Day before the show
Today was a true working day. I felt from the right beginning everyone in to finish anything unfinished and do their best to use all the time we had beneficially. We had special focus on getting the movement pieces to flow and work well as the transitions between different pieces. It was important that they actually had a meaning to them and a link to the scene, rather than just having people randomly moving on the stage. We also worked on the big ending movement piece for the first time in the performance space at Pelham. This brought up some difficulties, since the space where we have been rehearsing is a lot bigger than our performance space, and so we needed to tweak some parts a bit to make it work. For example. when before we had been in straight line creating the tableaux, now we needed to edit it into a semicircle to be able to fit it on the stage.
Even though we did a lot of good work, I still feel there is something we really need to improve on. With the beginning and end chorus poem, we really need to get a perfect complicity to be able to say the poem all together at the same time. Now, it seems that people are not sure when to start and what exactly is the rhythm. This could be fixed with working on our when we all take our in breath. Also, in our final movement piece, in the beginning with the jumps, not everyone is in time with their jumps(including me sometimes). This is about finding the rhythm and focusing on the piece, rather than the things happening around us.
