Skid Row

Yesterday we sang through the song Skid Row as a whole class, this took the whole lesson as its a fairly long song and there are a few sections where it requires harmonies, this also took some time to work out as our class haven't really done singing like this before. I think we began to sound really good very early on and the song soon became to come together when everyone got the grasp on what to do. 
Today we then set the staging for this scene, I am the choreographer so I spent all evening Monday planning the staging for this. I didn't want to make this number too dance orientated as not everyone has had the dance training I have had but I also didn't want to make it very rigid and boring to I tried to create as much patterning and possible that only really involved walking around but hopefully looks effective. When teaching everyone today there was one or two things I did differently that were in my notes, I took one or two things out, changed how I was ending it but also added a few things in to add more to this number so again it wasn't just rigid and boring.

These are my choreography notes, I colour coded them so I would be able to clearly see the main patterning of people on stage, the ensemble were black, the three singing girls were pink and the two main principles (Seymour and Audrey) were blue, this also helped when drawing out small diagrams to be able to see who goes where.
