inclement
what do you do when the choreographer is seriously delayed? rehearse and clean fragments. i put on my ‘rosie head’ on and thought about what she wants/needs from the existing material.
block a
«i am» need to think about supporting the delivery of this text over time. a coaching session and a vocal warm-up from the acting/drama staff would be useful.
«parade i» review basic drill, needs to be more military.
«dill 1: split» clarity of commands, no false stepping. «dill 1: silent» timing needs to come from the ‘front’ person, don’t side-eyeball. «drill 2 » needs to contrast «drill 1», should be more quirky but still clean/unison.
«parade ii» wheel & quick march with drop-off (fast pace). back to the quality of «drill i» to set-up «drunken drill».
«squad squeegee» must be precise to counter the «drunken drill» breakouts. alternating patterns of order and disorder. «lads dance» appears, and disappears into drunken unison.
block b
«awesome» (jackie text) into «tyre derby» which is choreographed, but physical/frantic in places. need to work on precise marking in this section, to manic for repeated runs. needs to look impressive and slightly overwhelming.
«circuit! : mini» a brief pt session instead of crazy circuits
«recce» clear signals, direct squad members. staying low but not stuck on ground. (need to do some low level traveling exercises)
«attack i» mixed dynamics; the audience eyes needs to track across the stage. each attack groups should emerge ‘surprisingly’.
«drop-allegro» (combination of asylum drop section and class allegro phrase), and «splat» (remainder of the allegro phrase)
a run-through reveals we have 14 minutes so far.
