Theatre Workshop’s fourth production. Presented in
June, 1997. |
This end-of-the-year
production demonstrates most successfully so far the concept
of teamwork within the group-- an ensemble spirit, where many
from a variety of backgrounds come together to perform as
one. The show is the result of two semesters of risk taking,
commitment and hard work. Now, at the end of our second year,
the show involves well over 100 students, including stage
crew. The theme of this show explores the concepts of immigration
and coming to a new land and making it home. More ambitious
technical effects are also added- like strobe lights and fog
machines. Highlights in this show include: "The Journey"-
an immigration dance story, showing without words the journey
of families and individuals making their way to the U.S.;
a sketch comedy piece called "The Parking Ticket";
"Just A Girl"- an experimental dance piece with
an aggressive message about the treatment of girls in our
society; a thrilling break dancing segment; and "Lean
On Me"- a finale collaboration with Marshall’s Orchestra
and Chorus.
This semester’ students participate in a dance project
called
"The Hollywood Neighborhood Dance Project", performing
two pieces from our big show ("The Lord’s Prayer"
from the film Sarafina and an energetic Spanish dance to Gloria
Estefan’s "Mi Tierra"), along with local professional
dancers and neighborhood schools.
