Rehearsal Notes – January 19

ALL MONEY AND UNSOLD TICKETS MUST BE BROUGHT NEXT SUNDAY!!

Essential Homework:

1. Read over the entire script to really get a sense of the flow of the show.

2. Work on the music for From Ash You Rise (also, Claire will post blocking notes this week)

Pseudo Yoik Lite

We’ve picked up the tempo considerably, make sure to embody this in your rehearsal this week. Metronome: 160-165. No slowing down at the end! Also, be very aware of the changes in dynamics throughout the piece.

Earth

Note that the last full measure has been cut.

I himmelen

Please review your choreography for next week.

Epic Celine Dion walking!

Vowels, vowels, vowels!

Pakannen

The rope pulling will happen on a diagonal, from SW to NE

Transition into Revontulet – there will be a change in lighting and the dancers will come on.

Revontulet

Letter G – Look slightly towards the SW corner

Letter H – Begin raising arm veeeeerrrrrry slowly (Sops – right; Altos – left)

Letter I – Point to the dancers in the SW corner

Epilogue

As Kristin speaks, Nelle will begin to spread an A-flat around the choir. After Tenille’s last line (Loosen your hands and say goodbye), pick up your light, and move to mixed scattered for Lux Aeterna. Remember that Christina will be standing in the centre of the stage, so you will be able to see her while still facing the audience in some direction.
