Behind the Scenes in Week 8! As we near the end of Term 1, we have reached the end of blocking and choreographing Act 1. After an intensive rehearsal on Saturday, the cast now have scripts down and are really focusing on character building. The end of Act 1 sees the disappearance of Edmund as the four Pevensie childen go with Mr and Mrs Beaver to meet Aslan. The Beaver/Animal chorus number 'Cair Paravel' is a beautiful end to the first act and Nathan, Laura and the Animal Chorus have been working particularly hard on this number under the guidance of Miss Reynolds. Miss Kendrick has also been busy with her dance numbers, also working on 'Cair Paravel' whilst polishing Turkish Delight. The students are beginning to bring much more expression into their characters now and we can now begin to see how these characters will interact on stage which is exciting!
Costumes have also made a big leap forward this week with the costume for nearly every character sourced and ready for dress rehearsals next term! Our new D&T workshop is also being turned into a Narnia 'prop shop' with Mrs Wilson working tirelessly with her Senior students creating some awesome set pieces. We also have Ryan from Getting Technical coming in on Friday to work with Mr McRae on creating the look and feel of Narnia with staging and lighting planning. Narnia is starting to take shape!!
