Half Term Rehearsal

Today I think there was a little bit of miss understanding of what we were doing to in rehearsal as to a run through, but Rachel clarified that it was a Tech Run and that Kim and the team were sorting out the lighting for us to make the show look great. Also this rehearsal involved a cue-to-cue tech run, so that you tech team could figure out when the lights and sounds is needed. I think that there was a lot of negativity today in rehearsal, and I think I was apart of this group, as I was confused on what was going on today so it got a bit stressful and we were all bouncing of each-others negativity. Today was mainly based on props, costume, sound and lighting and the staging.

As we were putting up the staging, after it had been taken done for the exams last week, Elle and I had a little discussion about the staging as there was a ramp. This was brought up because of our costumes, as Lauren and Elle are wearing heels and also the Laser scene- where the bohemians were being brainwashed and they were finding it hard not to slide down the ramp. So Elle and I contributed to today rehearsal by changing the staging to see if it worked, this that it was changed into a run way instead of the ramp. We did this and showed Rachel to see what she thought. We knew that it was really close to the show, but the layout of the the ramp was the same as the run way so it was easy to adapt too. Although we had to make sure there was a gap between the Evil End from the Bohemian End we had to take out one of the block to make sure there was a separation. 

There was another change to the staging at the Bohemian end, changing the levels so there is higher blocks and lower block. 

We also cleaned out the costumed cardboard and put in boxes costume and props that we could use for the show. We found piece of material that we are using for the Bohemian end of the staging.

Although there was other little bits going on, Me and Megan got all of our props and equipment together and went down to room 22 to record the bikini wax scene for the show. I prepared and done my make-up and Megan and I record the scene and propped up the background.

 I was brought my laptop in and practised my songs and ran through  my lines with Lauren. Whilst Lauren was busy I went and found the sound track and ran through all of my songs. I am feeling really confident with songs now. 

I think today has taught me that it is great to understand what is going on and always asks questions if you don't understand anything, but also to adapted quickly to change without making a fuss about it. I found today stressful, as I had a lot going at home as well as at college. I found it hard and challenging to try and manage stuff outside of college as well as college work. 

I think in the future I will take more time to think about things that are going on and adapt quickly to them, but to also always ask questions if I don't understand anything. I also need to find a way of managing me time, effort and energy for the future so that I don't get to over stressed.
