Almost There!

It's almost there, on Thursday we will be both doing a full blown dress rehearsal and performance. Everything is coming along nicely and we have most of the costumes done and dusted. Within the next few days before the performance we'll be doing rehearsals in the auditorium every chance we have. Today we got to have a practice in the actual auditorium where we 

will be performing. I feel 

like something I have to work 

on is knowing my ques and 

getting them perfect.

Practice, Practice And More Practice

Today we started off the by having to change into our PE gear, because we would be doing some dancing and it would be easier to move around. We started with our warm ups, including an 8 count warm up, some vocal warm ups and more. On Thursday we were given our roles, I am Simba's understudy and I am also Ed (The Dumb Hyena) I share this role with another person so we both say those lines, we also got to sing the first three songs from Lion King Circle Of Life, I Just Can't Wait To Be King and Hakuna Matata,
we also got to read through the script as our roles. We have been looking at make up looks for our certain characters, I haven't been able to find a make up look I like, but, I'm sure I will find one eventually.

Hakuna Matata, What Wonderful Phrase!!

Today we learnt a small portion of dance from Hakuna Matata and we had a read of the script, some people took the part of certain characters, although, the teachers said that this didn't mean we immediately got that role and we were just taking this role temporarily. Learning the dance was really fun, for the dance we went in a pair with another person, my partner and I were asked to perform for a video with another pair, so people could learn the dance at home.

Festival Of Fun

Today I learnt a little of the Afrikaans 
pronunciation from Circle Of Life myself and we also learnt some new vocal warm ups. We also got to spend some short time with a tutor with two others to audition to have a solo in the musical. In the end I would like to either be Simba or Ed, but, i'd really be happy with any role I get.

Musical Theater - Festival Of The Arts

This year for Festival Of The Arts I have been chosen for Musical Theatre, much like last year, except this year instead of Annie we will be doing The Lion King Musical. This year over 30 people have been chosen for musical theatre.

Today we did some warm ups and games to work on our acting, vocals and dancing. Including games like tequila, and activities like doing a short part of one of the songs. 

I know much like last year that the choreography will be a challenge, 

and there will be a lot of opportunities for everyone. 

Week Three of Festival Of The Arts

Next Tuesday being the last 

Week Two of Festival Of The Arts

After a week we are all heading towards being an awesome group of performers performing a highly edited production of  Annie

Festival Of The Arts

LO: to be confident with the story line.

I decided to try and remember the script so no matter role I get I can remember my lines. Today we've worked the choreography for It's A Hard Knock Life.
