Wednesday of Week 2

Another fun and busy day at the Shake it Up program!

We started off with our warm ups.... Then paused for a snack....
The nymphs and goddesses were especially interested in what was going on in the costume department....

We changed up the way we'd been playing our "Bunny Killer" game--resulting in a lot more deaths (and chances to practice dramatic facial expression and body movement)...



Then it was time to divide up into groups and practice lines. The BSU mentor to Lowell student ratio is about 3-1, so you can be assured the kids are getting all the individual attention they'll need to get a good understanding of their part...



Those with only a few lines practiced their movement. Here are some mariners demonstrating what rowing a boat and then crashing in it would look like....



To wrap up the day, each group put on a mini-performance of what they'd learned that day...




The audience agreed that all our actors are making real progress!...




***The kids have been challenged today to START MEMORIZING THEIR LINES!*** The sooner they start, the better chance they'll have of having them down by our first performance. See you all tomorrow!
