La Vie Boheme Part 2

Today we contiued to collectivly choregraph La Vie Boheme, we started at the beging so we could decide on how we get to our seats. Bennie is already sat at a table in the restruant when we are all stopped as a group for the waiters line "Oh no, please not tonight" but everyone starts to walk to their seats after Roger goes "What", this happens to show that the group aren't bothered by the waiter and believe him to be having a joke with them. Mark and the waiter exchange a few lyrics to each other where the waiter is still trying to convince us not to stay but Mark (I) still believes he is joking. We are all standing our the table and take our seats on the lyric "The enemy of Avenue A will stay". Bennie comes over to us and starts his solo on how he is trying to clean up the streets, we're stopping him and the bohemia is dead. As i get up on the table to start Mark's eulogy we decided as a goup that Angel would lay down on the table pretending to be dead as he is a more flamboyant character who wouldn't care what peopel think so he would just lay down on the table. In the background the rest of the cast start to act out the nativty with Johanne (Freya) givning birth, Roger cradeling a crying baby and Collins mking barn yard noises until we reach La Vie Boheme where start the choreography from last lesson.

Continuing from where we got up to in our last lesson for La Vie Boheme, we talked and came up with the next couple of steps to follow for the last part of my solo. On the next "La Vie" everyone turns their head to me, then on the one after that they point to the left and slowly start to rise. On the last "La Vie" they all drop back to their seats except me while I sing "To any passing fade", I then proceed to get up on the table while the others start to rise again for the lyric "Instead of one of them". We all dance for a little bit the take our seats again which we decided was a good idea so that Maurine and Johanne could have their conversation without having any distractions. After maurine and johannes dialogue we decided we didn't want any group choreography now and instead wanted to freestyle what we do in our solo's or group singings until we reached Mark and Mimi's "Why Dorapht" lyric. After this we all starting at Dan S ends cross our legs in cannon down the line and then on a loud beat in the music we swap leg. Maurine and Johanne have a second conversation infront of us and then it goes into group singing. We discussed and decided that we would freestyle the last part of song until the end of La Vie Boheme.
