Monday 4th - Friday 8th

Musical theatre Matilda the musical 

Mondays lesson was mostly rehearsing the singing side of the school song and going over the choreography again.

Tuesdays lesson we started with a physical warm up, after this we of course split into our groups and one group went to rehearse their characterisation in the suite like our group did last dance lesson, then we could get to work on the alphabet blocks, after rehearsing the song with the adjustments we’d made we could start polishing the section with the blocks and learning the new section so we were up to date, this went fairly smoothly and we negotiated where everyone should be stood to throw and catch the blocks and so the audience could still see us and we could keep going with the choreography without bumping into anyone, after learning and fixing what we had we rejoined with the other group and watched them run through it, then we did our first half and then we went after them and did it again with the blocks

Fridays lesson began as usual with a vocal physical warm up and then we went right into rehearsal to get as much done as we could, after running through the block section to work out everyone’s placements so we could essentially mirror the other group in case anyone needs to fill in for another person, after we’d sorted that out we went ahead and learnt another section using up more letters and getting closer to the end, after running that through we learnt the last bit when we were able to do the final part where we were all in a stacked height formation from kneeling to standing and we did the last part of the song really fast and all in time and then all looking to the final Z block to end the song, after multiple rehearsals we went ahead and filmed each group to watch back on Tuesday and even though some things didn’t go smoothly the most of it worked pretty well.
