Ahh... the rush of anxiety and excitement of runthroughs. Not only do I get to perform the dances I've learned and practiced on a stage--but this time around, I also get to lead a scene through the dances on a stage.
Each scene only gets 30 minutes on stage and with that small amount of time, we wanted to accomplish a lot:
Firstly, we wanted to see how well everyone knew the choreography. We split up everyone into groups, so everyone has a chance to be in the front and we can record them and review 'em later. From our recordings, we can see which parts we may need to clarify in future practices and which parts are solid.
Secondly, we get to try out little things now that we have a stage. One thing I wanted to try out was a little gimmick with the first line and second line doing opposite things, and see if that composition works well. For example, one line going up while the other goes down. Another is to try out line switches and how smoothly they can run.
Lastly, we get to see our models do they thang! Even though it's not the real show, we do take it seriously. The time we get to practice on a stage is really precious. Runthroughs is like 5% of the show but getting that small glimpse of what the models can do really makes a coord proud of everything everyone's accomplished.
