La Vie Boheme Introduction

20/10/15

In today's lesson we were introduced to the song 'La Vie Boheme'. We listened to the first few minutes of the song to start with as it's such a long song. And then from there, we decided on how we were going to set the song. As it's based in the "Live Cafe" we thought there should be a really long table that can seat us all. From there we spoke about what kind of movement that we wanted to do. So someone then suggested that we try freeze frames as our characters to the beat. So we tried it and then we found out that we had too many frames so we have cut it down to 5 frames and then on the fifth frame we go into the part. The class then started to discuss about what they had seen in the Broadway version and it was all choreographed to a dance that is all sat down on a chair. So being inspired by this, we decided to do our own version of this sitting down dance but we have kept some of the movements (eg: the point).
