Little Shop of Horrors: Day 9

Today, we began by singing the finale "Don't feed the plants" and then filmed it the second time as seen below. I bottled the last line of "we'll have tomorrow" as I didn't feel as if I would pull it off and the camera made me a little
More nervous than normal which was strange as I sang the higher octave (albeit a bit patchy) for every other practice.

After that, we filmed the "dentist" musical number which looked as funny as before.

From here, we went onto set "the meek shall inherit" we began by listening to the song through as a class. From here, we set the dialogue in time with the music and acted out the whole piece, before going back over pieces and adding in little things such as how the girls move me to each contracter on the stage. To our choreographer forming a cluster of the cast on every chorus line to do a sequence of movements. We practiced this a few times before out teachers gave us ideas of how to stage scenes, ideal places to stand and question for when to form the cluster. In addition , I was given ideas on how to stage my solo verse , which involved me coming out to the front. At the same time I grid to add my own actions to the lines to make sure I wasn't jut standing there and being boring. I turned on the end line to walk away before turning slowly to sing my cute, slow, slightly cringy line to show I had only just remembered and how Seymour feels for Audrey.  We went through the piece again before our choreographer added a final movement piece to the end line of raining our arms and throwing them down. We then filmed the performance which took us up to the end of the lesson. One thing I found hard about this song is my reactions. Obviously Seymour is going to be unsure and shocked, but maintaining that act constantly is hard as I feel as if I could be dong something else as well. However, I need to watch the video back to see where improvements can be made.

Finally, we moved on to do the rest of act 2 which only took around 5 minutes as we skipped some numbers and we were near the end anyway, but it helped us get a grasp of the end of the show and gave me ideas of how I will perform these scenes.
