Here is the video of the finale Don't Feed the Plants!
I feel this was very successful as there isn't much dancing involved and is all about the singing and getting the audience 'geared up' after such a heavy hitting performance of horror and humour!

I think all I need to do to improve is to appear more scared when we point to corners of the stage as if something was coming towards me.

revolutionarts2016: Dentist rehearsal - 19/5/15

Here is the Video from the dentist song.
There are many things I enjoyed about the dance to this song, its comical style and the way everything is empathised onto the sadistic characteristics of the Dentist Orin.
One thing I need to work on is the dance after the long note 'IIIIIIII' because I realised after watching this video that I was facing inwards with my back to the audience during the step clicks. This can be fixed just by me ensuring I face the right way when we go into this part of the song.

Over all I think this is my strongest dance so far.

Little Shop of Horrors- Day 2

We began the day with re-running Little Shop of Horrors to ensure we all remembered the dance whilst we sang to the backing tacks. This helped us to remember the dance whilst also being able to sing in tune.
Then we began Da'doo and in this everyone has their own individual section, for example mine is with Dan and Ali where we walk to a shop and begin to order many things which we all quickly grab and say we don't have enough money for and run. We then meet up on the the other side of the stage and crack open a coke and celebrate.
One of my favourite parts of this song is when we say "TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN" and we all look the wrong and then correct ourselves on the beat.
I struggle with the words because I haven't learnt them yet and trying to hold my script and keep up with my section.

Little Shop Of Horrors-Day 1

We began to set the dance for Skid Row but before that we stood in our harmony groups and sang the song through together to first get the singing right. After that Dan McKay started to teach us the dance he had created. He started by instructing us to get into our own characters and behave how we think our character would. We began with a freeze frame and tried to over exaggerate as much as we could to really empathise our distinct characters. As a foreign character trying to find a Taxi 'Cab' I start the dance by trying to call the Cab by using the classic old school American method of using a thumbs up.
This was my idea of making me stick out from the crowd as a foreigner as to be overly trying to fit in with the classic American film style Cab calling and the heavy, Funny accent.

I struggled with the dance a little as dancing is not my strong point and I had to repeat the sections many times to get it right.
