3.6.14 - dress rehearsal

Today we went through our group choreography in Kats lesson. For my group piece I feel that timeing is a big problem especially for the start there is no ecstatic start for this and very placed, yet to change this it is all about the arm lineaments and dynamics making sure they are sharp and fast in time with the music. One we performed a few run throughs we decided to go back to our original music, because we all felt more secure with this when performing, when performing yesterday with the new track it threw all of us , so choreography and time management was all wrong. 

Therefore we made the decision to going back to our old music because it was more sharp and confident, than the other, all this was down to adding extra noise in contrast with the Tsunami. 

We then recapped the show, me and bella made 1 count of 4 for the bow, did to Riley refusing we thought of doing whacking and riley freestyle in the middle 

- formation - me - Riley - Bella 

The bow is secure and I feel comfortable doing this but at the moment it is lacking energy and fun but when we have got the drenalin on the day of show I know and feel it is going to lift 100%. 

Dress rehearsal : 1pm 

We started dress rehearsal full out through the whole show. 

I felt I got into much more into character for the Fast car and from this it lifted my performance 100% and individuals noticed this from the performance when performing dress rehearsal I cannot perform my Business section in my leather leggings due to friction when sliding it obstructs me, and I cannot fully slide so because of this I get up more quickly for this , Therefore I am going up out on my cotton trousers that I wear for Tsunami due to feeling more softer when performing on the floor. I'm glad i noticed this and not on the actual performance. 

Tsunami feedback ; I felt that it is much better with the old track and due to having 3 seconds spare until we go into the next section we cannot wait , me and rob need to act out while the kids (Billie & Honor ) freak out. This will allow our piece to look much more neater and so the audience don't think we have gone to fast, this will show a much more smoother transition. 

Mine and Robbies section the lifts need to be much more lighter, I feel because it's a fast tempo I feel I have to go fast and rush but this is not the case, the ending needs to be very emotional,me and rob just needs to keep going over them due to making sure we don't look awkward when performing them. 

My main self point is remember my picture every time I forget the picture so the ending with my over speech it looks awkward due to me interpreting I have a picture but I actually don't so the audience will not understand. I need to remember this for the show!!! 

Milonga - remember that the transition has rotated from the studio to the theatre so I need to remember I am on the opposite side with shard. 

Another point is to perform every time in my shoes as I feel my performance is struggling as I am not used to the shoes therefore sliding all over the floor. My other reminder is to remember to bring shorts as I am wearing a dress and chose to wear no leggings therefore I need to wear shorts so I can spin and not feel insecure if my dress rises as I will be secure with under garments. 

Bollywood is my favourite piece and the costumes lift the piece so much I feel that every time I perform this it gets much more stronger, I know all the choreography and don't rely on any one so having no Mirrors is no problem. 

I feel I need to put much more emotions in and remember not to smile. At the start when we go around in circles and go to the floor while the princesses perform. I need to look straight to the audience straight back leaning on my legs with a good posture. 

Latch today I felt was not the best I performed the spacing and transitions I felt we're wrong. I don't know if people were not in the right place but I felt out of place and was very cramped to perform. 

Main feedback was eye contact when walking forward all together at the start, looking directly at the audience so that they get shivers. 

Elements was great I feel happy about the choreography my main concern is the breathe section due to Riley not getting in his place on time I look out of place and was not in the correct place because of this I explain this over again but no change. Main feedback for this was to style it out, more flowly in character, as it looks more stiff  and up right but needs to be fun a d grounded styling out the choreography as it is commercial. 

Today was successful and I feel that now  I am performing in my costumes that the performances have lifted positively with each one, and I am looking forward to the show on Thursday.
