As we are starting musical theatre in Miss Dolan's class, we have been given details on what we are going to be doing for our showcase on 1st of July.
Me and Alice Norris are doing a song from Chicago called Nowadays. We have already decided what parts of the song we are singing whether it be togther or solo or in harmony. Over half term Alice came to my house after a rock challenge rehearsal at our school. We went through it without the words and used the backing soundtrack, we rhen started to think about adding our characters into it, further on we decided to start to set out what props we will be using and where we will be poisitioned when starting certain parts of the song. We have decided to use two canes/sticks and a chair, hopefully we will sort out our costumes soon. We are both so excited about performing this as we know we can really do something with it to make it look as good as possible for our showcase.
All of the performings arts class have been given specific songs to perform at the showcase and so we have been working on that recently in class. We have also been working on another song as a group which is called All That Jazz from Chicago. This is such a great number to have been working on as it is so fun and enjoyable, it has also made us think more about Fosse movements as the choreography is very Fosse which we all love. We haven't quite finished All That Jazz but we have done quite a bit on it and have worked out who is singing what part of the song and have run through it with the choreography added in too.
I cannot wait til 1st of July, it's going to be so good if we practice and practice. Should be great!
