Role  - 
The chorus ( the 22 )

Purpose of the role -

 "The purpose of a chorus is to help the actors role become more emphasized throughout the play. The chorus has a few actions here and there and sometimes they have a dance at some stages."http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_purpose_of_the_chorus_in_the_drama#ixzz1vavWyuEo

A chorus came from greek theatre, The chorus was a central feature of Greek drama. The chorus was composed of similarly costumed men on the dancing floor ("orchestra"), located beneath the stage. The chorus was in the orchestra for the duration of the performance to observe and comment on the action of the actors.

 - A chorus of a theatre production

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths -

• We fount the song easy to do as we already knew most of the words
• It was a good song to do as we both got a chance to sing on our own and together
• We were able to put some choreography with the song
• The chorus was easy to pick up

Weaknesses -

• It was hard to remember all the words and to know when you were meant to come in as they were short lines with only a few words.
• Fount it hard to take seriously some times as its such a cheesy song
• we had to look at the lyrics alot when rehearsing

Getting to grips with the song

In the song I was troy and Amy was Gabriella - we learnt the song together as it was easier to see where to come in on each section as they were short lines.


Relationship for the movement


We decided not to put to much movement in out audition as we could lose focus and forget the words easily so we look at the relationship troy and Gabriella have in the film just to get some key movements we could use.
 - Here they are very close together and Gabriella looks timied
 - Always near each other on stage , here facing each other

Finally picked a song

We looked over all the songs and fount a perfect song for us to do, Breaking Free from high school musical

Rehearsing for my audition

When we were told we was going to be doing a song, either as a solo or duet i knew i wanted to do it was a duet as I didn't think i would ever have the confidence to do a solo.

Me and amy decided to do a song which had two different parts to sing such as a girl and boy or two different charaters from a film/ musical

Research ...

we tried thinking of different musicals there were and fount this,
