Rehearsals begin

Recently on
the project Nuskids passed internal auditions for the leading roles. That means
it’s time to go to the most challenging and important part of the project –rehearsals
of the future musical.

Traditionally,
introduction with new musical begins with readings of the script. This is the
time when children understand the motivation of the characters, the promise and
the main idea of the musical. At the first group reading of the script the
project participants trying themselves in different roles, and trying to
realize which one suits them more. Plus, the script is filled with all sorts of
fantasies and fictions of teenagers, so reading it was very fun and
interesting!

– Introduction to the script went great!
We tried ourselves in different roles. The director immediately offered me and
sister roles of two cloned girls. We hope that we will cope with this role!
 

– Script reading was a new format for us. The
hall was filled with tension, all the legs were shaking, and all because the
kids understand – the competition is big.

-We knew immediately that the director is very
experienced and smart man! He advised us that we listened to the script
readings of other guys, so we can better understand the character. After all
there are so many different and talented kids so everyone have a lot to learn!
During the reading we have learned some very important things, especially
listening to other project participants and the way they read certain roles and
pass them through.

-After overall reading of the script it has
become much clearer and easier. We didn’t even have any new questions! The
performance will be a very interesting and dynamic one. There are a lot of room
for our fantasies and imagination! We look forward to the rehearsals!

Scenario –
is the foundation and future of the musical and it is important that each of
the project participants realized the problems that it contains. It’s very
important that actor told the audience and made them think about these
problems.

As for now,
roles are distributed, everyone read and understood the script, and it’s time
to start rehearsing. Pavel Safonov, the project director, at the first
rehearsal gathered children, performing leading roles, because it is up to them
to keep the whole story. For the director it was very important to tell the
children about the nature of their characters, their relationships, their inner
world and experiences.

“I
really enjoy working with our director. I really like the way he thinks, it’s
very unusual. When I read the script, I imagined it quite differently. Not like
our director, but I think his vision is the right one. Today, we just sat down
at the table together with the guys and with Paul and tried to reveal our
characters. I think it will play into our hands, when we speak from the stage.
