My Character in chicago

The character i tried to portray throughout the chicago performance was influenced by Bob Fosse's original characters. In my audition i took on the role of Velma Kelly a very powerful and bold character. I tried to maintain a similar role in the performance of chicago as the two pieces i was in "all that jazz" and "cell block tango" both involve Velma Kelly in the original work. In the singing and acting pieces i did throughout the performance i stayed within my character which was very strong and bold similar to Velma Kelly. I do feel that giving myself a character to portray, helped me to stay focused and use good body language and facial expression to fit in with the piece. As i was focused i was able to interact with others well, for example in "Cell block tango" i used a male partner to dance around and interact with whilst saying my acting piece. I feel my role was very strong and consistant throughout the performance. Although i was influenced by the character Velma Kelly i didnt try to be her and copy it completely.
