Lights, stage, action!

This week we learned about setting the stage for acting and for a stage performance.  We also were able to have short interviews to see how each student feels that they feel how the class is doing.  I probably should have warned them first because they all seemed a little worried at first that they were in trouble.  Next week we would like to hear monologues from Fischer, Kaela, Lacey and Jonathan. 

Play Performance

I will be attending the Tacoma Youth Theatre's version of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow on October 30th at 7pm.  Please let me know if your child is interested in attending this showing.  More information can be found at:

Becoming the Character

This week we discussed becoming the character. 
Next week, I will be going on the core field trip so Teacher Nalani will be taking over class so I hope that everyone will be on their best behavior.  Kaila and Mollie were going to perform their monologues but I would like to push them back a week further so that I will be there to see them.  

Have fun!

A Round of Applause for our Guest Speaker!

Last Thursday we had a wonderful visit from Maggie Knott from the Tacoma Youth Theater. She taught us about projection, pantomiming props, stage directions and more. We really appreciate her visit. If your family is interesting in participating in a play or attending one with her theater, please go to: http://tacomayouththeatre.blogspot.com/

Next Week Fischer and Reina will be presenting their monologues for the class and we will learn about creating a character. 

Have a great week working on all of your monologues and setting your acting goals!

Dramatically Yours, 

Teacher Leiloni
