DAY TEN AT NUCKIDS WAS IN RAP STYLE

22.07.2011

First off, rap is quite in vogue, Secondly, it’s nature’s own dialogue: When teens start spitting those rap phrases, They’re headed for fame on the theater’s stages! Rap, as the main element of hip-hop culture, has firmly entered the life of young people, so among the Nuclear Kids there are also talented performers in this style. And it is a great luck for the future musical, where one romantic Romeo confesses his love only by recitatives. We must pay tribute to the fact that the character is not just Romeo, but “atomic” JRomeo, and he speaks in rap style not only about love, but about everything! This unusual character was the artistic and plastic Sasha from Novosibirsk, a real Hero of Our Time. However, it turned out that there is a huge gap between reading rap in the neighborhood and recording in the studio. “I’ve never recorded before!” admits Sasha. – OMG, it’s so hard!”. The young rapper under David Todua guidance had to master the rhythm of the composition, catch and memorize it and only then add the emotions to it. I know. Everyone’s in the know. This place is a bunker, where whispers go. If you tell one soul, get ready, my friend, Cause you’ve basically shouted it out in the end! This rhyme was really difficult for Sasha! After all, it is so hard to keep everything in your head: the sense of melody, words and intonation… It is also good to remember about articulation! After all, these “tricky” endings are so easy to slur, rap does not forgive such mistakes. Nevertheless, with each take, Sasha was getting more and more into the role of JRomeo – a rap star among teenagers. And, in the end, he made the composition a real hit! “Rock it, Yeah!” He says with the confidence of a cool rapper.

What was going on in the other rehearsal spaces? One could say that it was also a kind of rap: rhythmic, sharp, driving work. Dmitry Bikbaev and Tatiana Solntseva taught glamor to the girls from Sosnovy Bor, performing the roles of beauties, so-called Chicks, while Gulnara Golovinskaya achieved expressiveness in two characters, twins in spirit Chio and San, whose roles went to Andrei and Stas from Angarsk. Maxim Nedolechko boosted dance energy in the Mirror Hall. The “atomic” life was going on in full swing… There are 21 days left till the premiere of the musical…
