First, an interview with Phoebe H. in 6th grade! Phoebe is a choreographer.
She says her job is not the most exciting but still fun. Right now the group is mostly watching rehearsals and taking notes about what they need to work with actors on. The choreography part was REALLY fun. Now that the cast knows their dances fairly well, there isn't as much to do. To get inspiration for the dances, they listened to the music.
Today, at 9:30, the two-year-olds came to watch the blue cast preform the opening number. They are really tiny and cute. They seemed to like it, and some of them clapped. Since they have a puny attention span, they talked a little, but it pretty much captivated them until the end. And Ms. Wilson said that a two year old asked her if they could come back again! :)
From a rehearsal with the red cast this afternoon, I got these thoughts:
I really like how the different casts make the play so different for each of them (I watched the blue cast in the morning).
Also, the costumes are really neat. I'd seen them on hangers before, but it's nothing like actors actually wearing them!
Today at lunch, I had an interview with Ms. Wilson, and Mrs. G. and Ms. Levin added their own comments too.
They said the following comments:
-Lots of grownups/parents are involved and teachers too.
-This is a "realization of a dream" for Ms. Wilson.
-It's so amazing that all the teachers agreed to do this, even Mr. Melshimer.
-Every person is a part of this.
-Ms. Levin said that it's hard to balence roles in the documentory, since the cast gets more of the spotlight than the crew.
-This is like "play" for the teachers.
-Everyone is good at something different.
-Ms. Wilson said that there's NO way she could have done this without Ms. Snyder.
-The cast affects everyone.
-In 6 months, a year, and so on, except for memories, nothing much will be left except for pictures, the documentory and DVD of the show, and THIS BLOG! That stuff will be history! Think about this, videography people, photographers, and ME!
That's all for today. Tommarow I will start to have a topic each day, and... well, you'll just have to wait and see. Ha!
