Running Through 'Cinderella Act One And Act Two Without An Interval

Today we blocked Act One and Act Two of 'The Cinderella Pantomime'. This way, The Director was able to make final changes and adjustments to the scenes. Then, we were given time to rehearse the dances in The Dance Studio, which allows us to look at ourselves dancing in front of a mirror. I need to be careful of my foot placement, as they are often too far apart and I must apply the same amount of energy to every dance rehearsal, for the best results.

Later, we ran through Act One and Act Two of 'The Cinderella Pantomime', without an interval. I need to work on hitting my mark straight away in the opening number of The Panto. Now that I have a prop (a serving tray and some metal cups), I must adjust my reactions, so that I do not move so much, otherwise I may drop the cups. I also need to change the position of my hands, so that both are holding the tray. I was given feedback that I was 'doing good', so therefore it is important that I apply this amount of energy to every rehearsal and performance. I will also keep a smile on my face, virtually all the time (with the exception of reacting shocked/ puzzled), so that I appear to be a happy villager in Merrivale.
