Rehearsal Process

Rehearsals for 'Hamelin' were very interesting, but also difficult and intense.

It was difficult, because there was only five or six of us, from theatre strand, in the community project for 'Ashcroft' and we had to rehearse dancing, and singing, as well as acting, which we weren't used to at all, so it was interesting learning new skills and rehearsal techniques.

We also split off in rehearsal, the actors, dancers and singers, and then came back at the end of the rehearsal and showed the rest of our cast what we had done. Then we had to show and teach them what we'd rehearsed.

It was also really interesting and fascinating being part of the rehearsal process of 'Hamelin' because we got to work with so many talented people, and got to meet some really amazing people from other strands which inspired me so much, and we made such a close knit friendship with our cast, it was lovely.
