By the way, I'm playing Anytime Annie! *Chelle*

Ohh! Kim walks in all nice and ready...

She does the warm up

ok now i want you to break up in to the groups you will be working in alot theougout this rehersal so all chorus together all principles together then break up again into groupes like dorothy and billy and the peggy and billy and peggy and the girls....

it should look somsthine like this when your finished

eg.

Peggy
Billy
Dorothy

peggy
phillis
annie
etc...

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused. Break into groups based on what? Just any random groups? what are we doing in these groups? do you want opne person to put everyone into a group? I'm playing Peggy, is there a certain group of people I should be in? I'm sorry, I guess I'm slow this afternoon.

Nah you're not slow Kelly, I'm confusd too, what do we do in the groups?

Nicola - Dorothy

Karen joins in, dressed in a black leo and 3/4 leg dance pants. She's lugging a big back full of shoes.

"I just wanted to be ready for whatever we're doing "

She stretches lightly, then goes through the warm-ups

"Wow! Those are great! I feel nice and loose now."

~K

ok i musnt have explained it right i want you to get into groups of people who you will be working with the most durning this show!! is that clear??

ok to make is easier can we have the danicng principles to one side the chorus to another side and the non dancing principles to the other side!

Um, ok, *Nicola moves to the dancing principles side, hoping she is in the right place.... she waits for others to move to their spots*

Nicola

Heather moves to the dancing principles side! Lorraine is more secondary, but she's definitly not in the chorus, so I came here! Nicola, your character doesn't dance so you should be on the non-dancing principles side!

Kelly joins the dancing principals as Peggy. *Thanks for clearing that up Pia!

i'm not sure if i'm a principle dancer or not. i'm playing Anytime Annie. so i'm just kinda stuck in the middle right now

*Chelle*

Oh, right, sorry, I'm thinking of my part in a different production, sorry! I'm such a messcake today!
*Nicola shuffles over to the other side, a little embarrassed, lol*

sorry i haven't been here in so long, i didn't realize that rehersals re-started!

That is alright!

now if the non dancing principles would go in the corner over there where i have set up the chairs you can start a line run!

(OCC: I know we don't have a script so just improvise make up lines if you have to)

now the dancer principle and chrous we are all going to work on the start scene so please get your tap shoes on and meet me on the dance floor!

Hi!

I'm playing Ethel, not quite principle, but not quite chorus...unless it is chorus...but in any case, I'm pretty sure I'm dancing....

Hweishien grabs her tap shoes and heads for the dance floor....

~KC

Ok can we have a run through of the opening could comeone please demonstrate and then other follow ....

Nicola and the other non-dancing principles go over to the corner and make up some lines*
