Slight ramble to start with but I will get to the point eventually ...
I'm just listening to a radio programme where the interviewer and Ian Broudie of "Three Lions" footy anthem band The Lightning Seeds are talking about the old vinyl LP format vs. the CD format, and how the order of the tracks is structured differently for the two media formats.
In the old days you'd get to the end of the first side of the album, flip it over and start the next. Or not. So they'd start and end each side with a "starter" and a "finisher" or however you'd say it (he's singing now so I can't remember exactly how they put it, but hopefully you get the jist (gist?) of it).
So if we are doing a one-set-show, the structure would probably be different than if we were doing a two-set show, or even a three-set show (I've never done one, but I have no idea of the different structures out there in different places).
What kind of shows do you do, and how do you structure them? Where's the big dramatic bit and where's the soft, flowy bit? Don't give away any trade secrets but do you have a "journey" that you take the audience on, and how does it change for different types of shows? EG the GP vs. people who are interested in and appreciate the dance? Lotsa questions there, typical ramble!
Another question even - if you are producing a show and have a lot of different dancers on, how do you structure that? And what changes if there is an interval?
