15th Jan - rach

Today was another day of rehearsals and we ran through Act 1 and 2 on cast.

1. Finale A: We needed more variation in levels spacing for the section where Mimi is lying on the bean couch CS. So we used an excersise where if there are 2 or more people on one level, you do the opposite. So, if some of us are kneeling beside Mimi, others would stand up or be in in between this height. Some of us would also be walking round slowly while others are stationary. This gave the scene more motion before everything comes to a halt as Roger sings 'Your Eyes'. For this song, all our characters are going to step away from Mimi for Roger to have his moment and fully dedicate his song to her and highlight their special bond.

• La Vie Boheme B: I needed to go over my verse at the beginning, as I was finding it difficult on what part to start my line, as therer is short dialogue between me and Maureen just before it.
• We're Okay & Take Me Or Leave Me: I feel really comfortable with these songs that I once thought I'd never feel comortable, particularly Take Me Or Leave Me. As my self-confidence has grown, so has my ability to be more free with my voice and not doubt it so much as I prefer staying in my comfort zone, which won't ever improve my vocals unless I push myself and be encouraged by my peers.
