Rehearsal one: The Making of Baby

6/11/2015

0 Comments

 
Today was exciting as it marked the start of a new weekly routine for me and Dylan.  It is a lovely time in the process of making a new devised show as the piece begins to emerge with every new rehearsal.  By December I should have a clearer picture of the show and a percentage of it should be choreographed.

The journey with a pushchair and baby in tow was not easy plus the weather was awful which didn't help.  I took the worst route on the train and tubes and would have been a lot better off if I had taken the time to plan routes without so many stairs.  I have it all planned for next time we go to The Place.

Since the casting session I had added a new cast member.  Laura D'Italia will be the fourth member of the cast and I will no longer be in so many scenes due to the fact that since pregnancy I have been dealing with sciatica which has now got very severe and causes me a lot of pain.

In this rehearsal we picked up where we had started at the casting session with the sleepy mothers scene.  I explained to the cast that I wanted to concentrate on this scene and get it more completed because I needed to have some film footage related to this show for me to use for further applications for future performances, residencies, etc.  The plan was to complete choreographing the scene in this session and then next week to film the scene with the cast all dressed in black.

Dylan got lots of attention in the studio and was very well behaved and nobody seemed to mind too much about the smell of one particular nappy change.

After three hours of working on one scene with the same track over and over again we got the draft choreography to three and a half minutes which I was quite pleased with. It's a start! Its only a month until tickets go on sale so I do feel the pressure to get more and more of this show made.

We finished the rehearsal with me promising to introduce a new scene next week just so that we can have some relief in listening to a new piece of music!
