Everybody Wants to Be a Cat!
Posted by Megan KirkInspired by the Upper School students, second and third graders were so excited to learn all about what it takes to put on a musical. We started with the music. Students had to use all of the music theory we have been learning all year to help them read and learn the music to their mini-musical. We added choreography and students were able to help with the creative process of choosing the right dance steps. Next, we learned all about the script and how to follow stage directions. After each child received their character, we talked about how an actor makes character decisions based on what is happening to their character both on and off stage. Soon it was time for blocking. This was the students favorite part – putting the show on its feet! The students decided on their own minimal costume pieces to help with their character. Then came joint rehearsals, and finally, the big day! The students did an amazing job on the stage and all looked right at home acting as their characters. Great job Aristocats cast!
