Today we spent the lesson doing the song 'Goodbye Love' which is everyone except from Angel as it is his funeral. We start coming out of the church and then it goes into the song. It is pretty simple with no dancing but with simple movement to highlight whoever is singing at the time. Half way through the song we all leave except from Roger and Mark who have a heated discussion which Mimi comes back to hear the end of. Mimi then sings to Roger basically saying goodbye forever because she doesn't want him to see her die, so we have kept this quite static with only a small bit of contact between Mimi and Roger to keep it as naturalistic as possible as it will hopefully affect the audience more this way. Then Roger leaves and Mimi sings out as if to Roger, accepts help from Benny and then leaves by herself. I think this song will be good once everyone knows there lines and is familiar with it as it is quite a wordy and rhythmical song so quite difficult so sing when you do not really know it.
