Variety lesson 12th

Today we used a drama lesson to rehearse variety . We all discussed what our act was and what lighting we'd like . Also we disused the blocking for out staging . Me and jess said that our act will defiantly be of the two witches Galinda and Elphaba from the musical Wicked  and we are singing the song 'What is this feeling' . I play Elphaba and Jess plays Galinda . We are going to have Luke, Max and Holly Hoskinsons are our student onsomumble.

Myself and Jess discussed that we would like to start the song off standing on either side of the stage with two spot lights on us . After I say the que line 'short' we want a general wash of purple and green. This will represent that two witches personalities . Always we will add abit of movement to add depth to our performance . We decide we will walk towards eachother and argue the song in the middle of the stage facing eachother then at the ending turn back to back to show the stereotypical conflict between the two witches.

Here is our planning sheet .

After our break we had to perform what we had so far to the rest of the class and vice versa. We gave eachother feed back on what we thought worked really wel with in their act and we also gave them constructive criticism to help them improve . Positives for myself and Jesses perfromance was we had good characterisation , good use of the space , showed confidence with in song , lyrics and characters and that our hourmerneys where inpressive. Our constructive criticism was that we need to block out the onsomumbles movement to make it look neater and professional .
