12th December

We rehearsed the dances to start with to make sure that everyone was up to date with them. I think as a theatre company we work well together because a few people were stuck on some of the dances so I went over the moves with them to help them out. And as I was off on Friday, during the break we rehearsed the changes to scene 12. We changed the scene so that there was more movement and energy into it.

During the rehearsals I rehearsed with my backpack for the first time, however its hard to do the fast food dance with the backpack on so I think i'm going to take it off and put it inside the trolley.

We then rehearsed the dances adding in some new moves and finishing off the marry you dance.

5th December

Today we changed the blocking for scene 4. Rather than having the police walk on we pop up from the top of the decking. I pop up facing the wrong, this immediately shows the audience that I am a bit dopey and stupid. We then run around directly with high knees, the is making fun of how police usually walk as they walk very purposefully. When we are standing in a line we step forward as we say our  lines, also we added me walking around buttons then looking him up and down, when I walk around him I make an obvious concentration face, this shows to the audience that I have to think really carefully and hard just to work out that Buttons is a botherer.
