11th Septmeber

Musical Theatre

Today we met with the 1st years and watched the opening song from Madness The Musical, which is Our House. We then sang through it as a class, then in a smaller group, then in an even smaller group. This helped us grow in confidence with singing. Also it helped us get used to the tune and the lyrics.

We then separated off into groups and choreographed a dance to the first verse and the chorus. As this is the opening number it has to be really energetic. I think our group worked well together we all had lots of ideas which we all talked about to pick the most effective. As everyone was giving so many idea's and everyone was really enthusiastic I decided to take charge and make sense of everyone's ideas. I think our choreographed piece was good because it started off structured then once the chorus kicked in we where all walking around the stage using all the space, but when ever we sang Our House we would point to ourself on Our then on House we would make a house shape with our hands. I think this was a good idea as the audience could join in which would engage them.

We then started to learn the choreography for the opening song. We start in a freeze frame as kids in a playground. I decided to be a little kid playing hand games with my friend.

I'm going to learn the song and the tune as some parts are quite fast and I haven't yet mastered it.
