Independent Development and Characterisation of 'Air'
The three of us were really excited to have a song to ourselves. Before this rehearsal we watched videos of how other people who have performed this song in a musical played this.
The song was very easy to learn, lyrically, because it was only a small section of the original - just like a nursery rhyme. With that being said it gave us a chance to incorporate our own harmonies and movement and characters. Evidently this song is the introduction to our scene and our characters, so it gives the audience some insight on the type of girls we are. The lyrics are very sarcastic so the way we perform it is very confident because we are very attention seeking girls however the underlying more serious problem is the fact that we are singing about how the war is effecting us. Further on in the rehearsal process some feedback was that as a group we do need to project and articulate our words even more because we won't have any mics so we will need to vocally project. Our movement was also changed by our choreographer so that we could implement the gas masks we would be using during the song.
