It's Showtime!

Question of the Day:  What activity is lots of fun for you?  I like dancing and of course, I love performing.  I enjoy putting music on and dancing or exercising to the music.  The warm-up (for Drama 9/10, but anyone can use it) gives you a chance to try that.

Warm-up:  
Drama 9/10:  Learn the dance for "All That Jazz" (which is a great movie about Bob Fosse who was an amazing dancer and director on Broadway) with dancer Greg Butler.  Here is the link:

Theatre Production 11:  Watch the opening to the movie "All That Jazz" which was a great film about theatre.  Here's the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2e9acreKmQ
What do you think?

Art 8:  There are some interesting pieces of public art in Richmond.  Have you ever noticed "Together" by David Jacob Harder?  It stands in front of the Minoru Centre (on the east side, I think). There is an art installation in Steveston called "Crossover" by Carlyn Yandie.  Do you know where it is?  See if you can find out.

Lesson:
Theatre Production 11:  Your theatre history project is due!

Drama 9/10:  We will perform the Shakespeare scenes today (if you are in A Block -- I sent you an invitation to the Zoom with a list of who is partnering with whom) or Friday (if you are in B Block, I have sent you an invitation and also some of the partners.  If you haven't told me your scene, you need to do so and I will assign you a partner).  These are big dramatic scenes.  The first one is about a murder.  The second one is about guards who have seen a ghost in that place before and they are scared.  The last one is about a couple of guys who want to fight and want the other person to start the fight.
For the grade 10 scenes, the scene between Hamlet and Ophelia shows us Ophelia returning gifts that Hamlet has given her.  They were boyfriend and girlfriend, but now he isn't interested in her any more.  In the Othello scene, Iago is trying to make Othello think that his wife (and his friend, Michael Cassio) are being unfaithful to him.

Art 8:  Work on your art installation.  It's due on Friday.

I am working on your report cards.  You need to make sure you've done the work you are assigned!  We'll keep working until we're done and we'll feel good about what we have accomplished.
