The Boards, Wednesday Evening [Rehearsal]

Nov 23, 2011 11:24

Troy was... perhaps a little bouncy today, yes, upon arriving at the Boards -- which he really needed to get around to moving into, now that the renovations were finished. But that could wait ( Read more... )

That is rather what we do.

Birthday Miley was even bouncier than usual today. She had her party as soon as rehearsal was over because I modded time! and until then, she got to meet people! And sing! This was very exciting!

Raven was not bouncy. Raven was feeling rather distressed, particularly after the Reserve meeting, but she hoped this would be a good distraction before she visited Azarath.

Tara wasn't exactly in the most mingly mood of all time, but she couldn't let people down by skipping out. She got some cocoa and sat off to the sides.

Warm-Up! oncourtandstage November 23 2011, 15:35:03 UTC

"Okay, everyone," Troy said, after they'd all arrived. "Let's get into a circle -- we're going to start off with introductions. I know, I know, most of you guys probably know each other already, but you're going to be working pretty closely together over the next few weeks.

"So what we're going to do is give your name and something you like that starts with the first letter of your name. But it's not that simple! 'Cause you're going to have to find some way to act out what you like. Like, I'm Troy, and I like..." He hesitated a moment -- he really should decided on this ahead of time, although that did feel like cheating -- before stepping in and swinging an imaginary racket. "Tennis! Okay, now you go," he finished, pointing to the person to his left.

Which was Jono. Who had coffee in one hand, but... hey, that wasn't going to stop him from participating, damn it.

"I'm your musical director, Jonothon, but you can call me Jono," he stated, and then made a face and proceeded to air-guitar with his coffee. Shut up. "And I like... jamming, obviously. Next."

Re: Warm-Up! its_theclimb November 23 2011, 16:14:54 UTC

Oooh, icebreakers. Fun!

"Hi, I'm Miley," Miley chirped. "And I like... music!"

You know. The bubblegum pop kind. Or was that not the kind of music you guys were thinking of?

Re: Warm-Up! oncourtandstage November 23 2011, 16:18:21 UTC

"What's your action?" Troy asked. "C'mon, you've gotta have an action for it!"

After the warm-up, Troy pointed to the table. "Okay, everyone grab a notebook and a pencil," he said. "What we're going to do today is get started on figuring out what we're actually going to be doing in the show itself. I know that some of you already have some idea -- but we're going to sit down and start working on developing some things. Do you want to do one song? Two? Write your own monologue or find one of someone else's?

"Do you have any suggestions for things that should be in the show, too, that maybe you don't want to, or don't feel up to, doing yourself? Feel free to suggest things for your cast-mates -- this is going to be a collaboration ( ... )

Re: Rehearsal! its_theclimb November 23 2011, 16:19:07 UTC

"I could do a duet with someone!" Miley offered.

Oh, god. That poor someone. They never had a chance.

"Ooh, or we could do some kind of dance number," she suggested. "Jono says if no one else does, he's gonna have to step in."

Just enjoy that visual, everyone.

Re: Rehearsal! apocalipped November 23 2011, 16:23:50 UTC

"Please, somebody, dance with Miley," Jono chimed in, helpfully. "You do not want to see me dance. Who'll watch the sound booth during the show?"

He could come up with a million reasons why this was a bad idea.

Most were not legit.

Re: Rehearsal! oncourtandstage November 23 2011, 23:46:08 UTC

Troy stared at them. "Uh, of course Jono can't dance with you during the show. We don't have anyone else for the sound booth. I sure as hell can't run it."

Talk to the Directors! oncourtandstage November 23 2011, 15:53:00 UTC

When they make with the pinging!

Re: Talk to the Directors! oncourtandstage November 23 2011, 15:54:58 UTC

Troy had a glass of water and his own notebook in front of him, madly scribbling down everything that was being said -- at least as much as he could keep track, which at times was more difficult.

But he'd be happy to step aside if anyone needed to speak to him privately!

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped November 23 2011, 16:05:23 UTC

Jono had... all the coffee. All of it. And he needed more coffee, so help him.

He'd been up all night trying to place calls back home. Trying to figure out which way was up, and all he'd gotten was bad news. Bad news, and worse news, and by the time he'd hung up, he had been... just too tired to sleep.

So, coffee, today.

I am around all day, and I think apocalipped is as well! Seriously, yo, having fun is the name of the game here.

Re: OOC apocalipped November 23 2011, 15:56:38 UTC

SNOW DAAAAY.

Though I realize that it's the day before that silly holiday that we Canadians get out of the way before the dead of winter- Slowplay, if need be, is totally cool with me.
