Thursday last week was mufti day. This made it a lot easier to move around and add costume pieces to something that isn't the boring school uniform. Unless you're Nathan and wear suits to school on mufti day. This is your cue to facepalm and/or laugh.
Circle of Life practice complete with three buzzards and a brilliant shadow of Miss Richardson creeping onto the stage. I don't even know...
Daniel as Mufasa and Meagan as Simba: Speaking from experience, it's very empowering standing on those blocks, acting as king.
Nadia, or should I say, Scar and her pack of hyena's, planning to kill off Daniel, a.k.a Mufasa. Something Mrs Clark mentions in this scene, a lot, is projection. Also known as voice projection, projection in Drama is, in the words of Wikipedia, the strength of speaking or singing whereby the voice is used loudly and clearly. It is a technique employed to command respect and attention, as when a teacher talks to a class, or simply to be heard clearly, as used by an actor in a theatre. On another note...
Speaking of Nadia, as Mufasa's understudy I've been practising my scenes during Monday and Thursday with her and the other actors in the play. Can I just say how hard it is to keep a straight face when she gets close to you? Maybe it's just me but it's very intimidating, which I guess is a good thing, considering her role as Scar
In a similar style to the Circle of Life choreography, is the Finale, also known as Circle of Life Reprise, also also known as King Of Priderock. This scene, if you don't know, Simba has just defeated Scar and is now being presented as the king. This scene is a lot less formal compared to the first one!
Why.. Why is Zach just sitting in front.
As I've mentioned in the title, we've got to practise, a lot. Really, this is all we'll be doing this week.
