Rehearsal Log

Rehearsal video


This was the first video evidence we recorded for the Brighton fringe festival performance. In this rehearsal it was starting to come together in contrast to the previous rehearsals were we didn't have much material. I think that it was hard for us to start because of the number of people in the group , having six heads all wanting to have their own way to start the piece was a challenging because I thought we were going to be having trouble coming up with any sort of material. I pictured the piece starting with one person followed by another till we were all in almost like a flash mob effect because we were the opening act of the second half therefore we needed to grab their attention. As the rehearsal went on we agreed to run in and hype up the crowd because it was an upbeat song. In the rehearsal we polished all we had planned last few rehearsals and watching it back I think that it looks great even though we could be a bit more fluid and uniform with our movements.


Uptown funk is a 3 minute and at this point we  have about a minute worth of material therefore in the next rehearsal we will start to play around with choreographic devices to enhance our piece. A choreographic device we could use is repetition, I think that  if we had a motif that was repeated we stand a good chance of leaving a mark on the audience as they would think of our routine every time they hear the song. Repetition would also extended length of our piece plus it could be used alongside other choreographic devices like fragmentation to spice up our choreography.


Another obstacle we faced in this rehearsal was not having all the members of the group in the rehearsal. This had an effect on the ideas we generated because we had less brains in the room plus if we were all in we could have worked on tiding up how we looked as group. Everyone is allocated a solo in the song therefore not having people in means we just stand through their part(s) which reduces our feel of what it will be like when we perform it next week.












Fringe Performance Tech Run






Above is our tech run just before the show , it looks great however there are tiny little bits were some members don't remember the routine therefore when we get there we will run through them quickly to ensure we perform to the best of our abilities.
