Today we set Christmas bells are ringing, all it we did was, from the end positions of Rent everyone not needed for the next scene (Dom, Dan, Freya, Toby, Lorna and I) move to a clump at the front of the stage in the centre. We need to be there for "somewhere else, not here" so we can deliver that line. We put them in a clump so they are more like a group of carolers singing in the snow, which they should be. However I prefer my suggestion of having everyone get into lines and cross each other to make one long line across the front of the stage so we can individually show our bright happy faces during "Christmas bells are ringing" and then drop to a pissed off face for "somewhere else, not here". I just feel it looks better to use the whole length of the stage rather than a clump in the middle.
We also started to look at Santa Fey. We had Meg choreograph a simple movement piece for everyone to do behind Toby and Dan as they sing and next lesson we will do the rest of the song. I really like the simplicity of the opening and how it sets up the dance routine.
