Six rehearsals-week 2/3

 

Week 2 of rehearsals for six the musical-

Ex Wives/Ex Wives Repertoire:

This is the first song in which we learnt for the rehearsals which includes all the six wives, dancers and ensemble cast. As I am part of the ensemble there is only small chunks of this song that are repeated a couple of times which I have felt have been easy to learn and I feel as if I have got my harmonies sorted out, I just need to learn the words a little better as I get confused and sometimes sing some of the queen's lines like at the beginning only the queens are meant to say divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded and survived but I occasionally forget and say the words. Overall, I feel as if the cast as a whole has got all of our harmonies and lines almost perfected. However, we have now started learning the choreography for the song which is causing some people to only move and not sing. So, what we need to improve on is being able to perform the choreography as well as singing the lyrics in our correct harmonies. 


No Way:

I feel as if the song "No Way" which is sung be Katherine of Aragon is the easiest song that we have learnt so fare. Us year 13 learnt it in class last Thursday which was quick and easy as we mainly say one-line lyrics that "n-n-n-n-n-n no way" which is repeated throughout the majority of the song. Then yesterday we gathered with the year 12 and sung it though which was simple, and we nailed it first go.


don't Lose your head and heart of stone

In today's lesson we went over two new songs just as a year 13 class. We started of learning lose your head which is a shortish song which we learnt easily as the main lyrics we sing is "ooh Hoo". The other lyrics we mainly speak to them meaning

Six the musical show week

  Monday 14th November  Today was a tech rehearsal which we all knew was mainly for the technicians to help them out to make sure all of the cues and lighting is correct for the actual show and to give them a full practice run. This also meant it was a very stop and start day so we didn’t really do a full run through, however it was very helpful for us to as it aloud is to keep going back and going over things in order to make them more precise each time as-well as learning our spacing and when and where we needed to be in the lighting. This rehearsal made me realize that I need to project more, especially in ex-wives. I feel that I need to make sure my breath control needs to be a lot stronger as I get breathy and off pitch while dancing during this number, although I do feel I have majorly improved on this since my first rehearsals. I also feel that I have improved on my breathe control and stamina during House of Holbein as I sounded a lot better after I had been practicing...

Six rehearsals-week 6

week 6  During this lesson we started of with a full run-through of all of the numbers including both dancing and singing. These rehearsals are very important as it helps us to build up our stamina for the real show so that we are ready , this is because it hard to sing whilst dancing especially if its a very fast and upbeat dance. Personally i feel that the main struggle for me is maintaining my breath throughout ex wives this is because of the dance break as is very fast and upbeat. The same goes for the house of Holbein as everything is very fast. This is something i need to work on as I will be able to give an a lot better performance if I'm able to keep up my stamina and strongly perform the whole way through. I  also need to proceed to work on my correct harmonies for ex-wives as I don't feel like I stick to the correct Harmonie as I tend to join in with the high Harmonie instead of the ...
