Jobs

We all got jobs to do last lesson like making posters.  I got a job of painting random stuff maybe.

Last 3 lessons + dancing

In the last 3 lessons we coriagraphed 'Down down down down down down down and out', did singing practice for bad guys and then we did a dancing lesson after school for Fat Sam's Grand Slam.

Whoops!

I'm so sorry; i completely forgot about this blog until i saw the new timetable sheet today.  I've had 4 Performing Arts lessons (as well as most of academic review day in the Nyman Room) since my last post and we have now finished blocking the play.  Contrary to most of our songs - Fat Sam's Grand Slam - is now just being sung basically as loud as we can.  We had our first rehearsal today and now most of our lessons will be in the hall.  This is because we will be performing Bugsy Malone in the hall and obviously need to be familiar with the stages and exits/entrances etc.  I have started to learn my lines and song words.  I also went through one of my scenes as Captain Smolsky with the new drama teacher.

1st blocking

Today we sang a bit of 'you give a little love' and then we started blocking the first scene - where Bugsy is acting as the narrator.  This was quite helpful as i wasn't really sure what Laughing Boy was meant to do here although i knew he's a hood.

Fat Sam's Grand Slam

Today we sang Fat Sam's Grand Slam.  We perfected the notes and also did some breathing excerises.

Friday 11th Febuary 2011

Today we started on Bugsy Malone and each did a short scene from the play.  We also made notes on the play as we read through it as well.  I gathered that there are two warring gangs: Fat Sam's and Dandy Dan's
