrong.
