In this lesson we ran through the Wiz scene and Emerald City section as well as act 2 up to Y'all Got It, as well as blocking the final scene.
In this rehearsal Jess was Dorothy so I did mainly off cast sections, however I found this really helpful as I hadn't had an opportunity to just do my off cast sections therefore I could learn the order much better so I knew what I was doing. I got to understand the Ozians more through doing this and I felt I could perform it a lot better. I decided as an Ozian to make everything I did ten times bigger and over the top to give them more personality, when the character itself is part of a group where no one really has personality because they're all so similar. I think if our characters weren't as dramatic The Wiz characters wouldn't have much of an effect to the audience as it does with the Ozians atmosphere and dynamics.
Now we are starting to input more of the chorus parts its adding more depth to the show making it more powerful and makes the show more fluid. I think once we have all the chorus members it will be really compelling to the show and give us main cast more of a boost of energy and help us really kick into it.
In this lesson I think that my strengths were energy and focus, I need to improve my knowledge of the chorus choreography so that I can then contribute more to it which was my second target for myself, I will achieve these by getting with a main chorus person and learning the numbers and scenes in which I am involved in that have been done and then help with the others, I will do this within the next fortnight by rehearsing at lunch times.
