Week Eight

18.09.08

This session adopted a similar flow to the previous night's session; we ran through each segment and made minor adjustments where necessary.

I don't really have much to say about the day as a whole, suffice to say that we all worked well, however seeming that this is MY journal: I'll focus on the bits which involved me!

In contrast with last night's awkward rendition of the 'Elvis' song, the number found its feet during this rehearsal and I was eager to develop it and invent some cute choreography in accompaniment. Anna B replaced Brian, and I must say that I was a million times more comfortable with her substitution than with Brian's breast-squeezing antics. Apparently Dylan looked very uncomfortable dancing in this segment, I don't know if he's not confident with dancing or with the scenario but I'm sure he'll work it out.

The Piaf segment was polished a little more due to a conversation between Emma and I the previous evening. She told me that it didn't make sense that Edith would just pull out a crane and then that is that and I concurred, so we scripted the line "STOP!" as a punctuation.
An interesting side note, near the end of Edith Piaf's song "L'accordéoniste" she sings "Arrêtez!" ("stop"). SPOOKY!
