a
family thing
Theatre Workshop’s sixth production. Presented in
June, 1998. |
Our two
sections, now each with approximately fifty students enrolled,
work on our end of the year show with the intention to match
the very high standards set in the previous years. Off-track
rehearsals become important in order to achieve the professional
quality shows that have come to be expected from TW. By now,
this final show has traditionally become a show dedicated
to the seniors, just as they are about to graduate and enter
"the real world". With this in mind, the theme of
this show becomes family, in all its forms. This includes
those who are our blood relatives and those others in our
lives who give us love and support — the good and the
bad aspects of each. Highlights include: "Family of Man"
— an ambitious hip hop ballet co-choreographed with Philip
Jeanmarie and Jackie Lopez, detailing the story of man through
contemporary hip hop moves; "Oye Como Va" —
a party band featuring Marshall’s rock and roll teachers
playing and dancing along with students; "Sing, Sing,
Sing" — an exuberant swing dance with a cast of
60 dancers; "Senior Ditch Day" — a wild and
funny mime movement piece looking at a favorite senior activity;
and an African drum dance — choreographed by our guest
choreographer Katina Calvin.
Marshall’s
students continue working with outside projects including:
working with Naomi Goldberg and her professional dance company
on an Israeli dance called "Schnerela" presented
at the Luckman Theater;
and "Butt-out Blues" an anti-smoking Public Service
film directed by Alex Munoz, starring 12 TW students.
