Rent Day 6 - Will I + Life Support

Today we learnt and staged Will I and the Life support scene. We thought we would put Mimi in the life support scene as we don't have enough actors to play all the people in the scene so we replaced Sue with Mimi and tried it out to see if it still fits, which I think it did. We're also putting the life support scene off the stage and on the ground floor with the audience to get them closer and personal with the scene. We had also left a table in the "apartment" (the stage) for Tom (Roger) to sit on for this scene. We also ran through "Another Day" but quickly and didn't spend much time on it as to let Tom and Meg work on it together in more detail on their own, but it was sung well in my opinion. This led to "Will I" in which we staged it so there is no movement as to allow the vulnerability of the song to come through and also so we're not distracted while trying to sing in time. (something I struggled with) I think the simplicity of the staging works really nicely with the song and our next stage is just to learn the lyrics. Tom and Meg however need to set their song together, which I think they will do next lesson.
