In todays lesson with Kat we were taught the opening dance. We were taught the main marching sequence which is revolved around marching in a box, and then we had to devise our own 8 beat sequence to add into it. We then put this all together to the music and worked out all of the transitions. For the marching sequence we have to have strong extension and sharp punchy moves to fit with the fast beats of the music.
There is one bit with in the song where the Baker and Cinderella have a line together "There's something in the glade there". We had originally choreographed to have a lift on this line yet it was said that it didn't really fit in with our characterisation of two scared characters.
For the 8 beats I had chosen to do a fast piece with different levels, however during the song I have a solo line when it is this part so I had to change it to something different so that I am in the right position to sing my lines.
My target for my opening song is to work on my musicality with the song, I think by making my movements in time with the song will give me the chance to bring my character to life. I think that this will help bring my character fear of the woods to life. I will go over the dance at home in my own time and go over the dance and add little trait to show my characters fear. I hope to have this complete before the next run of the opening scene, so I can use the other characters in the scene to bump up my characterisation.
