Having started this unit almost two months ago now, the stage we are at is quite worrying. We should have thought about things such as set, lighting, sound and costumes a long time ago. Although we have done some costume designs, we need to actually get / make these costumes and consider the different aspects to putting the show together as well. Taylor has decided that she would like to look in to costume and make-up design, whilst Will has decided that he would like to learn how to use the lighting desk, so he shall do some research and learn to do this. I have decided that I shall edit any backing tracks that need editing. As Cameron and I would like a backing track to "Tango: Maureen" without the long dance break, I thought that I could edit the track so we could have the best quality backing track without a dance break. Everyone is going to specialise in one (or maybe two) aspects of the production - therefore, I shall edit mine and Cameron's track and any other tracks that need editing as well.

Musical Theatre (14) - Specialise
In today's lesson we performed "La Vie Boheme", "Seasons of Love" and "Santa Fe", and sang through "Rent". "La Vie Boheme" is still lacking a bit of energy, so unless we all have the same high energy, we will have to have more set movement in this number to ensure that everyone is moving and doing something! "Seasons of Love" sounds a lot better now we have added more people on to the "oo's" underneath Taylor and Alice's solo parts. Originally it was only us girls and Owen on the "oo's" when we weren't singing, but now everyone sings them, making them more prominent (but not over-powering). Vocally, "Santa Fe" was a lot better than what it has been but it was a little bit static. Therefore, we have adapted it so that Lewis, Cameron, Owen and Henri move about and interact with each other more, as well as moving over to and interacting with Tyler, Warren and I. We haven't staged "Rent" yet, but this is on the list of things to do! However, vocally, the piece went quite well today - however, everyone needs to learn the lyrics and I need to teach the harmonies to the other girls for the chorus parts.
