Blocking We Will Rock You

In this rehearsal i think i showed a lot of peer support, this was especially when i was teaching some choreography to the rest of the class. For example when we were going through the main phrase one person was confused and was not picking up the movement as quickly as some of the others, because of this i then went through the choreography with her so that she was at the same stage as the class. I did this by going through the movements slower so that she was able to pick them up easier, i think support is an important feature of a musical ensemble, especially when in a group where everyone has different strengths. For example some people are stronger at acting rather than dance, this is an advantage as we can all use our strengths to support each other, meaning that everyone can learn new things. As i am choreographing this number i am interested in what other people have to say, this is because i may have missed an opportunity to come up with ideas, however someone else could have seen this. This happened today when we were working out timing, a few people suggested different variations of the dance, we tested these out until we were able to figure out what worked best. I think i showed good determination in this part of the lesson as there were multiple times when the rehearsal was not going to plan and things were not working out, however i continues to work through them so that we could come out with the best possible outcome.

On the other hand i think i need to work on my self discipline to make sure that i am more on the ball during rehearsals, i need to make sure that i do not get side tracked. I need to make sure that when i am rehearsing scenes, songs or dances that i do so with 100% effort, this is partly so i am ready for the final performance as my muscle memory will know exactly what is happening. As well as, when everyone is giving their all, rehearsals are easier and w are able to have more of an idea of what the final product will look like. In addition to this i need to spend more time line learning so that i am ready for the off book date (2nd December) and i am confident. Once i am i can focus more on my character and becoming more familiar with her.
