Rehearsal on bridge

So we managed to do our first run- sans music- and the piece looks gorgeous!
(Thanks~ Shaun, Theresa, Jen M, Bridget, Patrick, Izumi and Julie)

bright red really pops and looks beautiful

Emerging from different areas at the start, towards the pagoda, then lining up works well.
We played around the stone bridge- we can focus more on this and define it a bit

Then the slow procession with sticks on head really works nicely. Deviation dancers are fun.

At the tree, Tree can do the wishes, and people can help her as needed, but get the action dancing on the bridge before too long.

Izumi will be washing clothes.

The streamers look lovely. Jen M can be the person who 'lets them go' since she seemed to travel the farthest down the bridge

We are giving Bears most of the fishing bucket and playing with water task on the bridge.

Try to maintain the centre of the bridge when dancing- not so much on the borders or rails. Keep depth distance between each other.

CUE TO END:
At 35-40 minutes, Michelle passes under bridge, cuing Izumi to pack up and go to bridge.
When Izumi appears on bridge, dancers 'run' to meet her. Shoulder to shoulder line with all like the beginning. Wait for all to arrive. bow South. Bow North. end

Next time we need to work out the preset and who carries what- try to handle your own props and set as much as you can.
Thanks again!
