A big week at BB&Me headquarters! The young people have just completed the first week of rehearsal intensives that will determine the casting for the final production.
This week they had the opportunity to put some of their drama skills to use when they were asked to develop mime sequences using some of the characters. Strong performances were given and some funny moments were experienced as the group felt their way through the material and used their creative brains to develop their ideas.
Next week they will be joined by Birmingham Royal Ballet dancers who have been appointed as choreograpahers for the project and together they will trial and explore sections of the newly created ballet.
So what are the Artistic Director and Director of Choreography looking for in a perfect BB&Me participant?? Someone who:
Gives it a go
Listens
Works well with others
Gives ideas
Well done to all for a week of hard work and focus!

Fantastic workshops last week, everyone really stepped up a gear and gave everything a go! Participants shone with skills that we haven’t seen so far in the project, giving new ideas and helping to build/ develop some of the characters and storyline. The ideas, creativity and support for one another is wonderful to see – very excited about this week and for the start of the weekly rehearsals. Well done everyone!
