| Description: | An audition: group of several women stand on stage, a man quickly looks them over one by one, and 2 others sit at table making notes; scenery flats leaning against the wall in BG. Comic bit w / the character actress. LS young woman dancing, doing very high kicks, then drops into splits & sort of rotates herself on the floor; pianist accompanies and 3 big shots watch. MCU man watching. LS another dancer shows her stuff - more kicks, then some acrobatics. MLS a 3rd dancer twirling; other dancers wait in BG. LS the character actress comes onstage and does a silly dance. Dance Producer teaches the girls choreography for a dance performed while sitting on stools in a row. MLS the girls performing leg movements in unison. Dance teacher stops them & arranges legs. MLS girls moving legs back and forth. LS girls continue to rehearse the fast dance steps; this part includes standing up & pivoting then sitting again. LS girls performing the same dance, but now they are wearing identical costumes and blonde wigs. MLS diag. shot same. Back to LS from straight in front, then in closer again. Cute. | |
