REHEARSAL Day 5 - first cca meeting and blocking of daddy's little angel
17 September - Today was the first Schedule C CCA Day and I finally got to meet the backstage crew volunteers who are now called the YCIS Technical Team or Techies for short. Techies will be the students who will be trained to do all the technical requirements of theatre and also front of house activities. Thus, shows, concerts and performances will not rely on prefects anymore but the Techies team will cover the technical and logistical needs. The team's names and speciality assignments are listed under Technical Details. For the afternoon rehearsal, what was scheduled today was DADDY'S LITTLE ANGEL scene. Because Kitty (Flotsam) and Nikki (Ursula) informed me that they had an engagement that would not allow them to attend rehearsals, I was only expecting Mimi (Ursula) and Cissy (Jetsam) to attend. However, I spent most of the rehearsals focused only on doing Mimi's scenes as Cissy came in very late to rehearsals. It is extremely frustrating to block a scene when 1) too many actors are missing; 2) actors do not have an organized script that they are holding; 3) when actors do not know their scene. This was not a very productive day in the progress of rehearsals and this one will surely cause a ripple effect in the flow of things. :(
REHEARSAL DAY 4 - UNDER THE SEA DANCE SEQUENCE
15 September - UNDER THE SEA rehearsals today. This is the biggest musical number of the show and is indeed a major production number. Thus, all of the children will be in this number and also all of the Rep ensemble! This is a huge number and putting everybody on stage will be a tough challenge. However, I think I got it solved! :) Anyway, here is the rehearsal video of the dance section that needs to be memorized by all. Video courtesy of Clem Tse. Thanks also to all who took a video of the choreography!
Rehearsal day 2 - children's ensemble vocals and Sailors scenes
10 September - Today, Allison Lyso, the Children's Ensemble Director, worked with the children with their songs. Meanwhile, I also had the chance to work with the Sailors scene at B707. Allison was able to teach the kids UNDER THE SEA and covered more than half of KISS THE GIRL despite the fact that nearly half of the kids went to the auditorium (apparently many did not read the calendar because the venue was clearly stated in it!). At B707, Karan (Prince Eric) rehearsed with Mr. Hackman (Grimsby) before Mr. Tang (Pilot) and Eugenie (Ariel) came in. We were able to cover Scenes 1 and 5, even without Mavis (Scuttle) and Ken (Flounder). Since the sailors scene was blocked quite fast, I had time to measure some cast members and then go downstairs to A423 to measure the kids. It's going to get busy these next couple of weeks!
REHEARSAL DAY 1. STORY CONFERENCE
8 September - after months of planning and envisioning, here we are at Rehearsal Day 1 with our Story Conference and Production Orientation. With the scale model of the set design and the photo wall of the costume designs all wonderfully created by Faust Peneyra, we began our story conference by reading Act One and part of Act Two. We had to end early as it was Mid-Autumn Festival and almost everyone had dinner plans with their families on this special day. The rehearsal ended with a group photo, the first of many that will document this journey to production.
