In this lesson we first looked at finishing La Vie Boheme A and how it transitions into part B. We added in the speeches that are said at the end of part A and choreographed how they would fit into the whole piece, we made it so that the rest of the 'congregation' were just gathered around the table and not dancing or doing anything too crazy that would detract from what was being said. Then we worked on the transition from Part A into I Should Tell You which involves Roger (me) going off to one side of the stage and singing with Mimi while the rest of the characters freeze, we originally had them miming actions of partying but I thought it detracted from what was going on and we eventually changed it.
We did not work on I Should Tell You in this lesson as we have already worked extensively on it but the class then looked at the next section after Roger and Mimi leave the stage and La Vie Boheme B begins. Though I am not in this scene I watched and tried to help give ideas to Kat and help the creative process. I suggested that during a part when they sing about all being different and singing "To you and you and you..." that they face the audience singing at them and pointing at random people in the audience, including them in the 'party' and upping the mood of the scene and idea that we tried out and liked. Over all we choreographed a new scene, working out how all the transitions would work and added new creative ideas to Rent and the La Vie Boheme sequence.
