Today, we focused on Santa Fe again by adding movement and other people and also worked on the majority of duet/group songs.
When rehearsing Santa Fe we felt that it would be better to add more people in (Will, Tyler, Warren) to do some of the "Oh's" to give the song more depth. This motivational number is about taking something small and making it big, so a growth in people during the song would do well to show this. We also added some movement into the mix too as the song would be incredibly dull without. Although all we added was simple gestures and interaction with each other, it made the scene much more interesting to watch.
Throughout the lesson, we sang through a lot more songs such as Take Me or Leave Me, Out Tonight, Tango: Maureen, Rent, Life Support, and I'll Cover You.
When singing I'll Cover You, Owen and I had lot more chemistry as we had sung through this song a lot more. However, we often get confused on a couple of harmonies but with a lot of time left until the final performance, this will sort itself out over time as we both get more experienced.
We started singing Life Support today which is a song that includes a lot more non-Main characters. I feel Tyler and Warren did very well in this song and it showed that they had listened to the song a lot before today. I knew this song very well due to being a big fan of RENT before this unit so it was only a matter of teaching Cameron where he comes in as Mark.
Next lesson, we will most likely run through Life Support, Seasons of Love, and Santa Fe.
