La Vie Boheme - Rent @ AIM

The Australian Institute of Music's Music Theatre department musical for 2013 was Rent, here we have La Vie Boheme. Check out other videos from the show right here on AIMtvStage.

The Music Theatre department of AIM are thrilled to be producing this wonderful musical at AIM, with an outstanding array of cast and crew to engage audiences in the wonderful world of Theatre with Music.

"Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, RENT has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages.

Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's RENT follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this ground-breaking musical.

This is theatre at its best -- exuberant, passionate, and joyous". - MTI Music Theatre International

Music Theatre @ AIM

The Music Theatre course at AIM is committed to developing an understanding of the broader arena of music theatre. Students are skilled in the four disciplines of singing, dancing, acting and creating, making students what AIM calls in this business - The Quadruple Threat! Music Theatre students develop the ear of a musician, the body awareness of a dancer, the imagination of an actor, the vision of a director and the fortitude of a producer. The singer will come to embrace the music culture at AIM, whilst the dancer and the actor find their singing voice.

"Seasons of Love" is a song from the Broadway musical Rent, written and composed by Jonathan Larson. The song starts with an ostinato piano motif, which provides the harmonic framework for the cast to sing "Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes" (the number of minutes in a non-leap Gregorian calendar year). The main instruments used throughout the song are piano, vocals, guitar, organ, bass and drums.

The song is performed by the entire cast in the musical and in the 2005 film of the same name. The lyrics ask what the proper way is to quantify the value of a year in human life, concluding in the chorus that the most effective means is to "measure in love". Since four of the lead characters of Rent have HIV or AIDS, the song is often associated with World AIDS Day and AIDS awareness.
