Week 3 - Tuesday

After the Bank Holiday Monday off, we're back to the grindstone. Bits and bobs of music and dancing in the morning, including the setting of the Flanagan and Allen song, which hopefully should be quite charming. The moves are simple and economical, which I think is sometimes harder to carry off well than complex choreography. You can't hide behind the steps - each one has to be executed with precision, and hopefully a little style and grace.

Much of the afternoon and evening was spent going through the play, looking at scene changes and finding ways of making sure that instruments are where they need to be for each song. It's slow work, but with a piece like this, all of that mechanical, technical stuff really needs to be done before you can start running scenes together.
