6th March 2015 Cats dance rehearsal with Kat + Emily

We began the lesson today by going through our improvement routines, this really is helping flexabilty, balance and strength. by going through this i think that it will improve my flexabilty, by focusing on mainy stretching and the pulling of the muscles. 

For the main part of the lesson we focused onour dance sequences for Cats. Today we had more of our group to work with, by having everyone back we worked on adding in some lifts to the dance. I had the idea of having a lift that represents a scrum of reporters, all pilling on top of everyone to get the to best report about what was happening on the stage. We started of with the idea of Jess climbing up everyone else like stairs and then ending up on my shoulers, when she gets up there this is the point where we sing the 'Barks'. I then slide her down my side, onto the rest of the dancers and is lying across them, we then put her down on the floor ready for the motiff. We had the idea of everyone having a different travelling outine to the positions ready for the main chunk of the dance, we will set this in the next lesson. 

In this lesson we also began to play around with exstaggeration, pace,repetition, and playing around with reversed and canon.
