In todays lesson we finished blocking Act 1 so by next Tuesday we should all be off script for the opening act.
Choreography:
Today we learnt the choreography to Mooning. All the Greasers are on stage at this point (except Sandy) so in some ways it's very similar to Those Magic Changes. To start with, the guys and the girls are facing opposite each other in separate lines swaying to and fro clicking our fingers. We came up with a really cool routine and here is a video of it:
We also went through the Greased Lightening routine but we were told that Sam will be choreographing the piece and unfortunately we didn't have a lesson with her on this particularly day (The same applies to We Go Together).
Character Development:
Today I learnt that my character Doody is desperate to ask out Frenchie but doesn't have the courage. This is shown when he asks Frenchie whether she can still go to the ball; she says that she can and then he 'bottles it' and says 'oh...nothin'. I believe that today's lesson showed me just how much Doody likes Frenchie- he just doesn't have the courage that Danny and Kenickie have and could be classed as a 'hopeless romantic'. Doody is the one that tries to look cool in front of his guy friends (the T-Birds) and tries to crack as many jokes as possible- a lot which are sarcastic. For example he says 'jeez nice couple' when Rizzo and Kenickie are having a big argument.
