Working on 'Without You'



This is a video of the number "Without You" that is sung as a duet between Roger and Mimi. The song is about the struggle between the two characters where being with each other is obviously not working out but at the same time they realise that they simply cannot be without each other. When thinking of ways to set this number, we found that various partner work of contemporary dance - fitting with the genre of music - would perfectly fit this overall them of love, struggle and devotion. Meg and I choreographed a piece that strongly represents Roger and Mimi's desire for eachother but their struggle of being together through movements and motifs.
The one thing I found difficult with this task was being able to still sing the song while performing this dance duet as some of the sections of the number are quite vocally demanding.
