MY SUMMER SHOWCASE PERFORMANCE REHEARSAL PROCESS. 


For my summer showcase performance I will be performing 'Burn' from the musical Hamilton. I chose this song as I felt as if I could give a confident performance of this song. 
I have been rehearsing this song for a couple of weeks, and these rehearsals are going well. Within my rehearsals I need to concentrate on my staging as well as singing the song, using the staging and movement throughout the rehearsal will enhance the performance and also ensure I know what I am doing while singing the song. Throughout my rehearsals I haven't had access to large amounts of space, however, I have thought briefly about how I will be staging the performance. At the moment I have decided that I will have a chair on the stage, now and again I will be sitting and standing up, I would also like to use the stage as much as possible. 

Before the summer showcase, I will need to organise a costume, in Hamilton, Eliza wear a baby blue polka dot maxi dress, she also wear her hair up in a low bun, in order to look the part I will need to find a dress similar and have my hair up also.

I have thought about modulating the key of the song I sing it in due to the ending being high, the original song is in B Minor, I was thinking about taking it down one key to A Minor, If I was going to do this I would need a pianist as there aren't any instrumental's in this key. However, it would be better if I was to sing in the original key which is what I will probably do, I just need to go over the ending a few times to make sure I am able to reach the notes successfully and confidently.

Overall, my rehearsal's have gone successfully so far, hopefully, it will follow with a successful performance.
