We commenced this week by rummaging through a huge pile of costumes and tried to allocate them into the various segments which they might suit. I had a good time making people try on the 80s styled gowns and taking candid snaps and we did find a few little numbers which we could utilise.
We ran through each section of our performance, but we were slightly impeded by the large number of absentees. Brian and Deb were missing from 'Brian's Song' which threw us off slightly, but we generally managed rather well.
It soon came to rehearse Spiros' ode to Elvis, and once again Anna B had to fill in for Brian which in my opinion is a more suitable substitution. I mentioned in my previous blog entry that I didn't think that Brian was effectively used in that segment and I still stand by that assessment. Myf mentioned that she'll try to "tone his moves down" but I don't think her efforts will be successful. In my opinion, Anna B is more suited to the scene.
For the Piaf section, Myf gave me an outfit to wear that resembled what one would find if Adam Ant released an inexpensive costume line at Spotlight... I decided to find another costume for this scene. Otherwise, the scene work fine through this rehearsal and I think that Sam's sound-scape was effective.
