Monday, Feb 18, 2019 *SEE CALENDAR CHANGES BELOW
Let's get back to Juanita, classes, friends and Our Town rehearsals! I will be revealing the poster and we will start publicity this week! NOTE: we need 16 chairs for the production that look like the ones shown. If you have a chair that can be loaned please send me a pic. I want only wooden chairs (no cushions).
6th and 7th period: Independent Musical Movies are DUE on Tuesday, Feb 19. Make sure you have watched your movie or you will lose points on this day, and not be able to work with your group. There will be no extended time - you have had plenty of time to watch a movie! If you were NOT in class when the movies/groups were chosen then you need to watch Singing in the Rain.
Our Town Actors: Your goal should be to be memorized by the end of this unexpected vacation. Memorize in chunks throughout the day. Start at a different scene each time so that you even out the amount of energy you spend on each scene. You need to make sure you are WORD PERFECT. How do you do that? Use your rehearsal tape starting at a different scene each time. Remember to always memorize OUT LOUD, always memorize with your eyes on your highlighted lines, always memorize with as much feeling as possible, always look up any word or phrase that is not a normal part of your vocabulary for both pronunciation and meaning, and most importantly always memorize with full projection and articulation to activate your muscle memory! Another great memorization (and character building) trick is to write out all of your lines (just your lines, not cues) by hand. You will be more fully aware of patterns and the evolution of your character narrative when you see all your lines together.
CHOIR!! Learn and memorize Bless Be.
1. Blest Be The Tie That Binds SLOWER with VOCALS: use this one to LEARN the song. It is slower, and has the lyrics.
2. Blest Be the Tie That Binds AT TEMPO without Vocals: use this one to practice with once you have learned the song. It is the tempo that is more like what we are going to be using, has the lyrics scrolling but doesn't include the vocals so you can get to use to singing to the background music (learn ALL FOUR verses from the first link)
*CHANGES FOR NEXT WEEK:
We have missed 7 rehearsals due to weather. I know you must be concerned that we won't have the time to be ready, but I have revised the calendar, continued to work on all the technical and production aspects of the show, and at this point we will still plan to produce on our original dates opening on March 21. I am counting on all of you to come back MEMORIZED and well REHEARSED. Please note the changes to this week's rehearsals, including which parts we are doing and later times. Community poster day will be moved to Wednesday, Feb 27. I will print and have new calendars for you next week that show all the changes. We can do this!
