WEEK FIVE: Tuesday

 This was a really busy Tuesday! The busiest Tuesday of all. But we had time to notice things outside



because we spent the whole day outside. We noticed Junebugs and one bloom on the Magnolia tree!  

We were all really enchanted by that beautiful blossom. It's a great symbol of our progress.

We began today exploring our super characters and their superpowers. We did a lot of movement outside and we put a skirt on our stage!





We cultivated our characters with lots of exercises. And we put together three of our four primary scenes! 



The name of our show is, Trouble In Kid City. It's an extension of the work we started two weeks ago. It has evolved from a card game to be the outline of our improvisational show, Trouble In Kid City!
We also have kid contracts to sign because the first rule of theatre is SHOWING UP!

Not to be confused with the first rule of stage combat which is to protect your partner.

Tomorrow we will rehearse in the first half of the morning. And we will paint our stage the second half of the morning. So, we'll need painting clothes. We'll change for lunch. And after lunch we will revisit our costumes and makeup. We will end the day with a rough dress rehearsal.

We'll see you tomorrow at DRAMA CLUB!!

Today, we worked with Miss Deb, Miss Amy, and Jess at Drama Club. Students had already made tie-dyed shirts with Miss Paula and Miss Carol and there would be even more to do AFTER Drama Club too! We all introduced ourselves. We let each other know what our interests were and what we loved to do. We also automatically worked together as a team. We did a name dance.   After that, we talked about observation and journaling . And then we each got two different journals. A large one for our desktop work and a small one for on-the-road observations. We learned that theatre is really about experience, and experiencing. And so we journaled about what it would be like to experience our most awesome amusement park ride.  After that, we played a fun game of Sherlock inside. Sherlock is a lot about...

 We did it!! We had a great day. We began with Emmaline doing vocal warm-ups and Genevieve doing game warm-ups. The floor became lava and everything was fun.  So many supportive friends and family members came out! As well as mentors and volunteers. Between rehearsal and performance, we also were able to meet Miss Deb's dog, Ziggy! The weather was a little warmer today than it's been all week, but the breeze was so nice! After the show some family members found nice shade! Ledo's donated another pizza to our camp for lunch!! After lunch, we got into costume and makeup.  Rutiq and Sip at C Street Flats donated croissants and sandwiches and chips.  Thanks so much to our audience and to everyone who contributed to the 2021 Drama Club camp! Thanks for taking the DRAMA CLUB journey with us!!
