Movement Rehearsal: The Kings

Candy was busy rehearsing for another show so the rest of the cast worked on movement for “The Kings” sequence. They practised walking like boys; what part of the body leads the walk, swaggering, hunching over, making a simultaneous ‘woof, woof’ bark, creating the idea of the group as animalistic, working as a collective. Mel’s clear, confident voice and her position; standing on the box, effectively suggests that she is in a position of power and can hold her own.
They rehearsed the scene when the Kings throw the pig’s head through the window. Jodie tried tossing one of the boxes to Naomi and Jacinta and then slamming the box down to suggest that they have smashed the window. Jodie then has to spin around in a circle, take off her Kings’ scarf and become Ricky again, which looks great and shows the smooth transition between the flashbacks and the scene itself.
