Rent Day 1 - Audition (opening scene) Day 2 - Audition (La Vie Boheme)

We start our audition process with the opening scene consisting of Mark and Roger in their loft doing their thing and constant disruption due to the phone. I went for the character Mark and felt I did it well. For the next audition we need to prepare something to show to the class I prepared Marks opening to La Vie Boheme, I rehearsed the vocals and I thought they we ok and I watched how other people have performed it to get an idea of what I want to do with it. The next day I got everyone to sit in a circle and said just go along with the song and have fun. So I performed the opening and had fun with it and everyone in the room and I thought it was a fun time that everyone could enjoy because it is that kind of song, friends having fun and showing their exciting lifestyle. After everyone performed what they prepared we started to set La Vie Boheme, we all sat behind a desk and faced the audience and we started with 8 simple poses to show after each "La Vie Boheme" we then created this basic idea of movement to go with the music. Once we all know our parts, I feel we can better create the piece. I didn't get the part of Mark I got Benny, although he wasn't the character I was going for, I like him. I understand where he is coming from in the situation of the musical and I feel I could play him well. Next rehearsal we will update La vie boheme incorporating our characters in the piece and finishing the song.
