Getting into the Groove
It 's day three and everyone is really getting into the groove. The Shake-it up crew (aka Team Shake) has been really impressed by the Lowell kids' energy, talent, and listening skills. Good job guys!
We started the day by getting the Lowell kids playing a game of rhythm monster, which helped us all to warm up by wiggling out fingers, waving our arms and moving like sprites and fairies. Next we played a game of the "Bunny Killer" - which allowed the kids to practice watching each others' facial expressions and respond to them by improvising their own "death." This let them do some acting and encouraged them to think about movement and action. The kids proved to be quite the actors, their death scenes were quite moving :) Our next activity was moving them into groups so they could work on reading lines and learning a few dance moves. We also talked a little bit about casting and got some input from the kids about the kinds of parts they're interested in and the kinds of behind-the-scenes work they might want to try their hand at. Once again the kids rose to the challenge and we're all really excited about working with such a talented bunch of musicians, dancers, singers, and artists. We ended the day with a Q&A session regarding the story of The Tempest. The kids did a great job remembering the who's who of the story. Everyone worked hard and had a good time!
Crew: Please remember to meet in the teacher lounge tomorrow. And keep in mind that we'll have the camera on hand tomorrow
Thanks everyone!
