Our First Day!
Today the cast and crew of the Shake It Up After School production of The Tempest met for the first time in the gym of Lowell Elementary school. It was quite an adventure. We started off with the name game... which challenged both our creativity and our memory. The Lowell kids stepped up to the challenge and came up with some kooky crazy combinations. Next we learned the story of The Tempest by acting it out. We made a big storm, wrecked a ship into an island, met a magician, his daughter, a monster, a sprite and a host of other characters. Then we played a rhythm game that got us all tapping, clapping, and stomping... we made marvelous sweet music. Finally we ended the day with a exercise in volume.. and the kids blew us away. Tomorrow we'll continue working on getting to know each other and becoming more familiar with the story of The Tempest.

It was pretty raucous in there. I couldn't tell who was better behaved--the Loweell kids or the college folk.
