Today was effectively our last rehearsal although we had an all-day tomorrow before the shows at 4.30 and 7.30. We went straight outside to rehearse scenes 2-5 with the songs and props. I think I still need to work on stronger projection, reason being is although I'm DS right infront of the audience, the speakers were about half a metre away. It was difficult because the speakers could not face centre stage because the microphones would cause a screeching sound. So, they face the audience which means as well as it being hard to hear the music, it was hard to be heard over the music. This was solved by lowering the volume on sections where people did not have microphones.
I found today useful as we finally got to rehearse more than once with all the set design out.
Grainne found an push toy for the chicken prop, which although needed to be painted and decorated to look like one, was an interesting idea as the scene where the chicken runs on stage can be pushed on by one of the year 13 extras.
